Route facts

The route from Mainz to Frankfurt Airport

From Mainz to Frankfurt Airport it is around 38 kilometres, a drive your chauffeur completes in about 33 minutes when the roads are clear. The route runs via the A60 and A3 through the Rhine-Main area, past the Wiesbaden area on the opposite bank of the Rhine.

As the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, Mainz lies west of the airport on the Rhine, and the motorways carry you swiftly to the terminal. The fixed price keeps the fare calculable even in heavy traffic towards the Frankfurter Kreuz.

Pick-up at your Mainz address

Your driver collects you directly at your address in Mainz, whether in the old town by the cathedral, on the riverfront or in a district out towards Budenheim. You get in with your luggage and skip the trip to the main station.

We set the pick-up time around your departure and the traffic across the Rhine bridges. Your journey begins relaxed at your own front door rather than on a platform.

Arriving at your departure terminal

At the airport your driver takes you straight to the correct departure terminal, in Frankfurt usually Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. You stand with your luggage right at the entrance to check-in.

From there you reach your airline's desks within a few minutes. The manageable run from Mainz usually leaves plenty of time for a calm start to your travel day.

Mainz at a glance

Mainz is the city of Johannes Gutenberg, whose invention of printing is honoured to this day at the Gutenberg Museum. The Romanesque Mainz Cathedral, the glowing Chagall windows in St. Stephan's Church and the exuberant Fastnacht carnival all shape the city's image.

Set on the Rhine in the heart of the Rheinhessen wine region, Mainz is also a river-cruise port and the home of the ZDF broadcaster. Many travellers from here are wine lovers, media professionals or visitors to the historic old town.

Travel tips for the trip from Mainz

Because the route crosses the Rhine bridges and the Frankfurter Kreuz, we allow a little more buffer at peak times. Give us your flight number and the pick-up time will fit your departure precisely.

If you are setting off before a river cruise or travelling from the riverfront, give the mooring as your pick-up address. Your driver knows the approaches along the bank.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Budenheim (43 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 Mainz?

Your own car means several days of expensive airport parking and returning to a cold vehicle. The train and S-Bahn from Mainz are cheap but require changing with luggage and fixed timetables, while a taxi only reveals the fare at the destination. The fixed-price transfer collects you at your Mainz address and takes you without any changes to the terminal, for an amount known at the time of booking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Mainz to Frankfurt Airport takes about 33 minutes for 38 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Mainz for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Mainz about 2 h 48 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 3 h 48 min for long-haul. That is 33 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 Mainz to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 38 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 Mainz. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Mainz.

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