Lyon ↔ Turin private-hire car: crossing the Alps in a sedan
About 300 km link Lyon to Turin via the A43, the Maurienne valley and the Fréjus Tunnel: allow 3 h to 3 h 30. Direct rail links between the two cities have been limited in recent years — a private-hire car offers a simple alternative: departure from your Lyon address at the time you choose, fixed price including French and Italian tolls and the tunnel, drop-off at the exact address in Piedmont.
Journey in a Standard or Premium sedan for up to 4 passengers, or a Mercedes V-Class van for up to 7 for a team or family.

A business journey between two industrial capitals
Lyon and Turin share a rich industrial history: automotive, aerospace, engineering. We regularly drive teams to industrial sites in Piedmont, the Politecnico, trade fairs at Lingotto or a meeting in the city centre — a same-day round trip is possible with an early departure, and the chauffeur hire option keeps the vehicle and driver at your disposal between meetings.
We also drop off at Turin-Caselle airport for connections, or pick up travellers at Saint-Exupéry who are continuing to Italy when direct flights are unavailable.
Crossing the border: what to plan for
France and Italy are in the Schengen Area: there are no systematic checks, but a valid identity document per passenger is recommended, as occasional checks may take place at the tunnel. The vehicle and driver comply with the requirements for driving in Italy, and the cost of the Fréjus Tunnel is already included in the quoted price — no supplement is added along the way.
In winter, the Maurienne is a safe valley that is continuously cleared of snow, but the driver monitors conditions and adjusts the departure time if necessary. On request, the route via the Mont Blanc Tunnel and the Aosta Valley is possible, for example for a stop in Courmayeur.

A valid national identity card or passport per passenger is enough: France and Italy are in the Schengen Area, but occasional checks remain possible at the tunnel.
How long does the Lyon-Turin journey take?
Between 3 h and 3 h 30 depending on the starting point, traffic in the Maurienne and the tunnel crossing. For a set-time appointment in Turin, we calculate the recommended departure time with a margin.
