Lyon ↔ Grenoble private-hire car: the capital of the Alps door-to-door
About 110 km via the A43 and then the A48: allow 1 h 15 to 1 h 30 between Lyon and Grenoble under normal conditions. TER trains are frequent on this route but often crowded at peak times; the private-hire car takes over when timing, comfort or door-to-door service matter — an early meeting, a late return, bulky luggage or a whole team in a van.

Research, industry, healthcare: the addresses we serve
Grenoble is home to one of Europe's leading scientific hubs: the Presqu'île scientifique (CEA, Minatec, synchrotron), the Saint-Martin-d'Hères university campus and the metropolitan area's R&D centres. We drop researchers, doctoral students and corporate visitors directly at the site's reception — convenient when arriving from Saint-Exupéry airport, which remains Grenoble's natural air gateway, less than an hour away by road.
Other regular journeys: the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital in La Tronche for specialist consultations, Alpexpo for trade fairs, and Grenoble station for connections. Businesses have an account with monthly invoicing for recurring shuttles between the two cities.
Grenoble, base camp for the Oisans and Vercors
From Grenoble, Alpe d'Huez and Les 2 Alpes are about an hour away, Chamrousse 45 minutes, and the Vercors half an hour. If your final destination is the resort, request the estimate to the exact address of the residence: the direct Lyon → resort journey avoids a change in Grenoble, and the 7-seat van takes the whole family's skis and luggage.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the Lyon-Grenoble journey take by private-hire car?
1 h 15 to 1 h 30 under normal conditions via the A48. During Friday evening rush hours or holiday returns, the driver plans ahead and adjusts the departure time to meet your schedule.
Do you serve the Presqu'île scientifique and the campus?
Yes, daily: CEA, Minatec, Saint-Martin-d'Hères campus, La Tronche University Hospital, Alpexpo. Drop-off is at the entrance of the site or building you specify.
Is a private-hire car worthwhile compared with the Lyon-Grenoble TER?
For a flexible solo traveller, the train remains economical. A private-hire car becomes worthwhile for door-to-door travel: very early or late times, luggage, a group of 3 to 7 people in a van (the price is shared), or a tight connection at Saint-Exupéry with flight tracking.
Can you continue to Alpe d'Huez or Les 2 Alpes?
Yes, the estimate is made to the final address in the resort. In winter, our vehicles are equipped for the mountains and the 7-seat van carries skis and luggage.
