Points of interest with Lyon car rental
One highlight of the city is The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière. The Basilica is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is thought to have saved Lyon from the outbreak of The Bubonic Plague, and each year, residents in Lyon light candles to thank her on December 8th in what is called the Fête des Lumières or the Festival of Lights. It sits in a dominant position overlooking the city with its once-occupied site, which was a Roman Imperial Forum. Step into scenes from movies and everyday life at The Musée Cinéma et Miniature. The museum is inside a striking 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage building, the ‘Maison des Avocats.' Featuring costumes, props, and even animatronics from some of the biggest movies, as well as a collection of impressive miniature scenes from museum founder and artist Dan Ohlmann. The Ancient Theatre of Fourvière was a Roman Amphitheatre built by Emperor Tiberius. Asas were all such places in Roman times, and the theatre was used for entertainment. Theatrical plays were put on here, along with gladiator fights and other public events like public executions. Renting a car with Auto Europe is the perfect way to enhance your trip - allowing you to see and do more than you thought possible with the freedom a rental car provides.

Lyon car rental FAQ
You can find more questions about renting a car in France with Auto Europe and more comprehensive information about driving regulations in France.
How old do you need to be to rent a car in Lyon?
To rent a car in Lyon, you must be at least 21 years old and have held your license for at least one year. Specific car categories or luxury vehicles may have restrictions and require drivers to be at least 25 years old. All drivers under 25 should check if a young driver surcharge is included in their rental rate.
Is rental car insurance required in Lyon?
Travelers picking up their rental car in Lyon should know that all drivers must carry unlimited third-party liability insurance. With Auto Europe, the cost is already included in our daily rental rates. This protects travelers from injury, death, and property damage to others while behind the wheel of their car. While some major credit cards offer cardholders car rental insurance, not all car rental suppliers will accept this.
Check with Auto Europe or your supplier before your trip to determine what coverage you need and where you will purchase it. Insurance purchased at the car rental counter can be more expensive than purchasing it at pick-up time. Learn more about required and optional rental car insurance in Lyon with Auto Europe.
Can I rent a car in Lyon without a credit card?
Travelers to Lyon who do not possess a credit card can still rent a vehicle through Auto Europe. If you want to rent a car with a debit card or some other form of payment, we recommend contacting our customer service team. If you do book a rental car with a debit card, be aware that when you pick-up your vehicle the rental company will need to charge your debit card enough to cover any damage done to the car, this money will be returned to your debit card after the car is returned in good condition.
