The route from Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf
Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf is around 215 kilometres, which we cover in about two hours and twenty minutes when the roads are clear. From the terminal you take the A3 north, past Limburg an der Lahn, via Bonn and the Cologne interchange, then the A46 into Düsseldorf.
The A3 is heavily used around Cologne. Your driver watches the traffic and takes the quicker route when needed, so you reach Düsseldorf without an unnecessary stop.
Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport
After landing, your driver waits for you with a name sign in the arrivals hall, at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on your airline. You are met in person rather than having to find a connection. For the arrival in Düsseldorf this is how it is set up.
If your flight is delayed, the driver follows the actual arrival time and is there. He takes your luggage and walks you to the vehicle. The same applies on the Düsseldorf ↔ Frankfurt Airport route.
Arriving in Düsseldorf
Your driver takes you straight to your address in Düsseldorf, whether a hotel on the Königsallee, a company near the trade-fair grounds or an apartment in Oberkassel. We also reach neighbouring places such as Neuss or Meerbusch without a detour surcharge.
That way you end up exactly where you want to be, with no change at the main station and no wait for a connecting ticket.
About Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf on the Rhine, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is known for fashion and trade fairs, with the Königsallee, the Medienhafen and an old town billed as the longest bar in the world. The city is home to Germany's largest Japanese community.
Those arriving here often return from a long-haul trip via the Frankfurt hub, which offers a larger intercontinental network than the local airport. The Rhine promenade, the art collections and the major trade fairs are among its best-known draws.

Transfer, taxi or train from Düsseldorf?
The ICE runs quickly from Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf, but after landing you would first have to reach the long-distance station and change with your luggage, whereas the transfer brings you straight to your door. Compared with a taxi you know the fixed price when you book, and a rental car rarely pays off for a one-way trip, since you would have to reach the desk after your flight and find parking in Düsseldorf.

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf takes about 142 minutes for 215 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 Düsseldorf?
The fixed price for the 215 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 waits for you at the terminal with a name sign. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Düsseldorf.
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.
