The route: Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport
Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport is about 28 kilometres, for which we allow roughly 24 minutes. From the Bad Homburger Kreuz we run south on the A661, then join the A5 past Frankfurt as far as the Frankfurter Kreuz and the airport exit.
The drive starts on the edge of the Taunus hills and finishes on the flat Rhine-Main plain – two landscapes in a little over twenty minutes. In commuter traffic the stretch between the Nordwestkreuz and the Frankfurter Kreuz is the only genuine brake.
Pickup in Bad Homburg
Your driver comes to your address, whether that is the centre around Louisenstraße, Gonzenheim, Ober-Eschbach, Kirdorf or Dornholzhausen. We serve the spa hotels near the Kurpark and the offices of the companies based here just as routinely.
He arrives a few minutes early and helps with the bags. For business travellers on an early flight, that means a predictable departure rather than hunting for a cab in the Hochtaunus district at five in the morning.
Arriving at the terminal
We set you down on the departures level at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, according to your airline. The luggage comes out and you walk straight to check-in.
With a drive of around 24 minutes you can tie the pickup closely to your schedule – but be generous with security time at Frankfurt, particularly on Monday mornings when half the region flies out at once.
Bad Homburg: a spa town at the foot of the Taunus
Bad Homburg vor der Höhe is the seat of the Hochtaunuskreis district and one of Germany's most elegant spa towns. Its broad Kurpark contains a Russian chapel and a Siamese temple, gifts from illustrious spa guests, while the casino founded in 1841 was the model for Monte Carlo – which is why the town is nicknamed the mother of Monte Carlo.
Above the streets stands the palace with its medieval White Tower, and higher up in the Taunus lies the Saalburg, a reconstructed Roman fort on the UNESCO-listed Limes frontier. Commercially the town is known as the headquarters of major companies, so a good share of travellers leave from here on business; Oberursel, Friedrichsdorf and Kronberg are the neighbours.
Tips for the run down from the Taunus
In winter the hills ice over well before the plain does, and we allow extra time accordingly. For flights before eight it is worth being collected while it is still dark, ahead of the A661 filling up.
If you would like to add a stop in Oberursel, Friedrichsdorf or Kronberg, mention it when booking. Those Hochtaunus addresses slot neatly into the route.

Transfer, taxi or train from Bad Homburg?
A taxi from Bad Homburg drives the same A661 and A5, but the meter runs, and the morning queue at the Nordwestkreuz shows up in the total. By train you need at least one change, usually via Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, with luggage hauled through two stations. Hiring a car only makes sense if you needed one anyway; otherwise you pay to park at the terminal and lose time on the return. A fixed-price transfer collects you outside your door in the Hochtaunus district, the amount is agreed beforehand, and you next get out at the departures kerb.

How long does the transfer from Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport takes about 24 minutes for 28 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Bad Homburg for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Bad Homburg about 2 h 39 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 3 h 39 min for long-haul. That is 24 minutes of driving, 15 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 Bad Homburg to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 28 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 Bad Homburg. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Bad Homburg.
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 Bad Homburg 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
