How to Get from Lyon Airport to City Center with VTC Lyon Express
Why Choose VTC Lyon Express for Your Airport Transfer
Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) is about 30 km from the city center, with a typical journey taking 30-40 minutes by car. VTC Lyon Express offers premium private transfers that are faster and more comfortable than public options like the Rhônexpress tram, providing door-to-door service 24/7 without the hassle of queues or luggage stress.
Private Transfer vs Public Transport Options
While the Rhônexpress tram costs around €33 and runs from 5:00 AM to midnight, it requires connections and isn’t ideal for groups or late arrivals. Taxis average €50-70 but face long waits during peaks. Our VTC service ensures a dedicated driver monitoring your flight for ultimate reliability.

Benefits of Pre-Booking Your Ride
Pre-booked VTC rides eliminate taxi rank lines, offer flight delay flexibility, and provide a safer, more personalized experience—especially useful outside tram hours or with heavy bags. It’s the top choice for convenience over budget options like bus-tram combos costing €2 but taking longer.
