The route: Frankfurt Airport to Messe München
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to the exhibition grounds in Riem covers 406 kilometres and normally takes around 4 hours 10 minutes. The route runs on the A3 through the Spessart to Würzburg, on to Nuremberg, then south on the A9 past Ingolstadt.
Just before Munich the A99 ring road takes over and the A94 branches off straight towards Riem and the fairground. You arrive from the eastern side without ever entering Munich's city centre.
Meet and greet in arrivals
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name sign. We track your flight number, so an early or late landing changes nothing about the arrangement.
Nothing needs organising on your side: no app, no taxi queue, no hunting for the right parking level. The driver takes the luggage and walks you to the car.
Arriving at the exhibition grounds
We drop you at the entrance you actually need — Entrance West, Entrance East, the ICM, or your own hall if exhibitor access is open. Hotels in Messestadt Riem, Haar or Aschheim are served the same way, with no surcharge for the detour.
If you are travelling with stand material, that saves you the haul from the station or the U-Bahn platform. Everything stays in the vehicle until you reach the hall.
About Messe München
Messe München was built on the site of the old Munich-Riem airport and today comprises halls A1 to C6, the open-air site and the International Congress Center. Leading shows such as bauma, IFAT, ISPO, electronica and BAU make it one of Europe's most important exhibition venues.
During a fair the surrounding towns — Haar, Feldkirchen, Aschheim and Putzbrunn — effectively become part of the site, holding exhibitor hotels and logistics space. Riemer Park and the Messestadt district add a modern residential quarter with its own U-Bahn line.
Practical notes for this transfer
Name the fair and your hall when booking: during major events some approach roads and drop-off points are closed or diverted, and the driver then chooses the correct feeder route.
Arriving the evening before a show usually runs more smoothly than the first morning, when everything converges on the A94 at once. The fixed price is the same either way.
Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Feldkirchen (404 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 Messe München?
By rail, Frankfurt to Messe München means at least one change at Munich's main station onto the U2 out to Messestadt West — fine with hand luggage, awkward with sample cases. A metered taxi from Frankfurt Airport bills 406 kilometres on the meter and becomes an open-ended invoice at that distance. A rental car ties you to fairground parking, which is scarce and costly during a show. The fixed-price transfer meets you with a name sign in arrivals and delivers you and your material to your entrance.

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Messe München take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Messe München takes about 250 minutes for 406 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 Messe München?
The fixed price for the 406 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 Messe München.
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.
