The route: Gronau (Westf.) to Frankfurt Airport
From Gronau on the Dutch border it is around 335 kilometres to Frankfurt Airport, planned at roughly 3 hours 30 minutes of driving. The car first runs south on the A 31 through the western Münsterland, crosses the Lower Rhine and picks up the A 3 near Moers.
From there the A 3 carries you past Cologne and Bonn into the Rhine valley, along the edge of the Westerwald and via Limburg an der Lahn to the Frankfurter Kreuz, where the airport exit sits. The stretch between Cologne and Leverkusen is the classic bottleneck, which we deliberately clear ahead of the commuter peak on early departures.
Pickup in a border town
We collect you from your address in Gronau or the Epe district; the driver rings, loads the luggage and sets off at the agreed time. Because the town sits right on the border, we also collect passengers from the Dutch side, from Glanerbrug or Losser for example.
For groups spread over several households we plan a short pickup loop through town so that everyone travels in one vehicle.
Arriving at the departure terminal
At the airport you are set down on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, matched to your airline. We work the arrival time backwards from your departure so there is room for bag drop and security without leaving you sitting in the terminal for hours.
Gronau: a music town on the Dinkel
Gronau is best known as the birthplace of Udo Lindenberg and the home of the rock'n'popmuseum, the first museum in Germany devoted entirely to popular music. Its annual jazz festival has been a fixture in the regional calendar for decades.
Before that Gronau was a textile town: the big spinning mills on the edge of the centre shaped both the work and the skyline, and several brick buildings still stand. The Dinkel flows through the middle, and the border runs so close that Gronau and the Enschede district of Glanerbrug almost merge into one built-up area.
Tips for this journey
Expect roadworks somewhere on the A 3 between the Ruhr and Cologne; we allow a margin for that and reroute if needed. For early flights that means a pickup in Gronau while it is still dark.
If you are travelling with Dutch companions, give us all the pickup addresses together. Child seats and oversized luggage are noted in advance so the vehicle size fits.

Transfer, taxi or train from Gronau (Westf.)?
Going by rail from Gronau to Frankfurt normally means two changes, since the town is only served by regional lines towards Münster and Enschede, and with suitcases that is a slow way to start a travel day. A taxi over 335 kilometres runs on the meter, and a rental car adds a one-way fee, fuel and airport parking while the car ends up in Frankfurt rather than at home. The fixed-price transfer does the whole thing in one go, from a front door on the border to the departures level, with the amount agreed at booking.

How early should I leave Gronau (Westf.) for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Gronau (Westf.) about 6 h 12 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 7 h 12 min for long-haul. That is 212 minutes of driving, 40 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 Gronau (Westf.) to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 335 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 Gronau (Westf.). That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Gronau (Westf.).
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 Gronau (Westf.) 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
