Lyon airport transfer: your private driver, at a fixed price.
Landing at Lyon Saint-Exupéry? Skip the taxi queue and the meter. Your private driver tracks your flight, waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes you straight to your destination, at the price agreed when you book.
Lyon airport ↔ Lyon city centre
Sedan, 1 to 4 passengers
Van, up to 8 passengers
Fixed price including tolls, parking and 70 minutes of waiting.
Why choose a private transfer rather than a taxi?
At Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the taxi rank can be busy when several flights land at once, and taxi fares usually depend on the meter and the traffic on the ring road. With a private transfer booked in advance, everything is arranged before you land.
- Meet and greet in the arrivals hall, with a sign showing your name
- A fixed price agreed when you book, whatever the traffic
- Your flight is tracked: if it is late, your driver waits
- A sedan or a van, with room for your suitcases, skis and pushchairs
