FAQ — Minibus group transfer Lyon Airport
How many passengers can fit in the minibus? ▾
The TAL van carries up to 7 passengers with their luggage. For groups of 1 to 4 people, a standard saloon or estate car is offered — at the base rate with no van surcharge. Above 4 passengers, the van is required with a 40% surcharge on the base fare.
How much does a minibus from Lyon Airport cost for a group of 6? ▾
For 6 people, the van rate applies. Example: Lyon city centre → LYS for 6 people = 84€ (vs 60€ for ≤4 people). That's significantly cheaper than 2 separate vehicles, and the whole group travels together.
Can you transport skis or bikes in the minibus? ▾
Yes. The van has an extended boot. Skis and snowboards fit without disassembly. Bikes may require partial disassembly (front wheel) depending on the model. Please mention your equipment type in the booking notes.
Is the minibus available at night or early morning? ▾
Yes, the service runs 24/7. A 20% surcharge applies between 10 pm and 6 am, in addition to the van surcharge. For early morning flights or late-night group arrivals, let us know at booking.
Can this service be used for a corporate seminar or business group transfer? ▾
Yes. TAL issues a full VAT invoice for business clients. The van is well suited to corporate seminars, client meetings and business groups. Book ahead to guarantee availability.
What is the difference between this service and a taxi van? ▾
A taxi van uses a meter: the final price depends on traffic and actual journey time. TAL fixes the price at booking — you know the exact amount before you get in. Both services are regulated; TAL is a licensed private hire vehicle (VTC) that must be pre-booked.
Minibus and van for groups — Lyon and the AURA region
A standard taxi takes a maximum of 4 passengers. For groups of 5, 6 or 7 people, a van is essential. TAL offers this service with a professional licensed driver based in Chassieu (Lyon Metropolitan Area), 10 minutes from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport.
The van rate is the standard fare plus 40%. For a group of 5 people travelling from Lyon city centre to LYS, that works out to approximately 17€ per person — well below the price of individual taxis, and the whole group travels together.
The service is particularly suited to ski groups (bulky ski equipment), corporate travel (VAT invoicing), and large families who prefer travelling together rather than splitting the group.
