Travel tips for both directions
Leaving Ankum, aim to arrive at the terminal around 6.5 hours ahead of departure; allow more for intercontinental flights. For night departures and connecting flights, an extra time buffer pays off.
For the onward drive to Ankum there is nothing to arrange after landing — the driver waits, even if baggage reclaim or passport control run long. Stops or errands on the way can be agreed with the driver in advance.

Transfer, taxi or train from Ankum?
From Ankum you can choose transfer, taxi, train or rental car. The fixed-price transfer takes the same 229 minutes as a taxi, but you pay a price known in advance rather than a meter.

When to set off from Ankum
For the 368 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 229 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 45 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Ankum about 6 h 34 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 7 h 34 min.
You do not have to do that arithmetic yourself. Enter your departure time and address and the booking form proposes the pickup time — driving time, buffer and terminal lead are already inside it. If you would rather leave earlier, overwrite the suggestion.
In the other direction the arithmetic disappears anyway: for an airport pickup the time hangs on your flight number, not the clock. Your driver tracks the actual landing, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown are included.
What the price covers on this route
The fixed price for Ankum – Frankfurt Airport covers all 368 km, plus tolls and road charges en route, the airport access and short-stay parking at pickup. What you pay is settled before you book — there is no meter and no surcharge that only appears as you get out.
The price is independent of the clock as well. The same route costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon, the same on public holidays as on working days, and there is no demand surcharge during trade fairs. The only things that move it are ones you choose: a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class, or the return leg.
Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation; our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. Pets travel when the species and size are noted at booking, and guide and assistance dogs with no notice and no surcharge.

How much is a transfer from Ankum to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 368 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.
What does the fixed price include?
It covers the 368 km drive, tolls and road charges en route, airport fees, and 15 minutes of waiting at the pickup address in Ankum. The price only moves for things you choose yourself — a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class or a return leg — and each is shown in the form before you confirm.
Does the ride cost more at night or on public holidays?
The fixed price applies whatever the clock says: Ankum – Frankfurt Airport costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon. There is no night, weekend or holiday surcharge, and no demand pricing during trade fairs. Booking and driving run 24/7.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The sedan classes take 4 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 12 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 Ankum. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Ankum.
Transfer or train from Ankum?
The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 368 km in about 229 minutes with no changes and ends at your address rather than a station; travelling alone with hand luggage and a good connection, the train is often the better call.
Can I travel with a dog or a cat?
Pets are welcome. State the species and size when booking so the right vehicle class is dispatched for Ankum — small animals travel in a carrier in the footwell, larger dogs in the load area of a van. Guide dogs and assistance dogs travel in every vehicle, with no advance notice and no surcharge.
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.
Can I book this transfer for someone else?
The booking runs in the passenger's name rather than the payer's — your guest, client or family member is collected at the given address in Ankum. Payment and the receipt stay with you. Add the passenger's flight number and mobile so flight tracking and contact both work.
Who is the service for?
Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation. Our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly: couples, families of every shape, women travelling alone and guests who need assistance are driven with exactly the same matter-of-factness as anyone else. Discretion is part of a chauffeur service in any case.
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 Ankum 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Ankum take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Ankum takes about 229 minutes for 368 km in normal traffic. That is measured from the meeting point inside the terminal, not from touchdown.
Where does my driver meet me at Terminal 1 or 3?
The meeting point is the arrivals hall of your terminal — your driver stands just beyond the customs exit holding a name sign and walks you to the vehicle. The terminal follows from the flight number you give when booking, and a diversion to 1 or 3 still gets you found.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup is linked to your flight number and shifts automatically with the actual landing time — at no extra charge. 60 minutes of waiting are included after touchdown so baggage reclaim and passport control are covered.
How much is a transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Ankum?
The fixed price for the 368 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.
