The route from Frankfurt Airport to Colombes
Frankfurt Airport to Colombes covers about 578 kilometres and roughly six hours of driving. Leaving the terminal the car takes the A 3, then the A 67, A 60 and A 63 southwest to the border at Saarbrücken.
In France the A 320 feeds the A 4, which runs via Metz and Reims into the eastern Île-de-France. After Marne-la-Vallée the driver bypasses central Paris on the A 86 and comes into Colombes from the north. Tolls on the French sections are included in the fixed price.
Meet and greet in arrivals
Your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign, in Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on where you land. We hold your flight details, so an early or delayed landing adjusts the waiting time automatically.
He takes your luggage and walks you to the car in the multi-storey directly in front of the hall. From there the leg to Colombes begins with no counters, no platform changes and no hunting for the right track.
Arriving in Colombes
We take you to the exact address you name in Colombes: a flat in the centre, a hotel, an office, or a house in the quieter streets towards Bois-Colombes. The driver carries the bags as far as the entrance.
Add notes when booking — gate code, inner courtyard, roadworks in your street. In the dense blocks of Petit-Colombes the right stopping place otherwise turns into two extra laps around the neighbourhood.
Colombes: the Olympic suburb west of Paris
Colombes belongs to the Hauts-de-Seine department and lies inside a bend of the Seine northwest of Paris, home to around 82,000 people. The Stade Yves-du-Manoir staged the 1924 Olympic Games and the 1938 World Cup final, and hosted Olympic competition again in 2024.
Neighbouring Asnières-sur-Seine, Courbevoie, Bois-Colombes and La Garenne-Colombes merge almost seamlessly into it, and from Courbevoie the La Défense towers are only minutes away. Colombes itself is primarily a place to live and work, quieter than its famous stadium suggests.
Travel tips for arriving in Colombes
If your flight lands in the late afternoon, the final hour into Colombes meets the Paris evening rush on the A 86. Morning arrivals flow through noticeably better.
On a six-hour drive we plan breaks and agree them with you en route. Travelling with small children, tell us their ages and number so the child seats are already fitted in Frankfurt.

Transfer, taxi or train from Colombes?
The train from Frankfurt Airport reaches Paris briskly, but it deposits you at the Gare de l'Est and leaves an RER, Transilien or taxi leg to Colombes still to solve — a chain of changes with suitcases. A metered taxi over 578 kilometres is barely a realistic booking, and a rental car demands full concentration straight after a flight, plus tolls, fuel and parking in a tightly built suburb. The fixed-price transfer is a single ride from the arrivals hall to your front door, at a price agreed in advance.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Colombes take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Colombes takes about 366 minutes for 578 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 Colombes?
The fixed price for the 578 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 Colombes?
Cross-border journeys are part of the standard service — Colombes 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.
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 waits for you at the terminal with a name sign. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Colombes.
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.
