Private Driver
in Lyon
Lyon is a working city with a business district that empties twice a day, two rivers, and a set of tunnels that decide how long anything takes. A private driver at your disposal is what turns a day of meetings between Confluence, the Part-Dieu and the Beaujolais into one schedule.
My Private Service provides a private chauffeur service in Lyon: airport transfers Lyon-Saint Exupéry LYS, executive car hire, Fête des Lumières and VIP transportation available 24/7 across Lyon and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The tunnels decide the day,
not the distances
Fourvière and the Croix-Rousse sit above the Presqu'île and the traffic passes underneath them, which means the same journey takes fifteen minutes at eleven and forty at five. Vieux-Lyon is a pedestrian world heritage quarter, the Part-Dieu is being rebuilt entry by entry, and the vineyards start twenty minutes north.
Meetings, lunch, and the vineyards after
An hourly booking in Lyon buys the waiting and the local reading of the traffic. The chauffeur stays through the day, and a lunch that runs to three simply moves the rest of it.
- From four hours, with the same chauffeur from the first pickup to the last drop off
- Routing chosen around the Fourvière tunnel and the ring road, which behave differently by the hour
- Drop-off at the usable edge of pedestrian Vieux-Lyon rather than the address itself
- Unlimited stops inside the agreed area, including the Beaujolais and the Rhône valley
- Luggage, samples and cases stay in the car between stops
Lyon and the country around it
The business district, the towers and the banking cluster, with the usable entrance chosen.
The centre and the old quarter, largely pedestrian, reached from the quays.
Lunches in the city and the run out to Collonges, with the car waiting.
Estate visits north and south, full day, with cases carried.
Courchevel, Méribel and the Swiss border as full day bookings.
Saint-Exupéry, Part-Dieu and Perrache at either end of the day.
What is the minimum booking?
Four hours. For a single Saint-Exupéry run the point to point transfer is better value and we will say so.
Can the car reach Vieux-Lyon?
To the quays beside it. The old quarter is a pedestrian world heritage site, so the chauffeur stops at the nearest usable point and waits while you walk in.
Are stops limited?
No, not inside the area agreed at booking. A long lunch simply moves the afternoon, which in Lyon is a realistic assumption.
Can you do the Beaujolais in a day?
Yes, and it is the most requested day out. Estate visits north of the city, with cases carried and the car staying with you.
Does the traffic really change that much?
Yes. The Fourvière tunnel and the ring road are the whole story here. We set departure times against the pattern of that day rather than a fixed rule.
Which vehicles are available?
Mercedes E-Class and S-Class for one to three passengers, V-Class for groups and luggage. Fitted for snow from November for the Alpine runs.
