Taxi or private driver from Lyon to Avignon?

Over more than 200 kilometres on the Autoroute du Soleil, often busy in summer, a metered fare would be unpredictable. With a Transfert-Lyon private driver, you know the exact price before you leave:

  • A fixed price, known when you book, however long the journey takes
  • A driver waiting for you on time, at your door or at the airport
  • A van for 8 passengers at €617.50: for a group, the journey becomes very good value
  • Drop-off at the exact address, with no change of transport on arrival

The Lyon–Avignon journey

The route follows the Autoroute du Soleil south, along the Rhône valley, via Vienne, Valence and Montélimar, to Avignon. Allow 2 h 30 to 3 hours in general for about 230 kilometres. In July and August, holiday Saturdays can lengthen the journey: we advise you on the best departure time. A stop at a motorway service area can be planned if you wish, especially if you are travelling with children or a pet, welcome on board free of charge.
