Need a taxi in Villefranche-sur-Saône? Your private driver, 24/7.

When you look for a taxi in Villefranche-sur-Saône, what you mostly need is one thing: a reliable vehicle, on time, with a professional driver. VSS-Cab meets exactly this need, under the status of chauffeur-driven vehicle (VTC).

The difference lies in the booking and the price. A taxi can be hailed in the street and charges by the meter. A VTC is always booked in advance, by phone, WhatsApp or online, and the price is known before departure. No meter running in traffic jams, no unexpected extras: you know what you are paying.

• Advance booking, confirmed in writing
• Fixed price given before departure
• Professional driver holding the VTC licence
• Sedan or van, clean and comfortable

Villefranche is the gateway to the Beaujolais: golden-stone villages, ten crus, cellars and estates. For a visit to wine estates, lunch in a village or a wedding in a château, a chauffeur lets you enjoy the day to the full, without worrying about the road or drinking and driving. Your driver drops you off, waits for you if needed, and takes you home.

Businesses in Villefranche and the Beaujolais entrust us with their employees’ travel and their visitors’ reception: shuttles to the airport and stations, client meetings, seminars. We offer monthly invoicing with your references, and a single point of contact for all your bookings.

For a consultation, a test or a hospital stay in Villefranche, Gleizé or the Lyon hospitals, your driver takes you there, helps you if needed and can come back for you at the end of the appointment. Important: VSS-Cab is not medical transport approved by the French health insurance scheme; our journeys are not reimbursed as medical transport.

VSS-Cab is a brand of La Conciergerie I Carré, a passenger transport group whose head office is in Jassans-Riottier, just across the Saône from Villefranche. So we know the town and its surroundings better than anyone. The group also includes Transfert-Lyon and Trustline: this allows us to quickly mobilise additional vehicles, even for large requests, while keeping the service of a local business.

Here are the usual journey times from central Villefranche, outside rush hour. Your driver always adapts the departure time to current traffic.

• Central Lyon: 30 to 40 minutes
• Lyon Part-Dieu station: 35 to 45 minutes
• Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport: 45 minutes to 1 hour
• Mâcon: 35 to 45 minutes
• Bourg-en-Bresse: about 50 minutes
• Geneva: about 2 hours
• Alpine resorts: 2 h 30 to 3 h 30

A business meeting at Part-Dieu, an evening in Vieux-Lyon, a consultation at a Lyon hospital, a concert at the Halle Tony Garnier or a match at Groupama Stadium: we take you anywhere in Lyon and its metropolitan area. At rush hour, entering Lyon via the A6 and the Fourvière tunnel is often busy; our drivers know the alternative routes and allow a margin so that you arrive on time. On the way back, your driver waits for you at the exit or comes back at the agreed time.

From Villefranche and the Beaujolais, we also provide journeys to Geneva airport, the Alpine ski resorts (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Tignes, Les Arcs, Chamonix…) and all major French cities. For a family holiday departure, the van seats up to 8 passengers with their luggage and skis. The price is set before departure, tolls included: no unpleasant surprises on arrival.

The châteaux, estates and venues of the Beaujolais host many weddings every year. We organise transport for the couple and their guests: shuttles between the hotels, the church or town hall and the reception venue, and returns at the end of the evening so that everyone gets home safely. For village fêtes, local celebrations or birthdays, a van can carry a whole group, and several vehicles can travel together.

For older people or those who need a little more attention, our drivers take their time: help getting in and out of the vehicle, accompanying you to the door, handling luggage and shopping. Families can book for a loved one and receive confirmation of every journey. This service is ideal for appointments, family visits or outings, with complete peace of mind.

After a dinner, an evening with friends or a party, don’t take any risks behind the wheel. Book your ride home in advance, or call us: your driver takes you home, in Villefranche or the Beaujolais villages, even late at night. For a group of friends, the van can drop everyone at their own address.

Because we are from here. Our drivers live and work in the Beaujolais, know every village and every shortcut, and know that in Villefranche, punctuality matters as much as kindness. We do not subcontract your journeys to a platform: every ride is planned, tracked and confirmed by our team.

We chose VTC status to offer one simple thing: transparency. The price is set at booking, the driver is identified before departure, and you can reach us at any time. That is what makes the difference between a simple ride and a service you can count on.

Before booking, ask yourself a few simple questions: is the price known in advance? Does the driver track my flight or train? Can I book for early morning or late evening? Can the vehicle take my luggage, a pushchair or a child seat? With VSS-Cab, the answer is yes to every question. And if in doubt, call us: we will advise you on the most suitable vehicle and time.

A chauffeur is not just for special occasions. Our customers also call us for everyday journeys: getting to work when the car is at the garage, reaching the station for an early train, going to an administrative appointment, doing a big shop or visiting a relative. For regular journeys, for example every week at the same time, we can plan your bookings in advance and offer you the same driver whenever possible.

To the north, we serve the villages of the Beaujolais crus and the area around Saint-Georges-de-Reneins, Blacé, Salles-Arbuissonnas and Saint-Étienne-des-Oullières. To the west, the Golden Stones villages: Theizé, Oingt, Lachassagne, Ville-sur-Jarnioux, Cogny, Rivolet, Denicé, Montmelas. To the south, Anse, Lucenay, Quincieux and the Val de Saône. Across the Saône, in the Ain: Jassans-Riottier, Frans, Beauregard, Trévoux, Reyrieux, Fareins, Montmerle-sur-Saône, Francheleins, Messimy-sur-Saône and Ars-sur-Formans. In each of these villages, your driver picks you up at your door.

Many of these towns have little public transport, and taxis are rare, especially early in the morning or in the evening. Booking a driver in advance is often the simplest way to reach the station, the airport or an appointment.

Our drivers are professionals holding the VTC licence. They are trained in safety, customer welcome and discretion. Smart dress, smooth driving, help with luggage, punctuality: these are the basics of our service. They know the Beaujolais, Lyon and the Alpine roads, and adapt their route to traffic and weather.

You give us the departure address, the destination, the date, the time and the number of passengers. We reply with a fixed price and written confirmation. The day before or on the day, you receive your driver’s details. If your schedule changes or your flight is delayed, we adapt. Cancellation remains possible under the conditions set out in our terms and conditions.

Going on a family holiday from Villefranche often means juggling suitcases, children and timetables. With VSS-Cab, your driver arrives at your door, loads the luggage and fits the child seats you requested. The van seats up to 8 passengers with their suitcases, a pushchair or skis. On your return, they track your flight or train and wait for you on arrival, even if you are delayed. You start and end your holiday stress-free, without leaving your car in an airport car park for days.

It is also a practical way to welcome relatives from far away: your driver collects them at the airport or station with a name board and drops them straight at your home.

Throughout the year, the region attracts visitors to major events: the Villefranche conscripts’ festival, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau in November, the Lyon trade fairs at Eurexpo, the Festival of Lights in December, matches at Groupama Stadium or concerts at the Nuits de Fourvière. On those days, traffic and parking become complicated. Book your driver in advance: they drop you as close as possible and take you home at the time you choose.

Choosing VSS-Cab means choosing a local business that you can reach, that answers the phone and knows its customers. Many of them have entrusted us with their journeys for years: holiday departures, regular appointments, business trips. It is this trust that we want to earn on every ride, from Villefranche-sur-Saône to every village in the Beaujolais.

Prefer to book without calling? Our booking page lets you enter your journey, choose between a sedan and a van, and send your request in a few clicks, at any time. You then receive written confirmation of your ride. For a specific question, a complex journey or a group, our team remains reachable by phone, WhatsApp or email, and replies quickly.
