Route facts

The route: Göppingen to Frankfurt Airport

From Göppingen in the Fils valley to the terminal kerb at Frankfurt Airport is roughly 242 kilometres and about two and a half hours of driving. The drive first runs down the B 10 through Uhingen and Plochingen, then joins the A 8 via the B 313.

The A 8 skirts Stuttgart to the north and continues towards Karlsruhe, after which the A 5, A 6 and A 67 carry the journey across the Rhine plain past Mannheim. Beyond Darmstadt only a few minutes remain to the slip road onto airport ground.

Pickup in Göppingen

The driver comes to your address, whether in the centre by the Marktplatz or out in Faurndau, Jebenhausen, Holzheim or Bartenbach. Eislingen, Uhingen, Rechberghausen and Heiningen lie practically on the way to the B 10 and can be served as well.

Because an early Frankfurt departure means starting in the middle of the night, the pickup time is calculated backwards from your flight. Child seats, ski bags or golf luggage can be registered in advance.

Arriving at the departure terminal

At the airport you are set down on the departures level, outside Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. Which of the two applies depends purely on your airline and is settled before you travel.

That means the trip from the Fils valley ends without a single change. Instead of a regional train to Stuttgart, an S-Bahn or ICE and the walk from the long-distance station, you go straight to check-in.

Göppingen in the Fils valley

Göppingen sits on the river Fils in full view of the Hohenstaufen, the conical hill that once carried the ancestral castle of the imperial dynasty and gives the town its Staufer epithet. In the centre stands Duke Christoph's Renaissance castle with its famous spiral vine staircase, and the late Gothic Oberhofen church on the edge of town.

Beyond the region, Göppingen is known as the home of the model railway maker Märklin and its Märklineum museum, and for the handball club Frisch Auf Göppingen. All around, the Swabian Alb rises, with the Geislingen escarpment as the district's most striking edge to the east.

Tips for this journey

The bottleneck comes at the very start: the B 10 through the Fils valley and the link to the A 8 are sluggish during commuting hours. Before six or after ten in the morning the same stretch flows far better.

Roadworks are the norm on the A 8 around Stuttgart and on the climb up the Alb, so build in a buffer. Anyone starting from the higher districts around Jebenhausen should allow a few extra minutes in winter.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Göppingen?

By rail from Göppingen you take the Fils valley line to Stuttgart, change there and continue to the airport long-distance station, which becomes tiring with large bags and tight connections. A metered taxi over 242 kilometres bills the whole distance and then drives back to the Fils valley empty, whereas this transfer carries a fixed price set at booking. Your own car costs you an airport parking space for the entire trip, while the transfer starts at your front door in Göppingen and ends at the terminal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Göppingen to Frankfurt Airport takes about 158 minutes for 242 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Göppingen for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Göppingen about 5 h 8 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 8 min for long-haul. That is 158 minutes of driving, 30 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 Göppingen to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 242 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 Göppingen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Göppingen.

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