Accessible transport in Lyon, the alternative to taxis: an adapted vehicle and an attentive driver.
Getting around with reduced mobility should never be stressful. Whether you travel in a wheelchair or simply need help getting on board, your driver takes the time needed to accompany you safely, door to door.
Two options to suit your needs
Everyone’s needs are different. We offer the most comfortable solution for your situation:
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicle : you travel in your own wheelchair, with no transfer, positioned and secured safely
- Standard vehicle with assistance : if you can sit in a seat, your driver helps you on board and stows your folding wheelchair, walker or canes in the boot
If in doubt, simply describe your situation: we will recommend the most suitable vehicle.
Accessible taxi or adapted private driver: what changes
Finding an adapted vehicle at the last minute is often difficult. With a private driver booked in advance, your journey is prepared before pick-up:
- The right vehicle is guaranteed, because it is reserved for you
- Your driver knows your needs before arriving
- The price is agreed in advance, with no meter
- A relative or carer can travel with you
An attentive driver
Beyond the vehicle, it is the driver’s attention that makes the difference. Our professional drivers are trained in service quality and in assisting passengers who need it.
- Door-to-door service
- Help getting into and out of the vehicle
- Patience: the time needed is built into your booking
- Careful handling of your wheelchair, luggage and personal equipment
- Discretion and respect at every stage of the journey

Comfort at every stage
A successful trip starts well before departure. When you book, we note your habits and preferences: seat on board, temperature, breaks on a long journey, the most accessible pick-up point outside your home. Your driver arrives a few minutes early so you are never rushed, and lets you know when they arrive. At your destination, they make sure you are settled or welcomed before leaving. For regular trips, we keep this information so that every journey goes exactly as you wish.
