Route facts

The route: Hannover exhibition grounds to Frankfurt Airport

From the exhibition grounds in the south of Hanover to Frankfurt Airport is around 337 kilometres, for which we allow roughly 3 hours 25 minutes. The car leaves the site on the Messeschnellweg, the A 37, joins the A 7 and follows it south past Hildesheim, Northeim and Göttingen to Kassel.

From Kassel the A 49 and then the A 5 lead past Stadtallendorf and Gießen to the airport exit. At the end of a major fair it pays to depart either well before or well after the halls close, because the Messeschnellweg backs up sharply in between.

Pickup at the exhibition grounds

We collect you directly at the North, West or East entrance, whichever is closest to your stand. The driver calls as soon as he is in position, so you are not walking the perimeter looking for a car.

Pickups also work from your trade fair hotel in Hanover, Laatzen, Hemmingen or Pattensen, or from the Hauptbahnhof if you head back into town first.

Arriving at the departure terminal

The drive ends on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline. For international flights home after a fair week we build in extra margin, since check-in tends to take longer with bulky stand luggage.

The Hannover exhibition grounds

The Deutsche Messe site in the Mittelfeld district, on the boundary with Laatzen, is the largest exhibition ground in the world, and the Hermes Tower marks it from the motorway. HANNOVER MESSE, Agritechnica, LIGNA, EMO, Domotex and IAA Transportation all take place in these halls.

Right next door lies the former Expo 2000 site, whose Expo Plaza now houses universities and studios. First-time visitors routinely underestimate the distances between halls, which is why being dropped at the right entrance is worth more than the fastest motorway.

Tips for trade fair travellers

Tell us your hall and entrance when booking and the car will be on the side of the site that saves you the longest walk. For stand builders and teams with sample cases and equipment we recommend a van rather than a saloon.

During fair weeks hotel rooms around Hanover are scarce and many exhibitors stay in Hildesheim, Braunschweig or Celle. An intermediate stop on the way to the motorway can be noted in advance.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Hemmingen (346 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 Deutsche Messe Hannover?

After a week of sample cases and stand paperwork, the walk to the Hannover Messe/Laatzen station and a change at the Hauptbahnhof is the last thing anyone wants, and the ICE runs to its own timetable rather than to your closing time. A taxi over 337 kilometres works on the meter, which makes corporate expense claims unnecessarily vague, and a rental car means a one-way rate plus a return in a Frankfurt car park. A fixed-price transfer collects you at the entrance you choose, runs to the departures level without a change, and the amount is documented from the moment you book.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Deutsche Messe Hannover to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Deutsche Messe Hannover to Frankfurt Airport takes about 207 minutes for 337 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 40 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Deutsche Messe Hannover for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Deutsche Messe Hannover about 6 h 7 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 7 h 7 min for long-haul. That is 207 minutes of driving, 40 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 Deutsche Messe Hannover to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 337 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 Deutsche Messe Hannover. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Deutsche Messe Hannover.

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 Deutsche Messe Hannover 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
