Route facts

The route: Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof

The airport to Frankfurt's main station is about 17 kilometres, which we allow roughly 19 minutes for. North on the A5, into town at the Frankfurter Westkreuz, then along Mainzer Landstraße into the station quarter – that is the whole route.

Late afternoons the inbound arteries can back up, and then we cut through the Gallus or the Gutleutviertel instead. Either way the car covers the final metres to your address, however tight the one-way streets get.

Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport

Your driver stands in the arrivals hall with a name sign – Terminal 1 in hall A, B or C, or Terminal 3, depending on where you land. No walk to the rank, no queue.

We watch the flight number and shift the pickup to the real landing time. After a long-haul flight and a time change, a driver holding your name is the simplest form of orientation there is.

Arriving at the Hauptbahnhof

We stop at your actual destination: a hotel on Düsseldorfer Straße, Moselstraße or Wiesenhüttenstraße, an office on Mainzer Landstraße, or the forecourt in front of the train shed if you have a connecting service. The driver unloads and you walk ten paces, not three hundred.

If you are continuing by ICE towards Cologne, Munich or Hamburg, you save exactly the minutes that usually disappear between the regional station, the change and finding the right platform.

Arriving in the station quarter

The 1888 Hauptbahnhof is Frankfurt's front door: a terminus with more than twenty platforms under a listed roof structure, fronted by a square from which Kaiserstraße runs straight to the centre. The densest concentration of hotels in the city sits within a few blocks.

The district itself is loud, international and steadily changing – restaurants from everywhere, ornate old apartment houses, new office towers. The banking quarter starts behind the Taunusanlage, the exhibition grounds and Europaviertel lie the other way, and across the river are the Museumsufer and Sachsenhausen.

Notes for your arrival

Tell us which exit or which street you want to be dropped at – the area is a web of one-way streets and roadworks, and the north exit is a long way from the south exit. With a house number the driver gets it right first time.

For night arrivals the transfer earns its keep: the car takes you to the hotel door instead of leaving you to cross the station forecourt with luggage in the small hours.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt am Main (15 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 Hauptbahnhof?

A taxi from the terminal drives the same roads, but the fare only takes shape en route and grows with every minute stuck on Mainzer Landstraße. The S8 and S9 need barely a quarter of an hour from the regional station and are extremely practical with light luggage, though they involve walking inside the terminal, lifts, and the climb up from the underground platforms at the Hauptbahnhof. A rental car for 17 kilometres mostly buys you a parking problem in the station quarter. With a fixed-price transfer the driver meets you with a sign, the amount is settled beforehand, and you step out at your hotel door.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof takes about 19 minutes for 17 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 Hauptbahnhof?

The fixed price for the 17 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 Hauptbahnhof.

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.
