From Frankfurt Airport to Linz
After landing the car joins the A 3 heading east, past Würzburg, Nuremberg and Regensburg to Passau - a single motorway spine covering most of the 562 kilometres. The Austrian border is crossed at Suben.
On the Austrian side the A 8 and A 25 lead in via Wels before the A 7 Mühlkreis motorway takes you straight through Linz. Around five hours and 40 minutes is realistic; the vignette and tolls are included in the fixed price.
Name sign waiting in Frankfurt
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall beyond customs with a name sign, in Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on your flight. If the landing slips, the waiting time simply moves with it - we track the flight number.
After a long-haul flight this is the moment the journey gets easier: the driver takes the luggage and walks you to the car instead of leaving you in a queue or at a ticket machine.
Arriving in Linz
We drive you to the exact address - a hotel on the Hauptplatz, an apartment in Urfahr, a conference venue on the Danube bank, or home in Leonding, Puchenau, Plesching or Traun. Destinations up in the Mühlviertel north of the city are equally possible.
If your flight lands late, the trip ends in the early hours at your own door rather than in an airport hotel. Waiting time and night hours do not show up in the price.
About Linz
People rarely end up in Linz by accident: it is an industrial base, a university city thanks to the Johannes Kepler University, and a cultural address at the same time. The Hauptplatz ranks among the largest enclosed squares in Central Europe, and the Nibelungen Bridge links the centre to Urfahr right beside it.
The Ars Electronica Center on the northern bank and the Lentos art museum on the southern one define the skyline after dark, while the Pöstlingberg and its narrow-gauge mountain railway supply the classic view over the Danube valley.
Notes for the run into Austria
Give us the flight number so the driver can wait for the actual landing; for arrivals from overseas we allow extra time for passport control and baggage reclaim. Keep travel documents handy, as checks at Suben do happen.
We normally take a break somewhere between Nuremberg and Regensburg. Child seats and a larger vehicle for families or delegations can be ordered with the booking.
Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Puchenau (522 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Transfer, taxi or train from Linz?
There is no comfortable rail route from Frankfurt Airport to Linz: a change at the Fernbahnhof, another change en route, and a taxi at the far end. A rental car asks you to drive the A 3 yourself straight off a long-haul flight, complete with the border and the vignette, on a one-way international hire. A taxi with no agreed figure for 562 kilometres is not a serious option. A transfer booked in advance answers all of it with a driver at the exit, a fixed destination address and a price settled before you boarded.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Linz take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Linz takes about 340 minutes for 562 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 Linz?
The fixed price for the 562 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.
Do you drive across the border to Linz?
Cross-border journeys are part of the standard service — Linz is served at a fixed price exactly like German destinations, and we cover Germany plus 10 neighbouring countries in total. Tolls, road vignettes and border formalities are included in the price.
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 Linz.
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.
