The route: Berlin to Frankfurt Airport
Berlin lies 562 kilometres from Frankfurt Airport, a drive we plan at roughly five hours and 45 minutes. The car leaves the city on the A 115 and the Berliner Ring, passes Potsdam, then runs west on the A 2 before turning south onto the A 39 and the A 7.
Beyond Braunschweig and Kassel the route picks up the A 49 and finally the A 5, which ends at the airport exit itself. No borders, no changes, no connections to miss - the only real variables are roadworks on the A 2 and rush hour around Kassel.
Pickup at your Berlin address
We collect you where you actually are: an apartment in Prenzlauer Berg, a hotel by the Tiergarten, an office in Friedrichshain, or the forecourt of Hauptbahnhof. Your driver calls ahead, waits at the door and loads the luggage himself.
Because the drive runs close to six hours, we set the pickup time backwards from your check-in deadline rather than from take-off. A three-in-the-morning departure to beat Berlin traffic carries no surcharge; the fixed price is settled when you book.
Arriving at the departure terminal
You are dropped at the departures level: Terminal 1 for Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners, Terminal 3 for a share of the leisure and low-cost carriers. Tell us the airline when you book and we drive to the right building.
From the kerb to the check-in desk is a short covered walk. After a long motorway night out of Berlin that is the tangible difference from the Fernbahnhof, where cases travel up escalators and across several levels.
About Berlin
With around 3.7 million residents Berlin is Germany's largest city, and it sprawls across an area you would need several western German cities to fill. Getting from the Tiergarten out to Köpenick takes longer than a trip between two separate towns elsewhere, which is why we ask for the exact street rather than just the district.
The reasons people book this run are as varied as the neighbourhoods: trade fairs and congresses by the Funkturm, embassy and ministry appointments in Mitte, concerts, family weekends in Prenzlauer Berg. We serve every address inside the S-Bahn ring and far beyond it.
Tips for the long haul
On a drive of this length a break belongs in the plan; drivers usually stop once at a service area between Kassel and Bad Hersfeld. Say so in advance if you would rather run straight through or need a second stop.
For very early flights, travelling overnight is normally the calmer option, since the A 2 carries some of the heaviest freight traffic in Germany during the day. Child seats, a van for six passengers with luggage or extra boot space can be requested when you book.

Transfer, taxi or train from Berlin?
Over 562 kilometres every alternative has a catch. A Berlin taxi runs on the meter, and no dispatcher will commit to a final figure for a cross-country run of this size. The ICE is genuinely quick on this corridor, but it means reaching Hauptbahnhof, lifting cases onto racks and trusting the timetable on the morning of an intercontinental flight. A rental car ties you to return desks, parking charges and driving yourself along the A 2 after a short night. With a fixed-price transfer you give one address, get in once and step out at the terminal.

How long does the transfer from Berlin to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Berlin to Frankfurt Airport takes about 346 minutes for 562 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 70 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Berlin for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Berlin about 8 h 56 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 9 h 56 min for long-haul. That is 346 minutes of driving, 70 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 Berlin to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 562 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 Berlin. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Berlin.
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 Berlin 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
