The route from Mannheim to Frankfurt Airport
From Mannheim to Frankfurt Airport it is around 79 kilometres, a drive your chauffeur covers in about 59 minutes when the roads are clear. The route runs north via the A67 and A5 across the Rhine plain, past neighbouring Ludwigshafen on the far bank of the Rhine.

Pick-up at your Mannheim address
Your driver collects you directly at your address in Mannheim, whether in the Quadrate grid of the city centre, by the Water Tower or in a district towards the Neckar. Thanks to the clear grid of squares, your driver finds the address reliably, and you get in comfortably with your luggage.
We match the pick-up time to your departure and the roughly one-hour drive. That way you set off from your own door, with no changing and no need to watch train connections.
Arriving at your departure terminal
At the airport your driver sets you down at the correct departure terminal, in Frankfurt usually Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. You stand with your luggage right at the entrance to check-in. The same applies on the Mannheim ↔ Frankfurt Airport route.
From there it is only a few steps to your airline's desks. After the calm motorway drive from Mannheim, you arrive at the terminal rested.
Mannheim at a glance
Mannheim is unique as the Quadratestadt, where letters and numbers replace street names across its planned grid of squares. The Baroque palace is among the largest of its kind in Europe, and the Art Nouveau Water Tower is the city's emblem.
Set where the Rhine meets the Neckar, Mannheim is regarded as the birthplace of the automobile, for it was here that Carl Benz built his first motor car. Many travellers from here are on business, visiting the university or the National Theatre.
Travel tips for the trip from Mannheim
On this roughly one-hour drive we allow a little extra buffer for peak times at the Frankfurter Kreuz, so you can check in calmly. Give us your flight number and the pick-up time will fit precisely. The same applies on the Mannheim ↔ Frankfurt Airport route.
For the longer stretch a drink or something to read is worth bringing along. If you are travelling from a suburb such as Neuhofen or Altrip, simply give the exact address when booking.

Transfer, taxi or train from Mannheim?
With your own car you pay parking at the airport for the whole trip and drive the near hour yourself instead of sitting back. The ICE from Mannheim 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 Mannheim 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 Mannheim to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Mannheim to Frankfurt Airport takes about 59 minutes for 79 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 15 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Mannheim for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Mannheim about 3 h 14 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 4 h 14 min for long-haul. That is 59 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 Mannheim to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 79 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 Mannheim. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Mannheim.
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 Mannheim 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
