Taxi Lyon → Mâcon
Your Lyon → Mâcon transfer at a fixed price of €140–€170. Direct route via A6, 50 min. Online booking.
A taxi between Lyon and Mâcon costs between €140 and €170 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 72 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 70 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A6, with ~€6.60 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €220. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Mâcon is a charming city that marks the border between Beaujolais and Burgundy, two of France's most prestigious wine regions. Set on the banks of the Saône, it charms with its Quai Lamartine (the poet was born here), half-timbered houses and proximity to the Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Viré-Clessé vineyards. The taxi from Lyon is ideal for wine enthusiasts wishing to visit Mâconnais wine estates without worrying about driving. It is also a frequent trip for business travellers, as Mâcon is an important logistics hub with business parks and a TGV station. TaxiNeo offers a comfortable transfer with a fixed rate, letting you enjoy the panorama of Beaujolais and Mâconnais vineyards without the stress of the often very busy A6 motorway.
Route
Route Lyon → Mâcon
Departure is from your Lyon address. The driver reaches the Fourvière tunnel or northern ring road to access the A6 towards Paris/Mâcon. The motorway first crosses Lyon's northern suburbs and you quickly spot Villefranche-sur-Saône, the Beaujolais capital, recognisable by its bell tower and tile roofs. The Beaujolais hillsides unfold on the right: this is where the Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and Juliénas crus are born. The landscape is rolling and green, punctuated by small winemaking villages with welcoming cellars. After Belleville-en-Beaujolais, you enter Saône-et-Loire and the first Mâconnais appellations appear. Arrival at Mâcon is via the Mâcon-Sud interchange, with direct access to the city centre and Saône quaysides. Total toll is approximately €6.60, included in the TaxiNeo fare.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Lyon → Mâcon route
The A6 between Lyon and Mâcon is a very busy section, especially on the third Thursday of November weekend for the Beaujolais Nouveau release, when traffic is exceptional. Friday evening holiday departures and Sunday evening returns can also be heavy. For wine lovers, we recommend asking your driver for a detour via the Beaujolais wine route (through Fleurie or Juliénas): for a slight supplement, you will cross exceptional wine landscapes. In summer, Mâcon hosts many festivals along the Saône. If planning a wine-tasting stay in the Mâconnais, a taxi is the ideal solution: you can taste freely without worrying about driving. Our drivers can recommend the best estates to visit.
