Route facts

The route from Frankfurt Airport to Erlangen

Frankfurt Airport to Erlangen runs about 219 kilometres, almost entirely on the A 3 towards Franconia. Via Wertheim, Würzburg and Höchstadt an der Aisch we reach the Nuremberg metropolitan region and Erlangen.

We plan a good two hours and 20 minutes. The fixed price stays the same even if the Spessart section is slow that day.

Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport

After you land, the driver is waiting with a name sign in the arrivals hall. There are no connecting trains to worry about and no walk to the station.

We track your flight, so the driver waits even if you are delayed or baggage reclaim runs long.

Arriving in Erlangen

In Erlangen the driver takes you straight to your destination – a hotel in the centre, one of the university or Siemens sites, or a suburb such as Bubenreuth or Uttenreuth. There is no changing over with your luggage.

For a business traveller heading to a congress, the direct ride to the address is the most comfortable way to finish.

Erlangen – a university and medical city

Erlangen combines a baroque old town, laid out by Huguenots, with one of Germany's most important centres for medical technology. The Friedrich-Alexander University and Siemens Healthineers define the city as much as the broad Schlossgarten park at its centre.

People arriving here often come for research, medical-technology meetings or study – or to enjoy the famous Bergkirchweih festival in early summer.

Tips for your arrival

Give your flight number so the driver knows your actual landing time and is ready on schedule, sparing you any wait after a long flight.

Because Erlangen is compact, the ride often reaches the centre without a detour; do give the exact address including the building or clinic.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Spardorf (217 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 Erlangen?

After landing, the fixed-price transfer to Erlangen is easier than a taxi, the train or a rental car: the driver waits with a name sign and the fare is fixed, whatever the A 3 traffic does. The train means a change via Nuremberg or Würzburg plus the trip from Erlangen station to your address, while a rental car has you driving yourself and hunting for parking in the centre. Instead you are taken straight to your Erlangen destination.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Erlangen take?

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Erlangen takes about 138 minutes for 219 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 Erlangen?

The fixed price for the 219 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 Erlangen.

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.
