The route: Frankfurt Airport to Rastatt
Frankfurt Airport to Rastatt is roughly 155 kilometres and about 102 minutes of driving. From the Frankfurter Kreuz the A 5 runs south along the Bergstraße, with the A 67 and A 6 taking over around Mannheim.
Beyond Karlsruhe the A 5 continues down the Upper Rhine plain past the Baden-Baden exit until we reach Rastatt on the Murg. The last stretch into town runs on a main road rather than the motorway.
Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport
Your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall – Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 according to your airline. The flight number is tracked, so a delayed landing does not become a missed pickup.
Straight after baggage reclaim you are in the car. For anyone flying in for a plant appointment in Rastatt, that removes the change at Mannheim or Karlsruhe entirely.
Arriving in Rastatt
We take you to your door, hotel or company address – the centre by the Schlossplatz, Niederbühl, Rauental, or the Rhine meadow villages of Plittersdorf and Ottersdorf. You give the address when booking.
Destinations in the surrounding area are just as direct: Kuppenheim, Muggensturm, Bischweier or the Iffezheim racecourse. The car stops as close to the entrance as access allows.
About Rastatt
Rastatt is the district town of the northern Upper Rhine, set where the Murg leaves the Black Forest for the plain. The baroque residence of the Margraves of Baden still defines its centre, and the town's history as a federal fortress and a stage of the 1849 Baden revolution is preserved in the museums there.
Schloss Favorite, on the edge of town, counts among the finest pleasure palaces in the region. A few kilometres west the Rhine water meadows begin near Plittersdorf, while Baden-Baden with its spas and festival hall lies immediately to the south.
Practical notes
On Iffezheim race days and through the Baden-Baden event season the surrounding roads are noticeably busier, so an afternoon arrival benefits from a little extra time. The Mannheim to Karlsruhe stretch can also be slow at rush hour.
Late landings leave few workable rail connections to Rastatt, whereas a direct car runs regardless of the timetable. For plant visits or conferences nearby, book everyone travelling together as a single journey.
Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Kuppenheim (158 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 Rastatt?
Going by train means the airport's long-distance station, a change at Mannheim or Karlsruhe, and then the last hop from Rastatt station to the address you actually want – three legs with luggage after a long flight. A taxi from Frankfurt bills 155 kilometres on an open meter. A rental car puts you on the A 5 immediately after landing and then into a parking search in town. The fixed-price transfer settles the amount before booking, has a driver holding your name in arrivals, and ends at your destination on the Murg.

| Taxi (meter) | ~102 min | 0 | included | variable, after the ride |

When to set off from Rastatt
For the 155 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 102 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 20 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Rastatt about 4 h 2 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 5 h 2 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 Rastatt – Frankfurt Airport covers all 155 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 Rastatt take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Rastatt takes about 102 minutes for 155 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 Rastatt?
The fixed price for the 155 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 155 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: Rastatt – 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 Rastatt.
Transfer or train from Rastatt?
The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 155 km in about 102 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 Rastatt — 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.
