Route facts

Straight onto the A9 from Berlin's southern edge

Lichtenrade sits at the very southern edge of Berlin, right against the Brandenburg boundary with Blankenfelde-Mahlow, and that saves time. Instead of crossing the city the driver uses the B96 and the southern Berlin ring to reach the A9, which is why the 560-kilometre run takes around five hours thirty-three – slightly less than the same distance from central Berlin.

From there it is the familiar southbound chain: the A9 past Dessau and Leipzig, the A4 at Hermsdorfer Kreuz towards Erfurt, then the A5 at Kirchheimer Dreieck down to the airport exit.

Doorstep pickup in Alt-Lichtenrade

Lichtenrade is a district of one- and two-family houses with front gardens, so the driver comes right to the drive – in the streets around the village pond, on Bahnhofstrasse or in the estates towards Marienfelde.

For a morning flight the pickup usually falls in the middle of the night. The driver rings once and loads quietly, because neighbours here live close together.

Arriving at the Frankfurt departure terminal

At the other end the car stops at the departures kerb of your terminal in Frankfurt, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on the airline you name when booking. You unload and walk straight to check-in with no terminal change.

Lichtenrade: a village inside the city

Lichtenrade belongs to the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg and has kept its village feel: the medieval fieldstone church stands by the pond in the old centre, surrounded by allotments, detached houses and a shopping street, Bahnhofstrasse, that feels more small town than metropolis.

For air travellers the edge-of-city position is an advantage: you reach the motorway faster than from any inner district, and Brandenburg begins immediately behind the last row of houses.

Tips for the run to Frankfurt

Because the route avoids Berlin's inner traffic entirely, an early morning departure is less risky here than from Mitte. Keep the buffer for roadworks on the A9 and A4 instead.

Tell us how many cases you are bringing – the typical Lichtenrade family trip with child seats and holiday luggage needs a bigger vehicle than a business run.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Lichtenrade?

A taxi from Lichtenrade would meter all 560 kilometres with nobody knowing the final figure at the start, while the transfer is booked as a fixed price. Going by rail starts with the S2 and at least one change before the ICE towards Frankfurt Airport even moves, and with suitcases at dawn that is the worst part of the day. A rental car removes the changes but adds a one-way fee, parking in Frankfurt and five and a half hours of your own driving; the transfer collects you outside the house and lets you sleep through it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Lichtenrade to Frankfurt Airport takes about 333 minutes for 560 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 65 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Lichtenrade for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Lichtenrade about 8 h 38 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 9 h 38 min for long-haul. That is 333 minutes of driving, 65 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 Lichtenrade to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 560 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 Lichtenrade. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Lichtenrade.

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