Converted van hire in Lyon

The converted van (Fiat Ducato, Adria Twin, Pössl…) is the sweet spot in Lyon: barely bulkier than a campervan, it adds real standing height, a wet room with shower and a permanent bed in the back. It is the favourite of couples on long trips — self-sufficient, discreet and parkable on a space and a half.

Converted van routes out of Lyon

Northwards, the Pierres Dorées road and the D306 climb through the Beaujolais between Oingt and the Fleurie crus in under an hour. The A7 drops down the Rhône valley past Vienne and the Côte-Rôtie vineyards, while the A43 puts the pre-Alps — the Chartreuse and the Bauges massif — about an hour away. One thing to know before setting off: the Lyon low-emission zone applies 24/7, to parking as well as driving, and bans Crit’Air 3 and above. It does not, however, affect a recent rental vehicle, rated Crit’Air 2.

When to rent a converted van in Lyon

Hot city summers and a Rhône valley that jams on July and August Saturdays: set off early. May-June and September-October are superb, between the vineyards and the first snow-free Alpine passes. In early December, the Fête des Lumières fills hotels and campsites for miles around — book ahead, or shift your dates by a week.
