SEOUL → YEOSU
Seoul → Yeosu, step by step
Choose your intercity ticket first, then connect the arrival point to your hotel or rental car. These illustrated routes cover the journey down and the return.
A practical combination: KTX + a car collected in Yeosu
Travel by train, collect the pre-booked car near Yeosu Expo Station, and return it to that same booked branch before your train home. This avoids driving the Seoul–Yeosu leg.

Where exactly do I collect and return a car?
The following LOTTE branches are concrete examples from the operator’s official directory. Book the exact branch and follow its confirmation; other suppliers have their own meeting points.
Train arrival · LOTTE Yeosu EXPO Station branch
Yeosu Expo Station → about 6 min walk → the booked office
- Yeosu Expo Station
- About 6 min walk
- LOTTE · B102
Go to Shinseong Officetel, B102, 90 Deokchungan-gil, opposite Mandeok-dong Community Center. The operator publishes an approximately six-minute walk from the station exit; use its official map and your booking’s meeting instructions.
전남 여수시 덕충안길 90 신성오피스텔 B102호Published desk hours: 08:30–18:00 daily. Reconfirm for your collection/return date.
Flight arrival · LOTTE Yeosu Airport branch
- 1F · Arrivals
- LOTTE · Gate 2
- Gate 2 · car handover
1F Arrivals → LOTTE desk near Gate 2 → Gate 2 handover
The supplier locates its 1F counter left of Gate 2; the airport guide describes it opposite Arrivals. For LOTTE, the airport lists vehicle collection and return in front of Gate 2. Confirm the booked parking space with staff.
전남 여수시 율촌면 여순로 386 여수공항 내Published desk hours: 08:00–17:30 daily. Confirm your flight and handover times together.
Reserve pickup AND return before travel
Choose Mainland, the pickup branch, dates/times and return branch on the official rental site. For train/flight round trips, select the same Yeosu branch for both. Save the confirmation and show it at handover.
Bring the originals
For LOTTE: original passport, valid original International Driving Permit accepted by the operator, original home-country licence, and reservation reference. Bring a credit card in the lead driver’s name and check your booking channel’s payment and driver/vehicle eligibility rules.
Before driving away
Check authorised drivers, insurance/CDW excess and exclusions, fuel level, existing damage and toll settlement. Photograph the car and fuel gauge, then confirm the return location and contact number.
Return to booked branch
Refuel to the agreed collection level → park in the confirmed return area → hand over keys and complete the fuel/condition check → settle charges and continue to your train/flight. Leave time for handover and the terminal transfer.
Confirm any key-box or after-hours arrangement with the branch before relying on it. A published key-box time does not by itself confirm that your booking qualifies.
Official booking ↗After arrival · reach your hotel or first stop
From Yeosu Expo Station or Yeosu Bus Terminal, use the local bus/taxi connection for your hotel’s Korean address. At Yeosu Airport, the official guide places buses about 30 m right of arrival Gate 2 and taxis across the pedestrian crossing. Check the bus destination because services also run toward Suncheon.
