Lyon SUV Rentals

There are two types of street parking in Lyon that will suit SUVs. A more relevant option will be Presto Parking, which means short-term parking. This applies when looking for parking in the city centre itself. You'll likely be limited to 1 hour and charged. These parking spots are available from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 19:00. The other option is Tempo Parking, or medium-term parking. This is more relevant when you are parking outside of the city centre. The same operating hours apply, but you'll be allowed to park for up to 3 hours. These types of parking spaces are cheaper than Presto Parking.

Once you head out of the city centre and are off on your road trip, you'll be driving through flat countryside roads and then through hilly roads, which are ideal conditions for an SUV hire in Lyon. There are some things to keep in mind for this type of car. Most SUVs are 4-wheel drive, which is great for getting up hills, however, they don't slow down any faster than a regular car and are much bigger and heavier. This means when coming down the hill, you need to go much slower, apply breaks sooner and leave more following distance between cars.

One of the most unique road rules is the ‘priorite a droite’. This rule mostly affects you when driving on roads outside of city centres when approaching junctions. The rule is indicated by two different road signs: one that means you do have right of way and another that means you don't. This means that in some cases when a car is joining from the right into your road, they don't have to stop but you might have to. It can be a complicated one, so keep your eyes open.
