ONLY VTC: the Lyon private-hire platform, designed and operated in Saint-Priest
ONLY VTC is a French platform for booking private-hire drivers, based at 4 rue de l'Aviation in Saint-Priest (Rhône). Since 2016, we have connected individuals, businesses and assistance companies with professional drivers across the Lyon area and beyond.
This page presents our whole ecosystem: the apps, the services and the open data we publish.
The platform in figures
All our operating figures (acceptance times, airport/night shares, distances) are public: see theTransport observatory, open data under the CC BY 4.0 licence.
A complete ecosystem, developed in-house
Booking, dispatch, GPS tracking, invoicing: the whole chain is covered by tools we build ourselves.
Customer app (iOS & Android)
Immediate or advance booking, price known before ordering, real-time GPS tracking of the driver, tracking link to share with a loved one, invoices in the app.
Real-time dispatch
Our dispatch centre views drivers in real time, broadcasts rides to the first to accept or assigns them directly, and follows each time-stamped milestone (acceptance, approach, pick-up, drop-off).
Business portal
A complete space to manage the travel of your teams and clients:
- Beneficiary management : employees, temporary staff or clients registered just once — with no account or app to install on their side.
- Notifications and tracking link : each beneficiary receives ride information (driver, vehicle, time) by SMS or email along with a real-time GPS tracking link.
- Cost centers : monthly budgets by department, consumption tracking and overspend alerts.
- Recurring rides : daily journeys (shift starts, shuttles) generated automatically according to the defined schedule.
- Invoicing : consolidated invoice at 30 days, detailed history, CSV/Excel exports.
See the page Business.
Driver app
Receiving and accepting rides, navigation, ride milestones, tracking of professional documents (VTC card, insurance) — an expired document suspends access to missions. See Become a driver.

Observatory →A company rooted in Saint-Priest
Our head office is located at 4 rue de l'Aviation, 69800 Saint-Priest, in the heart of the eastern Lyon area — a few minutes from the Mi-Plaine business area, Eurexpo and Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport. This location is no accident: a large share of our business and airport rides start from here.
- Local employment : our partner drivers are independent professionals from the region — we are always recruiting.
- Local economy : we work with businesses in the eastern Lyon area (Mi-Plaine zones, business parks) and local partners such as the ChloroFEEL coworking spaces.
- Transparency : we publish our operating data as open data — a unique approach among private-hire operators in the Lyon region.
