The route from Frankfurt Airport to Potsdam
From Frankfurt Airport to Potsdam is about 532 kilometres and around five hours and twenty minutes. We drive the A 5 to Kassel, continue on the A 2 via Braunschweig, then head through Brandenburg an der Havel and the Berlin ring road, the A 10, into the Havel city.

Potsdam – palaces, gardens and film history

Transfer, taxi or train from Potsdam?
The train from Frankfurt to Potsdam usually runs via Berlin, with a change and luggage after a long flight. A rental car means taking the wheel yourself for more than 500 kilometres straight after landing, and a taxi over this route would be impossible to price. The fixed-price transfer instead brings you rested and change-free right to the door, at a fare agreed in advance.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Potsdam take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Potsdam takes about 319 minutes for 532 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 Potsdam?
The fixed price for the 532 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 Potsdam.
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.
