Route facts

From Frankfurt Airport up to Hinterzarten

The journey covers about 290 kilometres and takes a little over three hours. From the Frankfurter Kreuz the A5 runs south past Mannheim and Karlsruhe to Freiburg, after which the road climbs through the Höllental into the High Black Forest.

The change in altitude is what makes this transfer distinctive: you start on the Rhine-Main plain and finish high on the Black Forest plateau, often in completely different weather.

Meet and greet in arrivals

Your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, just beyond the exit from customs. We track your flight number, so a delayed landing changes nothing about the pick-up.

From the greeting to the car the driver handles the bags. After a long-haul flight this is the final leg on which you no longer have to think about connections.

Arriving in Hinterzarten

We take you to the door of your hotel, spa house or holiday chalet, even when it sits on a side road above the village centre. Late at night that is far more comfortable than standing at the station looking for a last bus.

If your accommodation is in a neighbouring village we can drop off in Titisee or Breitnau on request.

What defines Hinterzarten

With roughly 2,500 inhabitants the village is small, yet it remains one of the best-known addresses in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district. Traditional hotels, the spa park and cross-country trails sit within walking distance of each other, and the Adlerschanze is a reminder that ski-jumping history was written here for decades.

The Feldberg, Lake Titisee and the Ravenna gorge are all close by. Some guests come for a week of mountain air, others for a conference or a wedding in one of the larger houses.

Tips for arriving in the High Black Forest

Keep something warm in your hand luggage; the difference between Frankfurt and the Black Forest heights is noticeable, especially in spring. Travelling with children is easier if you order child seats when booking so they are fitted before we set off.

For arrivals after midnight it is worth messaging your accommodation, since many houses in the village do not staff reception around the clock.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Feldberg (308 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 Hinterzarten?

By rail Hinterzarten is reachable only via Freiburg and the Höllental line, which means at least two changes with luggage on the platform. A metered taxi from Frankfurt Airport charges the whole distance by the kilometre, with no way of knowing the total before you arrive. A rental car puts you behind the wheel after a night flight, precisely for the twisting climb through the gorge. The fixed-price transfer greets you with a name sign and drives straight through to your accommodation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Hinterzarten takes about 193 minutes for 290 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 Hinterzarten?

The fixed price for the 290 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 Hinterzarten.

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.
