Route facts

The route from Erlangen to Frankfurt Airport

Erlangen to Frankfurt Airport is about 219 kilometres, for which we plan a good two hours and 20 minutes. Almost the whole route runs on the A 3, which carries you from Franconia through the Spessart hills and the Main valley west to Frankfurt.

Past Höchstadt an der Aisch, Würzburg and Wertheim you reach eastern Frankfurt and the Frankfurter Kreuz, where the terminal slip road begins.

Pickup in Erlangen

The driver collects you directly at your Erlangen address – in the centre around the Schlossgarten, in the old town, or in a suburb such as Bruck or Tennenlohe. The large Siemens Healthineers and university sites also sit on the way to the A 3.

You board at the door at the agreed time, with no detour via Nuremberg or the railway station.

Arriving at the Frankfurt terminal

In Frankfurt the driver stops right at your departure terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline. From the drop-off it is only a few metres to check-in.

So the trip starts calmly, without carrying luggage through station concourses.

Erlangen – a university and medical city

Erlangen is shaped by the Friedrich-Alexander University and by Siemens Healthineers, which makes it the heart of the Medical Valley within the Nuremberg metropolitan region. Its baroque centre grew from a planned settlement of Huguenots in the 17th century, still visible in the straight streets and the Huguenot church.

In early summer the Bergkirchweih festival draws hundreds of thousands. People flying out of Erlangen are often travelling on business from medical technology and research, or heading to one of its congresses.

Travel tips for this trip

On the A 3 through the Spessart between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg, gradients and roadworks often cause slow traffic; we factor this into your pickup time.

For business travellers an early pickup is wise, so that even in dense traffic there is enough margin before boarding.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Spardorf (217 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 Erlangen?

The fixed-price transfer from Erlangen saves you, above all, the changes and uncertainty of a taxi, the train or a rental car: the fare is set at booking, whatever the Spessart traffic does. By train you usually go via Nuremberg or Würzburg with a change to the airport station, and a rental car adds terminal parking after more than 200 kilometres. The transfer takes you straight from your Erlangen address to your flight, with no detour through Nuremberg.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Erlangen to Frankfurt Airport takes about 138 minutes for 219 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Erlangen for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Erlangen about 4 h 48 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 5 h 48 min for long-haul. That is 138 minutes of driving, 30 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 Erlangen to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 219 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 Erlangen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Erlangen.

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