The route: Hanau to Frankfurt Airport

Hanau sits 36 kilometres east of Frankfurt Airport, a drive of around 29 minutes. The car leaves town on the B 43a and B 45, joins the A 3 westbound past Rodgau and turns off for the airport at the Frankfurter Kreuz interchange.

This is a short Rhine-Main hop rather than a long haul, so the clock matters more than the distance. The stretch of A 3 between the Offenbach and Frankfurt interchanges is one of the busiest pieces of motorway in Germany, which is why your pickup time is set against the rush hour rather than against the map.

Pickup at your Hanau address

Your driver comes to the address you give – the old town around Freiheitsplatz, Kesselstadt, Steinheim, Grossauheim or Wolfgang, and Hanau Hauptbahnhof if you are arriving by train.

Addresses in the surrounding towns are part of the same run: Bruchkoebel, Erlensee, Maintal, Grosskrotzenburg and Hainburg all lie on the way to the A 3. Luggage goes in the boot and the car runs straight through.

Arriving at the departure terminal

You are dropped on the departures level itself: Terminal 1 for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partners, Terminal 3 for the airlines handled there. Give us your airline when booking and the car stops at the right hall.

The driver unloads the cases and points you towards check-in – one vehicle from a Hanau doorstep to the desk, no changes in between.

Hanau: the Grimm brothers, goldsmiths and the Main

Hanau is the birthplace of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and their national monument stands on the Neustaedter Marktplatz where the German Fairy Tale Route begins. In summer the Brothers Grimm festival plays in the amphitheatre in the park of Schloss Philippsruhe, the baroque palace on the bank of the Main in Kesselstadt.

Precious metals have shaped the town for centuries: the German Goldsmiths House recalls a gold and silver trade that goes back to Walloon and Dutch refugees settling here. Business travellers usually come for the technology and precious-metal companies, while visitors head for the spa park at Wilhelmsbad on the northern edge of town.

Tips for this short run

Thirty-six kilometres tempts people to leave late. Plan around the Frankfurter Kreuz instead: between seven and nine in the morning, and from late afternoon onwards, the same drive takes noticeably longer than on a Sunday morning.

For early departures from Frankfurt a pickup before six is worth it, with an empty A 3 and a run of a little over twenty minutes. Mention child seats, sports equipment or extra luggage when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Hanau?

Taking the train means getting yourself and your cases to Hanau Hauptbahnhof first, then changing with luggage on a platform – over 36 kilometres that is more effort than the journey deserves. A metered taxi charges more the longer the queue before the Frankfurter Kreuz lasts, which is exactly where this route slows down. A rental car adds a garage return, a fuel stop and a shuttle to the terminal for barely half an hour of driving. A fixed-price transfer is agreed before you book, waits outside your door in Hanau and sets you down on the departures level.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Hanau to Frankfurt Airport takes about 29 minutes for 36 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Hanau for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Hanau about 2 h 44 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 3 h 44 min for long-haul. That is 29 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 Hanau to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 36 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 Hanau. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Hanau.

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