Private-hire car in Villeurbanne, the second city of the metropolitan area
With more than 150,000 inhabitants, Villeurbanne is a city in its own right next to Lyon: Gratte-Ciel and its Art Deco town hall, La Doua campus with INSA and Claude-Bernard University, the Charpennes interchange, the TNP theatre… A dense city where finding a taxi at the right moment can be a challenge.
Our drivers cover all neighbourhoods — Gratte-Ciel, Charpennes, Tonkin, Croix-Luizet, Cusset, Flachet, Grandclément — with a price fixed at booking, day and night.

Airport and stations from Villeurbanne
Villeurbanne → Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport takes 25 to 35 minutes depending on the starting neighbourhood and traffic on the Laurent-Bonnevay ring road. Part-Dieu station is less than ten minutes from Gratte-Ciel: handy for catching an early high-speed train without relying on the metro. Enter your flight or train number when booking; we follow the actual time.
For students and families on La Doua campus, we provide departures to the airport in the early hours — including when the T1 tram is not yet running. The 7-seat van easily takes the suitcases from a year of study.
A city that also lives at night
Concerts at Le Transbordeur, shows at the TNP, student parties at La Doua: Villeurbanne stays up late, and metro A stops before your evening ends. Our drivers operate 24/7 — the price stays fixed in advance, with no surprise night or weekend surcharge beyond the published fare scale.
