Route facts

The route: Frankfurt Airport to Rüsselsheim

Frankfurt Airport to Rüsselsheim is around 15 kilometres and roughly 19 minutes, one of the shortest transfers we run at all. We leave the terminal onto the B43 and head west along the Main through Kelsterbach and Raunheim.

Depending on your destination street and the traffic, we may instead take the A3 from the Mönchhof interchange and the A60 towards Groß-Gerau. Either way you spend less time in the car than you probably spent at the baggage belt.

Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a name sign – in the relevant hall A, B or C at Terminal 1, or in the arrivals area at Terminal 3. There is no rank to find and no app to open.

We track your flight number, so a delayed landing or a slow passport queue simply shifts the pickup along with it. No surcharge is added for that waiting time.

Arriving in Rüsselsheim

We take you to the door: a hotel in the centre, a home address in Königstädten or Bauschheim, a visitor gate at the plant, or a friend's flat. The driver unloads the bags and stays until you are actually inside.

For anyone arriving with an appointment in Rüsselsheim, that is the part that counts. After a long-haul flight the journey ends at a house number, not on a platform.

What Rüsselsheim is about

This town in the Groß-Gerau district is bound up with Opel – more than a century of car manufacturing, plus engineering, design and a dense ring of suppliers. Visitors travelling on business almost always have their meeting somewhere in that ecosystem.

The landmark worth seeing is the Festung Rüsselsheim on the riverbank, one of the region's best-preserved Renaissance fortresses, now home to the town and industrial museum. You can walk the riverside path towards Raunheim, and the Opelvillen show art in the former manufacturers' houses.

Practical notes for arrival

Give us the full destination address including the district when you book – Rüsselsheim spreads out, and the centre and Königstädten are several minutes apart. Tell us the children's ages and we fit the right seats.

If you land late in the evening, the short distance really tells. Rail service thins out overnight, while the car is there regardless of any timetable.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Raunheim (11 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Rüsselsheim?

At the taxi rank the fare is only settled at your destination, and a hold-up at the Kelsterbach junction keeps the meter running. The S8 from the regional station is the fast option for hand-luggage travellers, but it means changing inside the terminal, stairs at Rüsselsheim station and a final leg on foot or by cab. Collecting a rental car for a 15-kilometre trip takes longer at the desk than the drive itself. The fixed-price transfer is settled in advance, the driver is holding a sign in arrivals, and the ride ends at your address instead of a stop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Rüsselsheim takes about 19 minutes for 15 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 Rüsselsheim?

The fixed price for the 15 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 Rüsselsheim.

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.
