The route: Frankfurt Airport to Frechen
From the airport the A 3 heads down the Rhine corridor via Limburg an der Lahn and the Westerwald towards Cologne, covering some 165 of the 192 kilometres on that single motorway.
At the Cologne ring the drive switches to the A 4 towards Aachen, and the Frechen exit arrives a few kilometres later. Reckon on a good two hours, more if you land into the Cologne rush hour.
Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport
Your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign. Because we watch the flight data, he is there whether you land early or spend an extra half hour at baggage reclaim.
After the handshake it is a short walk to the car, with no parking ticket, ticket machine or connecting train to worry about.
Arriving in Frechen
We take you to the door, whether that is the town centre, Königsdorf, Bachem, Grefrath or Habbelrath, as well as hotels, clinics and company addresses across the Rhein-Erft district.
Neighbouring Hürth, Pulheim, Kerpen, Brühl and the western districts of Cologne can be served on the same run when several people book together.
Frechen: a ceramics town beside Cologne
Frechen borders Cologne to the west and belongs to the Rhein-Erft district. Its reputation rests on pottery: Frechen stoneware, especially the bearded Bartmann jugs, was shipped abroad in quantity from the sixteenth century onwards.
The Keramion, an unmistakable round building, presents that heritage together with modern studio ceramics. Quartz sand quarries and lignite mining shaped the surrounding landscape, while the tram to central Cologne now makes the town an easy base close to the city.
Tips for arriving in the Rhein-Erft district
An afternoon landing meets the Cologne commuter peak, and the last twenty kilometres can then take longer than the previous eighty. That is already accounted for and does not change the fixed price.
Trade fair visitors are worth a note: Koelnmesse in Deutz is quickly reached from Frechen, which is why many exhibitors stay here and ask to be driven straight to their hotel.

Transfer, taxi or train from Frechen?
The rail alternative means an ICE to Cologne, a change onto the tram and a final walk from the stop to your address, which is a poor chain to manage with suitcases. A taxi from Frankfurt meters close to 200 kilometres. A rental car demands your full attention on one of the busiest motorways in the country immediately after a flight. The fixed-price transfer replaces all of it with a driver in the arrivals hall, one vehicle to Frechen and a price with nothing left to negotiate.

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Frechen take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Frechen takes about 129 minutes for 192 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 Frechen?
The fixed price for the 192 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 Frechen.
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.
