Taxi Lyon TL

Description

Look, I’ve gotta tell ya about Taxi Lyon TL – they’re pretty much Lyon’s OG taxi service, cruising the streets since ’71. Having lived in France for a few years myself, I can tell you that finding a reliable taxi service isn’t always easy, but these folks have seriously got their act together. What really caught my attention is their ISO certification – that’s actually pretty rare for a taxi company in France.

Best Time to Visit

Ya know what’s funny about Lyon? The taxi situation can get pretty crazy during peak times. From my experience, you’ll wanna book Taxi Lyon TL at least a day ahead if you’re traveling during the Festival of Lights in December – that’s when literally everyone’s trying to get somewhere! Summer months can be pretty hectic too, especially during those massive music festivals. But here’s a pro tip: early morning hours (5-7 AM) are usually your best bet for quick pickups, and I’ve found their service particularly reliable during these quieter hours.

How to Get There

Getting a Taxi Lyon TL is actually super straightforward. Their online booking platform is your best friend here – and I’m saying this as someone who’s used plenty of French taxi services. You can book through their website (which, thankfully, doesn’t look like it’s stuck in 1999 like some other French taxi sites), or if you’re old school, just give ’em a call. They cover all the major spots: Saint-Exupéry Airport, Part-Dieu and Perrache train stations, and pretty much anywhere in the Greater Lyon area.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, lemme share some insider knowledge here. First off, don’t wait till the last minute to book if you’re heading to the airport – I learned this the hard way! Their fixed-rate airport transfers are actually cheaper than jumping in a random taxi, plus you won’t get that thing where drivers mysteriously “take the scenic route.”

For the budget-conscious travelers (hey, we’ve all been there), try grouping your journey with other passengers heading the same way – they’re usually cool with this and it can save you some serious euros. Oh, and keep their contact number handy – their English-speaking dispatch service has saved my bacon more than once when I’ve been stuck in some random Lyon neighborhood.

Also, and this is important – they accept credit cards, but it never hurts to carry some cash just in case there’s a technical hiccup. I always recommend having at least 20€ on hand, ya know, just to be safe. During big events or rainy days (and Lyon gets its fair share of those), wait times can stretch a bit, so factor that into your planning.

One last thing – if you’re planning on using them regularly during your stay, ask about their loyalty program. They don’t advertise it much, but it can save you some decent money if you’re gonna be zipping around Lyon for a few days. And seriously, their pre-booking system is a game-changer – use it whenever possible!
