Route facts

The route: Frankfurt Airport to Hanau

It is 36 kilometres from the airport to Hanau, roughly 29 minutes of driving. The car leaves the airport on the B 43, runs east on the A 3 past Rodgau and drops into the town on the B 45 and B 43a.

The whole drive stays inside the Rhine-Main region and finishes where the river Kinzig meets the Main. After a long-haul flight it is a mercifully short final leg.

Meet and greet in arrivals

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name sign and tracks your inbound flight. If the aircraft is late, the pickup simply moves with it.

There is no number to call and no hall to find: a handshake, a luggage trolley and the driver takes the cases to the car.

Arriving at your Hanau address

You are set down at the address you gave, whether that is a hotel in the centre, an apartment in Kesselstadt or a company site in the Wolfgang industrial area. Steinheim, Grossauheim and neighbouring Bruchkoebel, Maintal or Erlensee are all on the same route.

Tell the driver which entrance you want and he stops there rather than in a car park behind the building.

Hanau: the fairy-tale town on the Main

Hanau counts as the starting point of the German Fairy Tale Route because Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born here; their monument stands on the Neustaedter Marktplatz. Schloss Philippsruhe on the riverbank houses the town museum, and its park becomes an open-air stage for the Grimm festival each summer.

If you have time, look at the German Goldsmiths House in its timber-framed setting on the old market square and the state park at Wilhelmsbad with its historic carousel. As the seat of the Main-Kinzig district, Hanau is also the gateway to the Kinzig valley and the Spessart hills.

Practical notes on arrival

A night landing or a very early one is precisely when a pre-booked car pays for itself: it is there regardless of taxi queues or the last connection of the evening.

Travelling with children, skis or trade-fair material is worth flagging at booking so that child seats and a vehicle with the right boot are allocated.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Hanau?

Public transport to Hanau from the airport means a change plus a taxi from the station at the end, which is the least appealing option of the day with a full luggage trolley. An airport taxi does not know your landing time and charges waiting and traffic by the meter. A rental car sends you to a desk and onto the A 3 in an unfamiliar vehicle immediately after a flight. With a fixed-price transfer the driver is standing in arrivals with your name, the fare is known in advance, and the next time you get out is outside your Hanau address.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Hanau takes about 29 minutes for 36 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 Hanau?

The fixed price for the 36 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 Hanau.

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.
