Route facts

The route from Lahr to Frankfurt Airport

Lahr lies 226 km from Frankfurt Airport and the run is planned at around two hours twenty – quick for the distance, because almost all of it follows the A 5 up the flat Upper Rhine plain.

After the first kilometres on the B 415 the car joins the A 5 near Offenburg and heads north past Karlsruhe and Mannheim, using the A 6 and A 67 in between, until the airport exit appears shortly before the Frankfurter Kreuz. There is effectively no climbing on this route at all.

Pickup at your address in Lahr

The driver comes to your address at the agreed time – the town centre around the Urteilsplatz and the Storchenturm, Dinglingen, Kippenheimweiler, Sulz, Reichenbach or Hugsweier, and equally Lahr station over in Dinglingen.

Neighbouring villages are part of the same journey: Friesenheim, Seelbach, Kippenheim, Schwanau, Hohberg and Meißenheim all lie towards the motorway access. Driver name and licence plate reach you beforehand.

Arriving at the departure terminal

You are set down on the departures level at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on the airline. Naming the carrier at booking fixes the hall in advance.

The driver unloads the cases and points you to check-in. From your Ortenau doorstep to the desk there is no change of vehicle.

About Lahr: chrysanthemums, the Storchenturm and a former garrison town

Lahr sits in the Ortenau district where the Schutter valley leaves the Black Forest for the Rhine plain, and counts around 51,000 residents. It is known as a town of flowers: each autumn the Chrysanthema turns the centre into a display of blooms, and the state garden show left behind a public park that now links the districts together.

The Storchenturm, the keep of the old moated castle, is the landmark. For decades the Canadian garrison shaped the place, and after its withdrawal the barracks and airfield became a business park and a regional airfield. A few kilometres north, at Rust, Europa-Park draws visitors from across the continent – many of whom fly into Frankfurt.

Travel tips for the A 5 run

The A 5 between Karlsruhe and the Frankfurter Kreuz is one of Europe's main north-south arteries and correspondingly prone to roadworks. At the start of the school holidays in Baden-Württemberg or Hesse, holiday traffic joins in, and the pickup is set earlier accordingly.

For early morning flights the pickup falls at night – the service runs around the clock. Add your flight number and terminal at booking so the plan is fixed before the car leaves.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Lahr?

A metered taxi from Lahr charges all 226 km on the clock, and the passenger-free return to the Ortenau is paid for by somebody in the end. By train you would normally reach the long-distance network through Offenburg or Karlsruhe, change there and then walk from the airport's long-distance station to the terminal – awkward with luggage and connection times ahead of an early departure. A rental car adds the airport car park return, a fuel stop and a wait at the desk. The fixed-price transfer instead waits outside your Lahr address, drives to the departures kerb without a change, and costs exactly what the booking form showed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Lahr to Frankfurt Airport takes about 143 minutes for 226 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Lahr for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Lahr about 4 h 53 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 5 h 53 min for long-haul. That is 143 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 Lahr to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 226 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 Lahr. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Lahr.

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