From Frankfurt Airport to the Deutsches Eck
Around 115 kilometres and roughly 77 minutes separate Frankfurt Airport from the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz. The A 3 carries you past Limburg an der Lahn and over the Westerwald, after which the A 48 drops down into the Rhine valley.
The last stage runs through Koblenz to the mouth of the Moselle. First-time visitors usually spot the equestrian monument and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress on the opposite heights while still on the bridge.
Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport
Your driver stands in the arrivals hall of your terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, with a name sign and takes charge of the luggage. No phone call, no searching for a pickup zone.
The flight number tells us when you actually land, and the meeting is set around that. For guests with an embarkation slot in Koblenz, that is precisely the difference between relaxed and rushed.
Arriving at the Deutsches Eck
We take you as close to the Deutsches Eck as traffic rules allow – the approach on the Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer, the river-cruise landing stages, or your hotel in the old town.
For a cruise, please give the ship's name and berth, as the moorings are spread over several hundred metres of quay. Nearby destinations such as Ehrenbreitstein, Urbar or Vallendar can be served on the same run.
What to expect at the Deutsches Eck
At the Deutsches Eck the Moselle meets the Rhine; this headland is the birthplace of Koblenz, whose name derives from the Latin Confluentes. On the point stands the great equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I from 1897, re-erected in 1993 after wartime destruction.
Around it lie the riverside gardens, the Basilica of St Castor and the Deutschherrenhaus, named for the Teutonic Order that gave the corner its name. The cable car crosses from here to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, and upstream begins the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
Tips for your arrival
On event days and during Rhine high water the embankment approaches are restricted; the driver then stops at the nearest permitted point and helps with the bags as far as the berth or hotel.
If the Deutsches Eck is only the starting point of a Rhine itinerary, the drive can continue to Boppard, Rhens or Lahnstein – best arranged at the time of booking.

Transfer, taxi or train from Deutsches Eck?
An airport taxi will make the trip to Koblenz too, but the meter decides the amount, whereas this transfer settles it in advance – the calmer choice after a long-haul flight. The train leaves you at Koblenz Hauptbahnhof at best, still a good kilometre from the riverbank with your luggage. A rental car is impractical for a stay at the Deutsches Eck, since the embankment offers almost no parking and the car would sit unused for the whole of a Rhine cruise.

When to set off from Deutsches Eck
For the 115 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 77 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Deutsches Eck about 3 h 32 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 4 h 32 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 Deutsches Eck – Frankfurt Airport covers all 115 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.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Deutsches Eck take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Deutsches Eck takes about 77 minutes for 115 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 Deutsches Eck?
The fixed price for the 115 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 115 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: Deutsches Eck – 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 Deutsches Eck.
Transfer or train from Deutsches Eck?
The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 115 km in about 77 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 Deutsches Eck — 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.
