Route facts

The route from FRA into central Frankfurt

From the airport back into central Frankfurt is only about 15 kilometres, doable in around 22 minutes. Depending on your address and traffic, the driver usually takes the B 43 or the short motorway link towards the city centre.

Because the destination lies in the same city, the time buffer is small; only the Frankfurter Kreuz and commuter traffic can briefly lengthen the trip. After a long flight you are at your door within minutes.

Meet & greet in the FRA arrivals hall

After landing, the driver meets you in person in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, holding a name sign so you spot him at once. Your arrival terminal and flight number are on file, so the driver waits if you are delayed.

In Frankfurt in particular, where connecting passengers and direct flights land from many countries, a name sign in the often-busy hall is a real relief. The driver helps with your luggage and leads you straight to the waiting vehicle.

Arriving at your Frankfurt address

The driver takes you without detour straight to your address, be it a hotel in the banking quarter, a flat in Sachsenhausen or a company in Eschborn. Over just 15 kilometres you reach your destination faster than the wait for the S-Bahn often takes.

Suburbs such as Neu-Isenburg, Offenbach am Main or Bad Vilbel are served directly too. You step out without a single change or another round of hauling cases.

Frankfurt am Main – banking city on the river

Landing in Frankfurt brings you into Germany's financial capital: a high-rise skyline, the ECB and the stock exchange define the image that earned the city the name "Mainhattan". Alongside that, the rebuilt Altstadt around the Römer and the Museumsufer along the Main draw visitors.

As a river-cruise port, Frankfurt is often the first stop of a Main or Rhine voyage, and the trade fair draws business travellers year-round. A direct transfer takes you without detour from touchdown to ship, hotel or exhibition stand.

Travel tips for arriving in Frankfurt

After landing, look out for the name sign in the arrivals hall; with connecting flights, passport control in Frankfurt can take a while, so the driver keeps an eye on your flight. Give your exact destination address and he drives right to the door.

At rush hour a little patience around the Frankfurter Kreuz pays off, while the route itself stays short. For travellers joining a Main river cruise, the direct ride to the berth is especially handy because luggage is never transferred.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Messe Frankfurt (16 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 Frankfurt am Main?

From FRA into central Frankfurt the S-Bahn also runs in minutes, but with luggage it means platform changes and finding the right exit at the destination station. A taxi is right there but runs on the meter, including city-traffic jams, whereas the transfer knows the fixed price before you even land. A rental car rarely pays off over this short distance, since the desk, paperwork and later parking hunt cost more time than the drive itself.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt am Main take?

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt am Main takes about 22 minutes for 15 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 Frankfurt am Main?

The fixed price for the 15 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 Frankfurt am Main.

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.
