Top tips for hiring a car at Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport

  • Lyons-Saint Exupery Airport (LYS) is well-connected to Lyon city centre by road and is an ideal location for hiring a car. Driving from the airport to Lyon city centre, instead of using public transport, will generally shorten your journey time, giving you a convenient start to your trip. Car hire at Lyons-Saint Exupery Airport also gives you a great opportunity to explore surrounding regions, as Lyon Airport is also connected by road to many scenic rural areas, such as Le Puy and Oyonnax.
  • Lyon Airport is located close to the Lyon Part Dieu’s International Business Park and is a popular destination for business travellers. If you’re flying for work, car hire at Lyons-Saint Exupery Airport is an excellent choice and will help avoid long waits for the business park shuttle service from the airport, which is often very crowded. A hire car also gives you a convenient way to travel between meetings or events if you are in Lyon for work.
  • As Lyon Airport is a popular destination with business travellers, it is often busy during the week in commuter rush-hour periods, such as the early mornings and mid-late afternoons. Therefore, you should avoid these times of day if you want to beat the crowds when picking up or returning your vehicle. Some Lyons-Saint Exupery Airport car hire companies, like SIXT, Enterprise, and Hertz, are open into the evening on weekdays and at weekends for vehicle collection, meaning you can dodge rush-hour footfall. SIXT also offers a convenient 24h returns service.
  • Choose from a huge variety of rental models when you select car rental at Lyon Airport. With a wide range of car hire companies available, you can choose a vehicle or booking category to suit your own personal travel needs. Many companies offer economy rental options if you’re on a budget, while others offer options such as SUVs or multi-seaters if you’re travelling with family, or you want some extra space for luggage.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire at Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport for RM 131 or less
  • Book your car hire at Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport

  • Which car hire services offer quick service at LYS?

    If you want quick and easy car hire at Lyons-Saint Exupery Airport, companies like Alamo are a good option for you. Alamo offers an accelerated check-in option. This allows you to register your details and provide essential documents online before you pick up your vehicle. This way, once you get to the counter, it’s just a case of picking up your keys and getting started on the road. Some other available companies, such as Dollar car hire, also offer a pre-collection online registration service to speed up your transaction. Meanwhile, Virtuo offers a fully hands-off, self-service car rental experience and allows you to complete your whole car hire and pick-up through your smart phone.

  • Which documents do you need to collect your hire car from Lyon Airport?

    When you go to collect your vehicle from car hire companies at Lyon Airport, you should take your driver’s licence with you. You should also take the credit or debit card that you used to pay for the hire or to make the online booking. Although not all car hire companies require this, it is also a good idea to take some form of ID proof with you when you go to pick up your car.

  • Where will you find car rental companies at LYS?

The inflate tire light went on immediately. I found a garage that inflated the tires and turned off the light for me. Alamo should check all tires before sending a car out.

1. Reserved a small suv, got a small hatchback that couldn’t even fit our two suitcases. 2. Exterior of car was filthy 3. Warning lights going off in French the entire time. Low tire pressure, brake system failure, post collision warning. All in French. Unnecessarily stressful rental experience. Not pleasant.

When we arrived to pick up the car arranged for by Kayak the size of the car available at the lot was inadequate to economy as booked with kayak (we were offered minuscule Fiat Panda instead of reserved Peugeot 308 or equal). No other cars were available in the economy size on the lot. I was left to upgrade to a "40 euro/day" to DS3 compact SUV. The 40/day charge turned out to be 22.16 + 33.33 (stated as customer requested upgrade) + 20% tax. My final bill was 385.63 vs 185.65. The car was great with great mileage and features. The Fiat Panda would be unsafe and inapropriate for the mileage and speed we needed to be driving at. The transaction leaves me not overly impressed by KAYAK's coordination and guarantees of price and quality.

Europe car staff was rude and untruthful. Car had damage on every body panel. When you refuse extra insurance they force you to sign a contract promising to pay nearly double the MSRP if the car if it is damaged. (Fiat 500 MSRP 17k insisted I sign to pay 30k USD)

The car assigned was missing a hubcap and had body damage from a previous rental. No after hours drop off instructions provided for destination, and dark desolate Eurocar drop off location in Grenoble. Due to miscreants loitering in the dark in the area, decided not to risk my life, and left tand incurred an add’l days rental to return following day.

The car was clean and spacious, but hard to find. Located in a remote parking lot and space. It was hard to navigate the distance w luggage. The car was different from what was promised: expected a hybrid car w GPS. It was neither. Contactless renting has its advantages. At the same time you need internet service every time you open and lock the car. We travelled to Lyon from a different continent and so this was an issue.

It appeared my vehicle had been upgraded as I was given an automatic hybrid car which was lovely to drive & economic on fuel!

Pela necessidade de acréscimo de um dia a nossa reserva alteraram toda a reserva para o preço atual em vigor, ficando o valor do aluguer 3x superior e acréscimo de 12,50€ por dia por segundo condutor pela exigência de titular de cartão de crédito e condutor ser o mesmo. Experiência muito negativa....
