Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport private-hire car: your fixed-price transfer
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport (LYS) is located in Colombier-Saugnieu, about 25 km east of central Lyon. By private-hire car, allow 25 to 35 minutes from Part-Dieu depending on traffic on the eastern ring road and the A432 — a journey our drivers have made several times a day since 2016.
Unlike a taxi meter, your price is fixed at booking: traffic jam on the ring road or not, you pay the amount quoted. And unlike the Rhônexpress, you leave from your home, at the time you choose, with your luggage handled all the way to the terminal.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if my flight lands late at Saint-Exupéry?
We track your flight in real time using the flight number provided at booking. The pick-up time is adjusted automatically, at no extra charge, and you keep your 15 minutes of free waiting after the actual landing.
Is a private-hire car more expensive than the Rhônexpress?
Compare the current rail fare for your group with the private-hire quote for your address and time. Travelling as two or three does not automatically make the private-hire car cheaper. Its advantages: door-to-door pick-up, help with luggage, no connections and an agreed time. The private-hire price is quoted per vehicle, with inclusions shown at booking.
Where does the driver wait for me at the airport?
In the arrivals area of your terminal (T1 or T2), with a sign bearing your name. The driver's phone number is sent to you before the ride: you can reach them directly on your way out.
Can I book an airport transfer for 4 a.m.?
Yes. We operate 24/7, including very early departures and arrivals after midnight. Book in advance to guarantee availability — up to 30 days ahead.
