Route facts

Kempten to Frankfurt Airport on the A7

The distance from Kempten in the Allgäu to Frankfurt Airport is about 394 kilometres, which takes roughly three hours and 55 minutes. The driver joins the A7 northbound at Kempten, passes Memmingen and Ulm, changes onto the A3 near Würzburg and reaches the airport via the Frankfurter Kreuz interchange.

The whole run is motorway, which makes the timing easy to plan. In practice only the roadworks stretches on the A7 north of Ulm and the Frankfurter Kreuz slow things down, so we set the Kempten departure with a buffer built in.

Pickup in Kempten

We collect you at the address you name, whether that is the old town between St Lorenz basilica and Residenzplatz, a company site on the northern edge, or one of the neighbouring villages such as Durach, Betzigau, Waltenhofen or Buchenberg.

The driver is there at the agreed time and loads the luggage. For early Frankfurt departures that means setting off before dawn, but there is no connection to catch and nothing to change along the way.

Arriving at the departure terminal

In Frankfurt we drive straight to the departures level and stop at the terminal your airline uses, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. From the kerb it is a short walk to check-in or bag drop.

With around four hours on the road from the Allgäu, we time the arrival so you have roughly three hours before a long-haul flight. Two hours is enough for a European departure, which means a correspondingly later start in Kempten.

Kempten, gateway to the Allgäu

Kempten is one of the oldest towns in Germany, founded as the Roman settlement of Cambodunum on the river Iller. That history is still visible in the townscape, from the archaeological park to the baroque Residenz with its state rooms and the basilica of St Lorenz.

With close to 68,000 residents, the town is the economic and administrative hub of the Allgäu, known for dairy and cheese production and home to a university of applied sciences. For many travellers it is also the gateway to the Allgäu Alps and the ski resorts further south.

Tips for the drive out of Kempten

Flag ski gear, hiking kit or golf bags when you book, since they are routine on this route and determine which vehicle we send. Groups coming down from the Oberallgäu should book early for the same reason.

In winter, reaching Kempten from the side valleys can take longer than the motorway leg itself. Between December and March we add extra time so that snowfall does not put the flight at risk.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Betzigau (397 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 Kempten (Allgäu)?

By rail from Kempten you normally change in Ulm or Munich before continuing to Frankfurt Airport, wrestling luggage across platforms on a timetable that rarely lines up with early or late departures. A metered taxi over 394 kilometres climbs with every jam, and a rental car adds airport parking or a one-way drop charge. The fixed-price transfer starts at your Kempten address, runs through on the A7 and A3 to the departures kerb, and the price stays where it was regardless of how the traffic behaves.

How much is a transfer from Kempten (Allgäu) to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 394 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 Kempten (Allgäu). That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Kempten (Allgäu).

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