The route from Ludwigshafen to Frankfurt Airport
From Ludwigshafen to Frankfurt Airport it is around 81 kilometres, a drive your chauffeur completes in about 58 minutes when the roads are clear. The route runs north via the A6 and A67 across the Rhine plain, past directly neighbouring Mannheim on the other bank of the Rhine.

Transfer, taxi or train from Ludwigshafen?
With your own car you pay airport parking for the whole trip and drive the near hour yourself instead of sitting back. The train from Ludwigshafen is fast but means changing with luggage and a connection to the terminal, while a taxi only shows the fare for the long stretch at the destination. The fixed-price transfer collects you at your Ludwigshafen address and takes you without any changes to the terminal, for an amount known at the time of booking.

How long does the transfer from Ludwigshafen to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Ludwigshafen to Frankfurt Airport takes about 58 minutes for 81 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Ludwigshafen for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Ludwigshafen about 3 h 13 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 4 h 13 min for long-haul. That is 58 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 Ludwigshafen to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 81 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 Ludwigshafen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Ludwigshafen.
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 Ludwigshafen 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
