The route from Frankfurt Airport to Solingen
Frankfurt Airport to Solingen is around 203 kilometres, which we cover in just over two hours and twenty minutes when the roads are clear. From the terminal you take the A3 north, past Limburg an der Lahn, through the Cologne interchange and on via Hennef into the Bergisches Land.
The A3 is heavily used on this stretch, especially around Cologne. Your driver watches the traffic and takes the quicker line when needed, so you reach Solingen without unnecessary delay.
Meet and greet at Frankfurt Airport
After landing, your driver waits for you with a name sign in the arrivals hall, at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on your airline. You are met in person, with no connection to look for.
If your flight is delayed, the driver follows the actual arrival time and is there for you. He takes your luggage and walks you to the car.
Arriving in Solingen
Your driver takes you straight to your address in Solingen, whether to Ohligs, Höhscheid or the town centre. We also reach neighbouring places such as Haan, Leichlingen or Wermelskirchen without a detour surcharge.
That way you finish right at your door, with no change in Cologne and no wait for a connecting train up into the hilly Bergisches Land.
About Solingen
Solingen is known worldwide as the City of Blades for its knives, scissors and cutlery, whose origin is specially protected. Set on the heights of the Bergisches Land, the town is linked to Remscheid by the Müngsten Bridge, while Schloss Burg watches over the Wupper.
Those arriving here are often returning from a business trip or holiday, having used their last major long-haul connection in Frankfurt. Its location away from the big long-distance stations makes a direct door-step transfer especially practical.
Travel tips for this route
Share your flight number when booking so the driver tracks your arrival live and waits even if you are delayed. Waiting and parking time at the airport are covered by the fixed price.
After a long flight it is pleasant to step straight in and be driven into the Bergisches Land without changing, rather than carrying cases across platforms.

Transfer, taxi or train from Solingen?
Compared with the train, you avoid changing in Cologne and hauling luggage uphill through Solingen after landing; compared with a taxi, you know the fixed price when you book. A rental car rarely pays off for a one-way trip, since you would have to reach the desk first and need a parking space in Solingen, whereas the transfer brings you straight home.

How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Solingen take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Solingen takes about 141 minutes for 203 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 Solingen?
The fixed price for the 203 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 Solingen.
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.
