Lyonでレンタカーを借りるには何が必要ですか？
Lyonでのレンタカー利用はとても便利ですが、特に外国人の利用者には、いくつか特有の条件が設けられている場合があります。
- IDの形式: A valid physical France national photo ID is required for the main driver and any additional drivers.
- 運転免許証: The main driver and any additional drivers must present a full physical French driving licence with no major endorsements, held for at least 1 year. Photocopies or digital licences are not accepted.
- 受け入れられるカード: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required for payment and deposit. Most offers accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards; some also accept Diners Club, JCB or Discover. Many offers additionally accept Visa and MasterCard debit cards (and sometimes AMEX, Diners Club, JCB or Discover) for payment or deposit, but a credit card may still be required at pickup. Card acceptance (including any second card requirement) may vary by specific offer.
- 年齢要件: General driving age limits across offers range between 18–80 or up to 99 years, depending on the specific product. Some offers require a minimum age of 21 or 25, and a few cap the maximum age at 75. Young driver surcharges commonly apply: for ages 18–24 or 18–25, typical fees are described per day, for example about $38.51–$54.34 per day, sometimes capped for longer rentals (e.g., charged for a maximum of 10 days or with a fixed total cap for your rental). For offers with minimum age 21, young driver fees usually apply to 21–24 or 21–25 and are specified in EUR per day with or without tax. In some cases, both young (21–24) and senior (75–80) drivers may have fees “to be confirmed,” meaning the exact amount will be given at the counter. Always check the specific offer to confirm applicable age limits and surcharges.
- 運転免許証: The main driver and any additional drivers must present a full physical driving licence with no major endorsements, typically held for at least 1 year. Photocopies or scanned copies are not accepted. Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) (IDP is only a translation and must be presented together with the original driving licence)
or
• EU/EEA driving licence (valid across the EU/EEA, as well as in Switzerland and the United Kingdom). - IDの形式: A valid passport is required for the main driver and any additional drivers.
- 受け入れられるカード: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required for payment and deposit. Visa and MasterCard credit cards are widely accepted; many offers also accept American Express and some accept Diners Club, JCB or Discover. Some rentals additionally accept Visa and MasterCard debit cards (and in a few cases AMEX, JCB or Discover), but a credit card may still be mandatory at the counter. Card brand acceptance and whether a second card is needed depend on the specific offer, so check your voucher details.

Some offers require a minimum age of 21 or 25, and a few cap the maximum age at 75. Young driver surcharges commonly apply: for ages 18–24 or 18–25, typical fees are described per day, for example about $38.51–$54.34 per day, sometimes capped for longer rentals (e.g., charged for a maximum of 10 days or with a fixed total cap for your rental).

Wine Country Tour
Convertible
4
2
AutoSummer in Lyon means warm days perfect for cruising through Beaujolais and Côtes du Rhône wine regions. A convertible lets you soak in the scenic vineyard views with the top down. These gently rolling hills feature narrow country lanes where a nimble car excels. Manual transmission is standard in France, so reserve early if you need an automatic. Wine tasting rooms often have limited parking, making a compact convertible a smart choice for navigating small village streets.
Alpine Adventure
SUV
53AutoWinter trips to the French Alps from Lyon require serious capability. Snow, ice, and winding mountain roads demand an SUV with excellent traction and ground clearance. The A43 motorway climbs steeply into the Alps, and weather can shift rapidly at altitude. An SUV provides the safety margin you need for unpredictable Alpine conditions. Many ski resorts like Les Deux Alpes or Alpe d'Huez are reached via challenging mountain passes where SUV capability makes all the difference.
City Exploring
Small
52AutoLyon's old town (Vieux Lyon) features narrow Renaissance alleyways that challenge even experienced drivers. A small car turns tight corners and squeezes into compact spots where larger vehicles simply won't fit. Downtown parking costs premium rates, and tight garage spaces on medieval streets make economy cars essential. Summer brings heavy pedestrian traffic in traboules, so a nimble small car handles these bottlenecks better. Manual transmission is overwhelmingly common in Lyon, so book automatic early if preferred.

Why Pick Up at Lyon Airport (LYS)
Airport pickup is usually the easiest for flights and early departures, with the broadest selection of cars and longer operating hours. It can also be better for families (space for luggage) and travelers heading straight to highways toward the Alps or surrounding regions. Compare total cost carefully because airport surcharges can apply, but the convenience and availability—especially for automatics and larger vehicles—often outweigh the difference.

Car Rental Planning Tips for Driving Around Lyon
Bring the right documents: Carry your driver’s license, passport/ID, and a credit card in the main driver’s name. If your license isn’t EU-issued, consider an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a backup for checks.
Plan for toll roads (péage): Major routes like the A6/A7/A43 often include tolls. Keep a card handy, or choose “avoid tolls” in navigation if you prefer slower but scenic alternatives.
Know Lyon’s low-emission rules: Lyon has low-emission restrictions (ZFE) that can affect which vehicles can enter certain areas. If you plan to drive into central zones, ask for a compliant vehicle category.
Parking is easier with park-and-ride: Central Lyon parking can be tight and pricey. Consider parking on the outskirts (or in a secured garage) and using public transit to reach dense neighborhoods.
Fuel up strategically and use service-station apps: Prices are often higher on autoroute service areas than in towns. For long drives, refuel before entering the autoroute and watch for 24/7 automated pumps in smaller towns.
Understand insurance and deposits before you pick up: Confirm what’s included (CDW/theft, excess amount) and the security deposit hold on your card. If you’re adding extra coverage, make sure it clearly reduces the excess and is accepted at the counter.
Check mountain and winter driving requirements: If you’re heading to Alpine areas (Annecy/Chamonix in winter), ask about winter tires or chains. Conditions can change quickly, and some roads require appropriate equipment.
