Directions for your transfer from Lyon airport
Lyon Airport (LYS), formerly known as Lyon Satolas Airport, is located just outside the city centre of Lyon, the third-largest city in France. The airport serves the entire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and is one of the most important transportation hubs in France. In order to reach the city centre, your Lyon airport taxi driver will take the main highway D29 to D147 and then turn right onto D302 following signs for Lyon. Your driver will follow this route across both rivers, before turning on to Boulevard Laurent Bonnevay down the side of the Rhône into the city centre. From here, he will take the local city roads to reach your hotel.
A Lyon airport taxi for you
Although there are cheaper options for your transfer from Lyon airport, taking a taxi is by far the most comfortable and time-saving option. Not only will you eliminate the need to navigate complicated public transportation, putting your personal belongings at risk, but taking a Lyon airport taxi is the only transfer option that will take you directly to your hotel, allowing you to get your vacation started as soon as possible.
Cost of your Lyon airport transfer
All Lyon airport taxi drivers must adhere to a regionally regulated taxi fare. This means that all licensed taxis in the core area of Lyon must use a regulated taximeter to calculate their fee using a monitored cost system based on distance. If you’d prefer a set-rate fee for your transfer from Lyon airport, you will need to book your taxi in advance from a private provider.
When traffic is light, taking a Lyon airport taxi into the city centre will cost around 50€ in the day and 70€ at night, during the hours of 19:00 and 07:00. Having said this, additional costs for excess luggage, waiting time, vehicle type and special holidays may be applied.
