Route facts

From Freiburg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport

From the main station on Bismarckallee to Frankfurt Airport is about 263 kilometres, a run we schedule at roughly 2 hours 48 minutes. The route leaves the Breisgau for the A 5 and then heads almost dead straight north through the Upper Rhine plain.

Past Emmendingen, Offenburg, Karlsruhe and Mannheim it stays motorway the whole way until the airport exit appears shortly before the Frankfurter Kreuz. The edge of the Black Forest accompanies you on one side, the wine villages of the Rhine plain on the other — one of the more scenic approaches to FRA.

Pickup in Freiburg

We collect you on Bismarckallee in front of the main station, or at any other Freiburg address — the old town around the Münster, Herdern, Wiehre, Vauban or the university hospital. Since stopping outside the station is limited to a few moments, the driver calls you as soon as he is in place.

Bicycles, hiking kit or ski bags from the Black Forest travel with you — please flag oversized luggage when booking so the vehicle class fits.

Arriving at the departure terminal

The journey ends in front of check-in: Terminal 1 for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partners, Terminal 3 for the airlines handled there. No transfer from the long-distance station, no trek behind a luggage trolley.

Tell us your flight number and departure time and we fix the Freiburg pickup with a buffer for the A 5.

Freiburg im Breisgau — gateway to the Black Forest

Freiburg lies between the Kaiserstuhl hills and the Black Forest and counts as one of Germany's sunniest cities. The Münster, with its openwork stone spire, presides over the Münstermarkt, the little Bächle water channels run through the old-town lanes, and the Schlossberg rises above it all with views over the city and the Rhine plain.

The Albert Ludwig University shapes the streetscape as much as the Vauban eco-district and the dense tram network do. Travellers using the main station often come in from the High Black Forest, the Markgräflerland wine country or from nearby Alsace and Switzerland.

Tips for the A 5 run

The A 5 between Karlsruhe and Frankfurt is one of the busiest corridors in the country; we add time in rush hour and on holiday weekends. Roadworks around the Frankfurter Kreuz are a fact of life.

For early flights we collect in Freiburg overnight, when the road is clear and the drive is noticeably quicker. Child seats, an extra stop in Emmendingen or a larger vehicle class can all be booked in advance.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Merzhausen (270 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 Freiburg Hauptbahnhof?

Freiburg has good long-distance trains towards Frankfurt, but you still end up at the airport's long-distance station hauling your bags on to the terminal — and a delay turns the connection into pressure. A taxi over 263 kilometres runs on the meter, with the total revealed only on arrival. A rental car means a one-way rental, a fuel stop and a return at the rental centre before check-in. A fixed-price transfer is settled before you book, covers the whole vehicle and its luggage, and carries you from Bismarckallee to the departures kerb without a change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Freiburg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Freiburg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport takes about 168 minutes for 263 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 35 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Freiburg Hauptbahnhof for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Freiburg Hauptbahnhof about 5 h 23 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 23 min for long-haul. That is 168 minutes of driving, 35 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.

How much is a transfer from Freiburg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 263 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 is booked to the minute in Freiburg Hauptbahnhof. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Freiburg Hauptbahnhof.

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.

How does free cancellation work?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Freiburg Hauptbahnhof 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
