About the region
North Rhine-Westphalia reaches into Frankfurt Airport's catchment with 416 places across 53 districts and independent cities. Distances run from 126 km near the airport out to 375 km at the edge of the state — among them Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg.
Every one of these places follows the same routine: door-to-door pickup, one uninterrupted drive along the motorway to the terminal, and a fixed price settled before you book. Drive time depends on distance, not on the hour or the traffic — and the return from the airport works the same way, met in the arrivals hall.

Frequently asked questions
Which places in North Rhine-Westphalia are served?
416 places across North Rhine-Westphalia are served — from the nearest at 126 km to the furthest at 375 km from Frankfurt Airport. Each has its own transfer page with real distance, drive time and fixed price, grouped into 53 sub-regions. Addresses beyond the listed towns are bookable too: the price follows the distance, not a list of place names.
How long is the drive from North Rhine-Westphalia to Frankfurt Airport?
It depends on the town: around 113 minutes at 126 km, and about 281 minutes at 375 km in normal traffic. The exact figure is on each town's page — calculated from real route data rather than a flat rate per kilometre.
How much is an airport transfer from North Rhine-Westphalia?
The fixed price follows the specific town's distance and the vehicle class — across a 126–375 km span, fares inside North Rhine-Westphalia differ accordingly. The booking form shows the price for your address before you book, and it does not change afterwards regardless of traffic or time of day.
Where does my driver meet me at Terminal 1 / 3?
The meeting point is the arrivals hall of your terminal: your driver waits just beyond the customs exit with a name sign and walks you to the vehicle. Terminal 1 mainly serves Lufthansa and Star Alliance and Terminal 3 the remaining airlines — the right hall follows from the flight number you give when booking.
What happens when my flight is delayed?
Pickup is tied to your flight number and shifts automatically with the actual landing time — at no extra charge, even for a delay of several hours or a diversion to a different terminal. 60 minutes of waiting after touchdown are included, covering baggage reclaim and passport control.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The Economy, Business and First Class sedans take 4 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags for up to 3 passengers. The Business Van takes 12 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 people. Declare oversized items — skis, a golf bag, a pushchair, a wheelchair — when booking so the right class is dispatched.
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 — 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 by credit card in advance. Business customers can be invoiced. You always receive a receipt showing VAT, as a PDF by e-mail on request.
Can I travel with an infant or child seat?
An infant carrier, child seat or booster is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. Give the child's age and weight so the correct size group is installed — German law requires a restraint up to age 12 or 150 cm.
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.
How do cancellation and waiting-time charges work?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time; after that a fee may apply under the terms. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of waiting from the actual landing time, and address pickups include 15 minutes. Only beyond that does a waiting charge accrue, per started quarter hour.
Is FR Transfer licensed and insured?
FR Transfer operates as a licensed private-hire company under the German Passenger Transport Act (PBefG). Every vehicle carries commercial liability and passenger insurance and every driver holds a passenger-transport permit — unlike a private ridesharing arrangement, the journey is covered by law.
