How long does the transfer from Mainleus to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Mainleus to Frankfurt Airport takes about 176 minutes for 273 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 35 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Mainleus for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Mainleus about 5 h 31 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 31 min for long-haul. That is 176 minutes of driving, 35 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 Mainleus to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 273 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 Mainleus. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Mainleus.
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 Mainleus 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Mainleus takes about 176 minutes for 273 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?

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.
