Gare de Lyon is one of the largest and busiest stations in Paris — the arrival point for TGVs from Lyon, Marseille and the French Riviera, TGV Lyria from Geneva and Lausanne, and trains from Milan and Turin. Its scale and crowds can be overwhelming after a long trip. With Reservation Chauffeur, there is no searching: your driver is on the platform with a name sign, ready to take your luggage and lead you to a waiting luxury car.

Gare de Lyon Chauffeur FAQ

Where will my chauffeur meet me at Gare de Lyon?

The exact meeting point is sent in advance in your booking confirmation, together with your chauffeur's name, mobile number, car model and licence plate. Gare de Lyon has two main halls — Hall 1 under the clock tower and Hall 2 towards Bercy — so we track your TGV's real arrival time and platform, and your chauffeur positions himself at the head of your train, name sign in hand. If you don't spot each other straight away in the crowd, just call the number in your confirmation.

Where exactly can my chauffeur pick me up at Gare de Lyon?

By law — articles L.3120-2 and L.3122-9 of the French Transport Code — a private chauffeur may only collect a pre-booked passenger and cannot wait parked on the street outside the station, which is why you won't see the car idling at the exit. In practice at Gare de Lyon, the most reliable spots are the Kiss & Ride drop-off zone by Hall 1 and the Indigo Gare de Lyon car park, which we favour for pick-ups: your chauffeur parks there, meets you at the train and walks you to the car. Rue de Bercy and boulevard Diderot allow only a very brief stop. Layouts change over time, so your chauffeur always confirms the exact meeting point before you arrive.

Is waiting time free if my TGV is late?

Yes. We track your TGV or international train in real time and include free waiting time, so a delay never costs you extra.

Do you welcome international travellers?

Yes. Our English-speaking chauffeurs regularly welcome guests arriving from Geneva, Lausanne, Milan and the south of France, with fixed all-inclusive prices set in advance.

Can you take me from Gare de Lyon to the airport?

Of course — direct transfers to CDG, Orly and Beauvais, with flight tracking.

How do I avoid fake taxis and unlicensed drivers?

In the halls of Gare de Lyon, arriving travellers are sometimes approached by people offering a ride — a genuine chauffeur never solicits. Your confirmation gives you everything to check before getting in: the chauffeur's name, the car model and the licence plate. A booked transfer is paid at the fixed price agreed at reservation, never renegotiated in cash on the spot. Official taxis queue at the marked rank outside, with a roof light and a meter. If in doubt, call your chauffeur on the number in your confirmation.
