The route: Giessen to Frankfurt Airport

Giessen sits 75 kilometres north of Frankfurt Airport, about 55 minutes of driving. The car uses the A 485 and a short section of the A 45 to reach the A 5, which carries some 50 kilometres of the journey south through the Wetterau.

On the way it passes Butzbach, Bad Nauheim and Friedberg before traffic thickens around the Bad Homburg and Nordwest interchanges. The final kilometres run on the B 43 straight into the airport.

Pickup in Giessen

Your driver comes to your address: a flat in the centre or the northern quarter, an institute or the university hospital of Justus Liebig University, a hotel near Berliner Platz or a company on the eastern industrial estate.

Heuchelheim, Wettenberg, Linden, Pohlheim, Lollar and Buseck are covered too, driven to directly instead of sending you into Giessen first.

Arriving at the departure terminal

You are set down on the departures level, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on the airline, and the driver unloads the cases and shows you the way to check-in.

For students and academics travelling with a term's worth of luggage or conference material this is the simplest arrangement: one vehicle in central Hesse, one stop in front of the hall.

Giessen: a university town on the Lahn

Few German cities are shaped by their university as thoroughly as Giessen; relative to its size an unusually large share of the population is studying here, and that shows in everything from the bar scene to the rental market. Justus Liebig University carries the name of the chemist Justus von Liebig, whose historic laboratory can still be visited as a museum.

The Mathematikum by the station was the world's first hands-on mathematics museum and draws families from across Hesse, while the botanical garden is among the oldest in Germany still on its original site. War damage left the centre largely modern, so the greenery comes from the river Lahn and from the Schiffenberg hill on the edge of town.

Tips for the airport run

The A 5 between Friedberg and the Nordwestkreuz is the section that eats time in the morning; a six o'clock pickup typically saves a quarter of an hour over a seven o'clock one.

Where roadworks affect the Gambacher Kreuz interchange, the driver plans the alternative in advance. Groups from the university, or travellers with trade-fair and laboratory equipment, should ask for a larger vehicle at booking.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Linden (70 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 Giessen?

The train from Giessen heads for Frankfurt and then needs a change for the airport; on an early flight everything depends on the first departure of the day, and regional services on the Main-Weser line are not always punctual. A metered taxi bills 75 kilometres and returns to central Hesse empty. A rental car adds a return, a fuel stop and a terminal shuttle at the end of the drive. A fixed-price transfer is outside your Giessen address on time, the amount is clear before you book, and the next time you step out is on the departures level.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Giessen to Frankfurt Airport takes about 55 minutes for 75 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Giessen for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Giessen about 3 h 10 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 4 h 10 min for long-haul. That is 55 minutes of driving, 15 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 Giessen to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 75 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 Giessen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Giessen.

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 Giessen 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
