Why do companies in Lyon choose our private hire vehicles?
In Lyon, corporate headquarters, subsidiaries of international groups, firms, and institutions organize days where each appointment depends on the previous one. For this reason, you need a reliable private driver to navigate the city, even with a tight schedule.
TSE addresses this reality with experienced drivers, 24/7 availability , and the ability to adapt when an appointment runs longer or a schedule changes during the day.
Discretion is also part of the service: with us, an executive or an accompanied client can work, exchange ideas or simply rest during the journey, without their driver interfering with this time.
Our drivers know the access points to the main office buildings of Part-Dieu, the times when traffic is heavy around the ring road, or the best way to reach the Presqu’île from an outlying location.
With TSE, you save valuable time and are on time for your appointments.
Do you also handle transfers in Lyon?
Are you arriving in Lyon via one of the two SNCF train stations, or via Saint-Exupéry airport? Our private hire drivers are also available to pick you up , regardless of your arrival and/or departure time.
Lyon has the distinction of having two major train stations, unlike most large French cities. Lyon-Part-Dieu station handles the majority of TGV connections, particularly to Paris, Marseille, and Geneva, and is located in the heart of the business district. Perrache station, closer to the Presqu’île (peninsula) and the historic center, serves more regional connections and remains a frequent arrival point for visitors heading directly to the city center.
This difference changes the organisation of a transfer: the pick-up point, the travel time to a company or hotel and the best route to take are not the same depending on the station concerned.
TSE tailors its pick-up service to the specific station you book, rather than offering a similar service for both. Our driver will be waiting for you early, directly at a pre-defined exit , saving you the hassle of searching for your meeting point in an unfamiliar station.
Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is a central transit point for the city’s business and international clientele, as well as for tourists.
A private car transfer makes perfect sense for a late arrival, or when the timing of your stay is tight.
Here, your driver follows the actual schedule of your flight , not the theoretical schedule of your reservation, allowing for an early or late arrival.
Upon arrival, passengers are greeted with a sign bearing their name. This same level of attention is applied to the return journey: we allow sufficient time to account for traffic to the airport, even during peak hours.
Need a ride within Lyon? We’re here for you too.
With their knowledge of the city and their punctuality, our drivers will be waiting for you at the bottom of your door or at the location of your choice , and will take you to your destination using the fastest route.
Do you also organize travel for delegations and groups of several people?
No matter how many people are in your group, we know how to adapt and offer the best solution for you.
Our vehicles range from the classic sedan (Mercedes E-Class, or Mercedes S-Class, maximum 3 seats) to the double-decker coach (80 seats), including the minibus (up to 19 seats).
First, tell us your needs, and we will select the best vehicle for you based on your number of passengers, your luggage, or the level of discretion you desire.
The icing on the cake: we can also coordinate vehicles , if needed. We then take care of your teams’ travel 100%, with the same level of rigor and quality that we provide for our individual services.
Do you provide drivers for a day or more?
If you have several trips planned in Lyon, we can provide you with one of our drivers for half a day, a full day or several days.
You will be driven to all the places that mark your day, and your assigned driver will be waiting for you at the exit of your meeting, your sightseeing tour or your restaurant.
The main advantage is having a single driver at your disposal for a pre-defined time slot or number of days. Therefore, there’s no need to constantly book a new trip.
Can your private hire drivers provide transport to Geneva or a resort in the Alps?
Lyon is about a two-hour drive from Geneva, making it a natural starting point for business trips to Switzerland. This same geographical location also makes Lyon a gateway to Alpine resorts, particularly for ski holidays.
TSE provides this type of long-distance journey with the same requirement for punctuality and comfort as an urban journey.
The best part? For winter sports enthusiasts, we can also transport your equipment. Our fleet consists of spacious vehicles, to which we can even add a trailer if needed.
What is the composition of your vehicle fleet in Lyon?
Our fleet consists of modern, spacious and comfortable vehicles, to ensure you have the best possible journey conditions:
- Mercedes E-Class , a sedan offering an excellent compromise between comfort and discretion, and perfectly suited for individual errands;
- Mercedes S-Class , limousine with a higher level of comfort than the E-Class;
