Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Lyon?
The daily price of car rentals in Lyon within the past seven days was as low as $59. With your own affordable ride, the sights in and around this place are well within your reach.
Can I rent a car from Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS)?
Unfortunately, not from Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS). But there is a good selection of car rental options nearby. Choose your favorite wheels with a bit of help from Enterprise/National/Alamo, Sixt, Avis/Budget, Europcar or Virtuo.
What happens if I need to cancel my Lyon car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, the majority of reservations qualify for a total refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental agreement. Read through your itinerary for the details or visit our Customer Service Portal for more information.
Where can I go on a road trip from Lyon?
Lyon has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some great options:

  • You'll discover Stade Geoffroy-Guichard and countless other interesting attractions in Saint-Etienne. From Lyon, it's around 30 miles away.
  • Situated 85 miles away, Clermont-Ferrand is also a hit with wanderers. Allow time to experience Place de Jaude while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this thriving city.
  • Venture into nature and breathe in some fresh air at Camargue Regional Nature Park. You'll find it about 160 miles from Lyon.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Lyon with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your car class and compare prices from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Lyon car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lyon?
Lyon rules state drivers must be at least 18 to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Lyon?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Lyon?
If you don't have a lot of experience driving internationally, you may be glad to know that you'll be sticking to the right side of the road in Lyon. Traffic conditions will differ though, so drive accordingly.
What is the cheapest car rental in Lyon?
The lowest price for a car rental in Lyon within the past seven days was $59 per day. The next best deal snapped up by thrifty travelers was $109. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lyon?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Lyon car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Lyon rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional costs. It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Lyon?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Lyon ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Lyon with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in France, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
