The route to Frankfurt Airport
Krefeld to Frankfurt Airport is around 242 kilometres, a drive of roughly two and three-quarter hours when the roads are clear. From this Lower Rhine silk city your driver takes the A 524, joins the A 3 and follows it past Cologne, Bonn and Limburg straight to the Frankfurter Kreuz at the terminals.
No border is crossed – although Krefeld sits close to the Dutch frontier, the route stays entirely in Germany.
Pickup in Krefeld
Your driver collects you at your address in Krefeld, whether in the city centre, in riverside Uerdingen or in Bockum. He handles your luggage and leaves early enough to absorb the heavy traffic on the A 3 around Cologne.
Arriving at your departure terminal
At Frankfurt Airport your driver stops right at your departure terminal – Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, matching your airline. With no car park to navigate and no connections, it is only a short walk to check-in, and the fixed price was agreed when you booked.
About Krefeld
Krefeld has been known as the velvet and silk city since the 18th century, when textile weaving made it wealthy and shaped the town it remains today. That legacy is visible in the two Mies van der Rohe villas, Haus Lange and Haus Esters – now modern-art museums – and in the medieval Burg Linn.
Set on the Lower Rhine with some 230,000 residents, Krefeld is an important centre for the chemical and steel industries.
Travel tips for this route
The clear pinch point on this route is the A 3 around Cologne, so an early pickup pays off for morning flights. Your driver sets the start time from your departure time, keeping a buffer for bag drop and security even in rush-hour traffic.

Transfer, taxi or train from Krefeld?
Against a taxi, the train or a rental car, the fixed-price transfer from Krefeld is the most predictable choice: the fare is set in advance and does not move even in a Cologne jam, while a meter stays open across 242 kilometres. The train from Krefeld needs at least one change with your cases, and a rental car adds airport parking plus a return trip – the transfer takes you door to terminal without a single stop.

How long does the transfer from Krefeld to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Krefeld to Frankfurt Airport takes about 165 minutes for 242 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 35 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Krefeld for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Krefeld about 5 h 20 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 20 min for long-haul. That is 165 minutes of driving, 35 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 Krefeld 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 Krefeld. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Krefeld.
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 Krefeld 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
