Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Saint-Fons?

Accepted Answer

The open road is calling your name, and Saint-Fons is a great base to kick-start your Lyon adventure. Located 5 miles from the downtown area, the first thing you'll need to pick up is the key to one of our superb rental vehicles. A full-size SUV will take you around Lyon in true comfort and style — or you might want to veer off the beaten path and discover hidden gems with a rugged four-wheel drive. If you want to easily zip around the city, we'd suggest going with a compact car. They might not be as roomy, but they'll be a dream when it comes to sliding into those narrow car spaces.
