Discover the old town (Vieux Lyon): a visit to Lyon often begins with the Vieux Lyon, a medieval district of narrow streets, colorful houses and mysterious traboules. Stroll its cobbled streets, explore secret passageways and admire Renaissance architecture. Don't forget to sample Lyonnais specialties in one of the many bouchons, traditional restaurants where you can savor authentic local cuisine.
Visit the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière: perched on the Fourvière hill, the basilica offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Lyon. Inside, you'll be dazzled by the golden mosaics, colorful stained-glass windows and magnificent architecture. To get there, take the funicular to the top of the hill.
Explore the Croix-Rousse district: the Croix-Rousse is an artistic and bohemian district of Lyon, famous for its role in the history of silk. You can visit the Musée de la Soie to learn more about this historic industry. The district is also famous for its traboules, spiral staircases and murals.

Frequently asked questions

When to rent a car?

With Turo, you can rent a car all year round at prices that don’t change as much as those charged by a car rental agency. However, it's always a good idea to plan ahead for busy rental periods such as vacations and bank holidays.

Why is there a deposit when I rent a car?

At Turo, only certain categories require a deposit. Vehicles in the "Deluxe Class" category require a deposit of €400, while "Super Deluxe Class" vehicles require a deposit of €600. These amounts are used to cover any additional costs, such as extra kilometers.

Where can I rent a car?

With Turo, you can rent a car from home and pick it up in France, the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. Unlike agencies, pick-up locations are not packed in major cities, train stations or airports, but are available everywhere. Whether you're in an urban or rural area, you'll find a vehicle close by.

How do I rent a luxury car?

Getting a luxury car on Turo is easy. Filter the available vehicles in your area to see only the luxury cars available nearby. Please note that you must have held a driver's license for more than 7 years to rent most vehicles in the "Deluxe Class" and "Super Deluxe Class" ranges.

How much does a car rental cost?

Turo offers a very wide range of vehicles in all categories and at all prices, from €20 per day to suit many budgets.

How can I get discounts on my rental?

There are two ways to obtain discounts on your rental. You can spot discounts offered by certain hosts for early bookings at least one week before the start of your trip. You can also get a discount for longer trips, starting from 3 consecutive days.

Can I have my rental car delivered?

On Turo, vehicle delivery is possible. Many vehicles are available for delivery to train stations or airports, and you can also filter the vehicles offering delivery to a specific address. Delivery includes pick-up and return of the vehicle. Depending on the situation, additional charges may apply.

What's the difference between OuiCar and Turo?

Turo, the world's largest car-sharing platform, has acquired OuiCar, the French pioneer in car sharing. OuiCar has become Turo France. The service remains fundamentally the same: hosts (called "owners" on OuiCar) offer their cars to guests (called "renters" on OuiCar) across France via the platform, which covers all trips (previously called "rentals"). But Turo France now offers a wider range of vehicles, greater flexibility of coverage, and has adopted Turo's standards of excellence in quality and customer service.
