Route facts

The route from Aalen to Frankfurt Airport

Aalen lies about 269 kilometres from Frankfurt Airport, just under three hours of driving. From the Ostalb the car heads north via Ellwangen an der Jagst to join the A 7.

Near Würzburg the route transfers to the A 3, which follows the Main valley past Wertheim and crosses the Spessart towards Rhine-Main. Unlike routes that run via Stuttgart, this one avoids the climbs of the A 8 altogether.

Pickup at your Aalen address

The driver collects you wherever suits: the town centre near the market square, Wasseralfingen, Unterkochen or Hofherrnweiler, or a company address on the industrial estates towards Essingen. You receive the driver's name and registration beforehand.

Because the Ostalb sits considerably higher than the Rhine-Main plain, we allow extra minutes in winter for the first stretch down to the motorway. Once the luggage is stowed, the drive runs through to the terminal without a change.

Arriving at the departure terminal

At Frankfurt Airport the car stops on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline. The driver unloads your bags and points out the shortest way to your check-in desks.

For travellers from the Ostalb, Frankfurt is usually the alternative to Stuttgart when it comes to intercontinental flights. The advantage does not stop at the timetable: you step out at the kerb rather than in a multi-storey car park.

Aalen – the largest town in the Ostalbkreis

Aalen stands on the river Kocher at the northern rim of the Swabian Alb and, with roughly 68,000 residents, is the largest town in the Ostalbkreis. The Romans kept their biggest cavalry fort north of the Alps here, and the Limesmuseum on the original site forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper German-Raetian Limes.

The regional economy leans heavily on optics, precision engineering and machine building: Carl Zeiss is based in neighbouring Oberkochen, and Aalen University supplies the engineers. That is why so many passengers on this route are travelling on business.

Notes for the drive across the Alb

The first kilometres from Aalen to the A 7 run on country roads through Ellwangen; in fog or snow on the Ostalb this is the slowest part of the trip, and we cost it generously. After that come two fast motorway sections.

For early departures, expect a pickup before sunrise; we drive at any hour. Give your flight number and terminal at booking and the Frankfurt drop-off point is settled in advance too.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Oberkochen (271 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Aalen?

A taxi from Aalen runs the 269 kilometres to Frankfurt on the meter, and the return trip up to the Ostalb ends up in the passenger's total as well. Rail starts on the Rems valley line or via Ellwangen, adds a change into long-distance services at Stuttgart or Nuremberg, and finishes with the walk from Frankfurt's long-distance station into the terminal, often with no early enough first connection for a dawn flight. A rental car means three hours of driving yourself plus a return in the airport car park. The fixed-price transfer collects you at your Aalen address, runs straight through to the departures level and stays at the amount confirmed at booking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Aalen to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Aalen to Frankfurt Airport takes about 175 minutes for 269 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 35 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Aalen for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Aalen about 5 h 30 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 30 min for long-haul. That is 175 minutes of driving, 35 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.

How much is a transfer from Aalen to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 269 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?

The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.

Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?

This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Aalen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Aalen.

Can I pay the driver by card?

Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.

Can I travel with an infant or child seat?

A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.

How does free cancellation work?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Aalen 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
