Frequently asked questions
How much does a transfer from Lyon Airport to the city centre cost? ▾
TAL Transfer charges a fixed price of €60 door-to-door, for 1 to 4 passengers. Tolls and fuel are included. Night surcharge +20% between 10pm and 6am (€72). Price confirmed at booking — no hidden fees.
How do I get from Lyon Airport to my Airbnb or hotel in Lyon? ▾
You have three main options: the Rhônexpress train (€16.40/person, 29 minutes, Part-Dieu station only), a metered taxi (€55–100 depending on traffic), or a private transfer with TAL (€60 for the whole vehicle, door-to-door to any address). If your Airbnb or hotel is not near Part-Dieu station, a private transfer is the most convenient choice as it drops you directly at your door.
Does the Rhônexpress go to all areas of Lyon city centre? ▾
No. The Rhônexpress only stops at Lyon Part-Dieu station. If your accommodation is in Vieux-Lyon, Presqu'île, Croix-Rousse, Perrache or another neighbourhood, you will need to continue by metro or taxi. TAL Transfer drops you directly at your address — no connections.
How long does the journey from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport to the city centre take? ▾
Approximately 25 to 45 minutes by car depending on traffic (A432 motorway). The Rhônexpress takes 29 minutes fixed from Part-Dieu, but only runs between 6am and midnight. TAL operates 24/7 including nights and public holidays.
Will the driver meet me at arrivals? ▾
Yes. For all airport pickups at Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign. 60 minutes of free waiting are included — normal flight delays generate no extra charge. Flight tracking is automatic.
Can I book in advance for a late-night or early-morning arrival? ▾
Yes. TAL operates 24/7 without interruption. For arrivals after 10pm, the night rate applies (€72 for the whole vehicle). You can book online up to 2 hours before arrival, or weeks in advance to guarantee availability.
Is the private transfer more expensive than a taxi from Lyon Airport? ▾
Not necessarily. Lyon taxis use a meter: the price varies with traffic and can reach €80–100 in peak hours. TAL charges a fixed price of €60 confirmed at booking. For 2 or more passengers, the private transfer is usually cheaper than individual Rhônexpress tickets (€32.80+ for two) and more convenient than a taxi.
