Route facts

From Frankfurt back to Biel/Bienne

After landing in Frankfurt we take you the roughly 413 kilometres to Biel/Bienne, a drive we plan at a good four hours. From the Rhine-Main region the A5 runs south past Karlsruhe and Freiburg to Basel, over the border into Switzerland and on via the A2 and A1 to the foot of the Jura.

The Swiss motorway vignette the route requires is already on the vehicle – you simply get in and are driven home without a stop.

Meet and greet with a name sign in Frankfurt

In the Frankfurt Airport arrivals hall the driver waits for you holding a name sign. He helps with your luggage and walks you to the car, so after the flight there is nothing left for you to organise.

If your flight is delayed, the pick-up simply shifts to the actual landing time.

Arriving at your address in Biel

At the end we bring you straight to your address in Biel, Nidau or Evilard – with no change at a station and no wait for a connecting taxi. Especially after a long journey, the ride ends exactly where you are heading.

Biel/Bienne – at the foot of the Jura

Biel sits on the shore of Lake Biel, where vineyard slopes run down to the water, at the foot of the Jura mountains. As a centre of Swiss watchmaking the city is home to major manufactures, and it lives its German-French bilingualism as an everyday matter of course.

The old town with its fountains and arcades, and the nearby St. Peter's Island, make Biel a rewarding destination for business travellers and holidaymakers alike.

Travel tips for your arrival

Keep your ID handy on the return leg too, as the Swiss border at Basel may be checked.

Give your exact Biel destination address when booking, so the driver can complete the last stretch through the bilingual city without detours.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Evilard (414 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 Biel/Bienne?

Landing in Frankfurt after a long flight, the fixed-price transfer saves you the double change that train and taxi would involve: no switch to the Basel-bound train, no wait for a Biel connecting cab. A rental car would run high thanks to the cross-border drop-off and the long night drive – the transfer takes you to your door at a fare fixed in advance.

Timing

When to set off from Biel/Bienne

For the 413 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 261 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 50 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Biel/Bienne about 7 h 11 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 8 h 11 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's included

What the price covers on this route

The fixed price for Biel/Bienne – Frankfurt Airport covers all 413 km, plus tolls and road charges en route, the airport access and short-stay parking at pickup, and the border crossing including a vignette where one is required. 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Biel/Bienne take?

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Biel/Bienne takes about 261 minutes for 413 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 Biel/Bienne?

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.

What does the fixed price include?

It covers the 413 km drive, tolls and road charges en route, airport fees, and 60 minutes of waiting from the landing time. 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: Biel/Bienne – 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 waits for you at the terminal with a name sign. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Biel/Bienne.

Transfer or train from Biel/Bienne?

The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 413 km in about 261 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 Biel/Bienne — 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 met at the terminal with a name sign. 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.
