Your taxi in Lyon
Gastronomy capital and France's third-largest metropolis, Lyon revolves around Part-Dieu and Saint-Exupéry Airport. Enjoy drivers using bus lanes for precious time savings on business trips or during the Festival of Lights.
Booking a taxi in Lyon means choosing between a metered ride and a fixed price quoted before departure. 650 partner drivers cover the city, for an average wait of 4 min. The most frequent pick-ups are in Presqu'île, Vieux Lyon and Croix-Rousse. The most requested route, Central Lyon — Saint Exupéry Airport, is offered at €60–€75. The metered fare is not set freely: it follows the department's prefectoral order, which caps the pick-up charge, the price per kilometre and the waiting hour, with a higher rate from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The meter shows the letter of the current rate, which lets you check it. The price booked in advance includes luggage and the driver's approach and does not change in traffic. Card payment can never be refused, and a receipt is issued automatically from twenty-five euros.
