Route facts

The route from Frankfurt Airport to Mainz

From Frankfurt Airport to Mainz it is around 38 kilometres, usually a drive of about 33 minutes. Your chauffeur takes the A3 and A60 and reaches the Rhine capital from the east.

Meet and greet in the arrivals hall

After you land, your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign. There is no need to find your way through the terminal; you head straight for your name.

Your driver helps with your luggage and walks you to the vehicle. If your flight is delayed, the arrival is tracked, so no one is left waiting in vain.

Arriving at your address in Mainz

Travel tips for arriving in Mainz

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Mainz takes about 33 minutes for 38 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 Mainz?

The fixed price for the 38 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 Mainz.

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.
