Why a dedicated vehicle for this type of goods

Paris–Lyon is France's busiest corridor for urgent transport. It links the country's leading economic region to its second industrial basin: the chemical valley and pharmaceutical cluster to the south, headquarters and data centres at La Part-Dieu, automotive and mechanical subcontracting in eastern Lyon, and trade shows at Eurexpo. Add the Hospices Civils de Lyon, which concentrate much of the region's urgent medical equipment needs.

Over this distance the high-speed train looks attractive — two hours — but it means getting to the station, finding a courier on arrival and working to fixed timetables; the goods change hands twice and nothing runs between midnight and 6 a.m. A dedicated vehicle leaves immediately, drives through the night and delivers to the exact address. That is what counts when a production line is down or an operating theatre must open at 7 a.m.

Frequently asked questions — Paris → Lyon

How long does a dedicated-vehicle delivery from Paris to Lyon take?
About 5 h 20 of direct driving for 466 kilometres, with no logistics stops. Adding departure within 30 to 60 minutes, allow 6 hours between your call and handover in Lyon. Leaving at 20:00 means delivery around 01:20, in time for an overnight maintenance window.
What does an urgent Paris-Lyon delivery cost?
The indicative price is €1,227 one way, calculated on the taxi kilometre rate of €2.63/km over 466 kilometres. There is no fixed price: the approved taximeter prevails during the journey. A same-day return trip can be simulated in the calculator above.
Is it faster than the high-speed train plus a courier on arrival?
The train takes two hours Paris–Lyon, but add the trip to the station, the wait for departure, then a Lyon courier for the last mile: 5 to 7 hours door to door in practice, and only during running hours. A dedicated vehicle leaves when you decide and delivers to the exact address, including at 3 a.m.
Do you deliver at night and on Sundays in Lyon?
Yes, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The most requested slot on this corridor is a Paris departure between 20:00 and 23:00, for a Lyon delivery before sites open the next morning. The prefecture night or Sunday surcharge applies on the meter.
Which parts of Lyon do you serve?
All of them: Part-Dieu, Presqu'île, Confluence, Gerland, Villeurbanne, Croix-Rousse, plus the industrial outskirts — Vénissieux, Saint-Priest, Corbas, Genas — and the chemical valley. We also deliver to Saint-Exupéry airport and the Eurexpo exhibition centre.
Do you run the route the other way, Lyon to Paris?
Yes, the corridor is operated in both directions at the same kilometre rate. We collect in Lyon and deliver in Île-de-France, in particular to the Roissy CDG cargo areas, La Défense and Paris hospitals. Just give us the Lyon collection address.
What do you carry on Paris-Lyon?
Mainly industrial and data centre parts, pharmaceutical products and medical equipment, legal documents, samples and fine food. Each family has its own page with its specific constraints, listed below.
Is there any stop or transhipment along the way?
None. The goods stay in the vehicle from loading to handover. The driver serves no other client on the route, passes through no platform and entrusts the parcel to nobody. That is what separates a dedicated vehicle from an express parcel shipment.
Can you deliver to several Lyon addresses on the same job?
Yes. One job can chain two or three handovers across the metropolitan area, for example a site in Vénissieux then a firm at La Part-Dieu. The extra kilometres are added to the calculation and each handover gets its own photo proof.
How am I kept informed during the journey?
You receive the driver's direct number at departure, their GPS position on request during the run, then a time-stamped, geolocated photo of the handover with the recipient's name. No call centre between you and them.
What if nobody can receive it on arrival?
The driver calls you before arriving. Depending on your instruction, they wait on site at the prefecture hourly rate, hand the goods to a person you designate, leave them at a secure reception or return with them. Nothing is ever left without your approval, and the return trip is only invoiced if it takes place.

What a taxi carries — and what it does not

We are a prefecture-licensed taxi service, not a freight company. Saying so plainly saves you a pointless call, and saves us accepting a job we could not honour.

✅ What we take

  • Documents, original deeds, data media
  • Parcels and cases that can be handled without lifting equipment
  • Flight cases, trunks, garment bags on hangers, jewellery boxes
  • Suitcases and luggage — up to six to eight pieces
  • Sealed insulated boxes supplied by the sender
  • Parts and cartons up to about 1.80 m long

❌ What belongs with a carrier

  • Full pallets and shrink-wrapped goods
  • Machines, engines, bulky furniture
  • Anything requiring a tail lift, pallet truck or forklift
  • Dangerous goods falling under ADR
  • House moves, even partial ones
  • Shipments requiring a goods transport licence

If your need falls outside this scope we tell you on the first call and point you to a suitable carrier. A taxi that costs you half a day is not doing you a favour.

An urgent delivery to arrange right now?

One call is enough to start the job. We drive 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere in France and Europe — no transfer of goods, no sorting hub, no deposit.
