Taxi Lyon → Roanne
Your Lyon → Roanne transfer at a fixed price of €170–€205. Direct route via A89, 1h05. Online booking.
A taxi between Lyon and Roanne costs between €170 and €205 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 88 kilometres and a journey time of from 65 to 85 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A89, with ~€7.20 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €270. 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.

Roanne is a destination that attracts both gourmets and industrial heritage enthusiasts. The city owes its international reputation to Maison Troisgros, a triple-starred restaurant for over fifty years, a unique feat in world gastronomy history. But Roanne is also a textile and mechanical engineering city, with an industrial fabric reinventing itself. The taxi from Lyon is the most comfortable way to reach this city, especially since the A89 opened, considerably shortening travel time. TaxiNeo provides this transfer at a guaranteed fixed rate, sparing you the uncertainties of the winding road that once crossed the Monts du Lyonnais. Our professional drivers take you serenely through a landscape of green mid-altitude mountains before descending to the Roanne plain and the Loire banks.
Route
Route Lyon → Roanne
The journey starts in Lyon, from Part-Dieu, Perrache or any other address. The driver reaches the A6 towards Paris via the Fourvière tunnel, then quickly branches onto the A89 towards Clermont-Ferrand/Roanne. The motorway climbs through the Beaujolais hills, offering views of wooded valleys and high meadows. You cross Tarare, former capital of muslin, nestled in a steep valley. After the Col des Sauvages (720m altitude), the landscape opens onto the Roannais hills and the Loire plain is visible in the distance. The descent towards Roanne is gradual with panoramic views of the Madeleine mountains and the Forez. Arrival in Roanne is from the east, with direct access to the city centre and the Le Coteau business zone. Total toll is approximately €7.20, included in the TaxiNeo fare.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Lyon → Roanne route
The A89 between Lyon and Roanne is a recent and generally fluid route, except on Friday evenings of major departures. The mountainous section between Tarare and the Col des Sauvages may experience winter conditions (snow, fog) from November to March: our vehicles are equipped accordingly. If visiting Troisgros, book your return taxi in advance, especially for dinner, as availability can be limited in rural areas. For business travellers, Roanne has several well-served business zones (Le Coteau, Mably, Riorges). Onboard Wi-Fi lets you work during the one-hour journey. In summer, take advantage of your trip to request a stop at the Loire gorges, accessible from Roanne, a spectacular natural site.
