The route from Biel/Bienne to Frankfurt Airport
From Biel/Bienne to Frankfurt Airport is around 413 kilometres, a drive we plan at roughly four hours and twenty minutes. From the foot of the Jura the route runs via the A1 and A2 to Basel, where we leave Switzerland, then north on the German A5 past Freiburg im Breisgau and Karlsruhe into the Rhine-Main region.
Because the journey crosses the Swiss-German border near Basel, the vehicle carries the compulsory Swiss motorway vignette, so that is one thing you never need to arrange.
Pick-up at your Biel address
You are collected directly at your address in Biel or in neighbouring places such as Nidau, Brügg or Bellmund. The driver is ready at the agreed time, loads your luggage and takes you to the terminal with no changes along the way.
As the Swiss border and the long drive both take time, we set the pick-up comfortably ahead of your departure.
Arriving at the departure terminal
At Frankfurt Airport the driver drops you right in front of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline. That spares you the walk from the car park and the change from the long-distance rail station, leaving you at check-in with your bags in hand.
Biel/Bienne – a bilingual watchmaking city on the lake
Biel/Bienne is the largest officially bilingual city in Switzerland, where German and French stand on equal footing – the double name gives it away. Set on the north-eastern shore of Lake Biel, the town is regarded as the capital of Swiss watchmaking; names such as Omega and the headquarters of the Swatch Group define the place.
Sitting at the foot of the Jura, Biel is also a starting point for trips to St. Peter's Island and the vineyards along the lakeshore.
Travel tips for this route
For a drive of about four hours, keep a valid passport or ID card within reach, as the border between Switzerland and Germany may be checked.
For onward international flights it pays to allow a generous buffer – the usual travel time via Basel and the A5 is already built into our pick-up planning.

Transfer, taxi or train from Biel/Bienne?
Against the train or a taxi, the fixed-price transfer wins on this long route mainly through the single, uninterrupted ride: instead of changing in Basel or Frankfurt, you stay in the same car from your Biel doorstep to the terminal. A rental car would mean a costly cross-border one-way hire plus parking, and an ordinary taxi offers no price agreed in advance – with the transfer the fixed fare is set before you book.

How much is a transfer from Biel/Bienne to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 413 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.
Do you drive across the border to Biel/Bienne?
Cross-border journeys are part of the standard service — Biel/Bienne is served at a fixed price exactly like German destinations, and we cover Germany plus 10 neighbouring countries in total. Tolls, road vignettes and border formalities are included in the price.
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 Biel/Bienne. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Biel/Bienne.
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 Biel/Bienne 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
