Cheap Van Hire in Lyon
Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Lyon
- Lyon is a premier family destination for winter and summer travel, so if you’re intent on exploring the city’s charms with the relatives, consider a Lyon people carrier hire for your transport needs. This vehicle type offers the advantages of size and cargo space, but it also affords the convenience and flexibility to move at a moment’s notice unconstrained by the limitations of public transport. Musee des Confluences and Parc de Gerland are two attractions approx. 4.6 km from the city centre with great views of the Rhone while the city of Geneva and its iconic lake are located about 150 km west via A42/A40.
- There’s a car hire centre at Lyon-Saint-Exupery Airport where you can obtain a people carrier hire. The minimum age to apply is 21, but major providers attach daily surcharges to all drivers under age 25. You can locate the airport car hire centre near Car Park 5 and there’s airport shuttle transport to ferry you there once you exit International Arrivals. SIXT, Europcar and Virtuo are a few of the major and local providers operating at the centre where you can drive away with a spacious vehicle like the Peugeot 5008 or Renault Kangoo at affordable rates.
- Always drive your Lyon people carrier hire on the right-side of the road. Before leaving the lot be sure to plug-in your hands-free mobile device and check all passengers are wearing seatbelts. Regarding local speed limits, you should drive at 31 mph (50 km/h) in residential/commercial zones and at 55 mph (90 km/h) through rural parts of the city. The maximum speed allowed on highways like the A7 is 80 mph (130 km/h). Traffic cameras are used widely here, so refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In case of emergency dial 112 for assistance.
- Lyon is France’s third-largest city so you should expect moderate to heavy vehicular volumes in areas around the city centre, especially during the summer months. The A6/A7, D306 and D383 are the main tributaries flowing traffic in/out of the city and there’s a massive interchange in the western section of the city that’s particularly prone to tie-ups. These will occur usually during the morning hours from 7-9 a.m. and in the evening between 7-9 p.m., but you can also get disruptions in the city centre during the afternoon hours from 1-3 p.m., which is a key period for pedestrian activity.
- 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Lyon for $178 or less
- Book your people carrier hire in Lyon at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Lyon
What are the best locations for a Lyon people carrier hire?
Lyon-Saint-Exupery Airport is most convenient for passengers entering the city by plane, but there are a couple of additional transit points where you can get a people carrier hire in the city. Gare de Lyon Part-Dieu is the city’s main railway terminal and a major entry point for European travellers, so you could arrange with providers like Enterprise, SIXT or Europcar to pick-up your vehicle in the vicinity. If you train arrives instead at Gare de Lyon Perrache, you can make arrangements with Europcar, Avis and Thrifty who operate offices near the terminal.

You’ll also need a major credit card or debit card for payment and providers insist the name on your card should match that on your driver’s license to avoid any complications.

If you can find it, free on-street parking is best for a Lyon people carrier hire. Otherwise, there is metered parking on city streets and at public parking garages where you can leave your vehicle. Paid parking hours are Mon-Sat: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., which means you can park for free from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. and all-day on Sunday, unless street signs indicate otherwise.
