From Frankfurt Airport to Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof
From the airport the route joins the A 3 heading east: through the Spessart hills, past Würzburg and the Franconian vineyards, then on via Erlangen and Fürth into Nuremberg. Around 231 kilometres, scheduled at about 153 minutes.
The last few kilometres lead from the motorway onto the city ring and to Bahnhofsplatz, facing the old town wall where the historic centre begins.
Meet and greet at the airport
Your driver is in the arrivals hall with a name sign, so there are no phone calls and no pickup zone to find. We follow the flight number, and a late landing does not disturb the arrangement.
If you want a coffee before setting off after a long flight, that is fine – the drive into Franconia starts at your pace, not the clock's.
Arriving in Nuremberg
We stop at Bahnhofsplatz 9 if you are continuing into the region, or go straight to your hotel in the old town, to Gostenhof, Erlenstegen or the NürnbergMesse in Langwasser. Parts of the old town have access restrictions; the driver knows the permitted stopping points closest to your door.
Travellers connecting into the Upper Palatinate or Upper Franconia are best dropped at the Hauptbahnhof, where the long-distance platforms are reached directly from the forecourt.
Nuremberg: castle, old town and fairground
With more than half a million residents, Nuremberg is Bavaria's second city, and few main stations sit as close to a historic centre: the Königstor and the Handwerkerhof stand opposite, and Königstraße climbs from there to the Hauptmarkt and the imperial Kaiserburg.
Medieval and modern sit tightly together – the Schöner Brunnen and the Frauenkirche on the Hauptmarkt, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, the documentation centre at the former Nazi party rally grounds, and the NürnbergMesse in Langwasser, where the toy fair and BIOFACH draw international crowds.
Practical notes
During fair weeks and in Advent, old-town hotels are booked out early and many visitors end up in Fürth or Erlangen, which changes the transfer destination – simply give us the final address.
For groups a van makes sense: five people with luggage arrive together, without two cars losing each other on the A 3.

Transfer, taxi or train from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof?
Rail from the airport's long-distance station reaches Nuremberg quickly, but you need the right connection and still face the last stretch to your hotel – rarely what you want after a night flight. A taxi meters the full 231 kilometres, including whatever congestion the Spessart produces that day. A rental car means driving the A 3 yourself after eight hours in the air, whereas with a fixed-price transfer you sit in the back and the cost was known before you boarded.

| Taxi (meter) | ~153 min | 0 | included | variable, after the ride |

When to set off from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof
For the 231 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 153 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof about 5 h 3 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 6 h 3 min.
You do not have to do that arithmetic yourself. Enter your departure time and address and the booking form proposes the pickup time — driving time, buffer and terminal lead are already inside it. If you would rather leave earlier, overwrite the suggestion.
In the other direction the arithmetic disappears anyway: for an airport pickup the time hangs on your flight number, not the clock. Your driver tracks the actual landing, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown are included.
What the price covers on this route
The fixed price for Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof – Frankfurt Airport covers all 231 km, plus tolls and road charges en route, the airport access and short-stay parking at pickup. What you pay is settled before you book — there is no meter and no surcharge that only appears as you get out.
The price is independent of the clock as well. The same route costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon, the same on public holidays as on working days, and there is no demand surcharge during trade fairs. The only things that move it are ones you choose: a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class, or the return leg.
Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation; our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. Pets travel when the species and size are noted at booking, and guide and assistance dogs with no notice and no surcharge.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof takes about 153 minutes for 231 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof?
The fixed price for the 231 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.
What does the fixed price include?
It covers the 231 km drive, tolls and road charges en route, airport fees, and 60 minutes of waiting from the landing time. The price only moves for things you choose yourself — a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class or a return leg — and each is shown in the form before you confirm.
Does the ride cost more at night or on public holidays?
The fixed price applies whatever the clock says: Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof – Frankfurt Airport costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon. There is no night, weekend or holiday surcharge, and no demand pricing during trade fairs. Booking and driving run 24/7.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The sedan classes take 4 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 12 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof.
Transfer or train from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof?
The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 231 km in about 153 minutes with no changes and ends at your address rather than a station; travelling alone with hand luggage and a good connection, the train is often the better call.
Can I travel with a dog or a cat?
Pets are welcome. State the species and size when booking so the right vehicle class is dispatched for Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof — small animals travel in a carrier in the footwell, larger dogs in the load area of a van. Guide dogs and assistance dogs travel in every vehicle, with no advance notice and no surcharge.
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.
Can I book this transfer for someone else?
The booking runs in the passenger's name rather than the payer's — your guest, client or family member is met at the terminal with a name sign. Payment and the receipt stay with you. Add the passenger's flight number and mobile so flight tracking and contact both work.
Who is the service for?
Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation. Our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly: couples, families of every shape, women travelling alone and guests who need assistance are driven with exactly the same matter-of-factness as anyone else. Discretion is part of a chauffeur service in any case.
