The Experience
"We track your flight, so if you land early or late, we know it," our driver told me as he held the nameplate at the arrivals terminal. That's the whole thing right there — you step out into the baggage hall and someone is already looking for you, not the other way around. The driver helps with luggage, opens the door, and you're in a Mercedes-Benz EQV or Class V heading into Lyon without having to figure out taxis, shuttle schedules, or how much the ride should cost. The car is clean, the air conditioning works, and there's bottled water waiting.
The transfer from Lyon Airport (LYS) to your hotel or apartment in the city takes about 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. What makes this different from a standard taxi is the 60 minutes of free waiting time built in — if your flight is delayed or you're slow getting through customs, the driver is still there, tracking your flight in real time. You don't pay extra for the wait, and you don't have to text or call to reschedule. All airport taxes and parking are included in the price, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
The vehicle fits up to eight passengers, and if you're traveling with an infant, specialized car seats are available — you just need to mention it when you book. The driver stays in the front, you ride in the back for safety, and the whole arrangement is built around getting you to your hotel or apartment ready to start your day, not frazzled from negotiating ground transport in a language you might not speak.
What’s included
Your transfer includes private transportation in a luxury Mercedes van, meet-and-greet with a nameplate at arrivals, flight tracking with 60 minutes of free waiting time, bottled water, assistance with luggage, and all airport taxes and parking fees. The driver opens and closes the door for you, and you ride in the back seat for safety.
