Route facts

The route: Messe München to Frankfurt Airport

It is 406 kilometres from the halls in Riem to Frankfurt Airport, and we allow around 4 hours 10 minutes for the drive. Your driver leaves the exhibition grounds via the A94, joins the A99 ring road and turns north onto the A9.

Past Ingolstadt and Nuremberg the route switches to the A3, which runs through Würzburg and the Spessart hills into the Rhine-Main area. This is the classic Munich-Frankfurt trade fair corridor: well built, but noticeably busier on the closing days of big shows, which is why we time your pickup around stand dismantling rather than the flight schedule alone.

Pickup at the exhibition grounds

We collect you where you actually are: Entrance East or West, the ICM, the gate of your own hall, or your hotel in Messestadt. Tell us the hall and entrance number and the car waits exactly there rather than somewhere out on the ring road.

Trade fair luggage is rarely a single suitcase. Sample cases, roll-ups and display boxes go into the booking notes so the vehicle is big enough and nothing has to be left behind after the stand comes down.

Arriving at the terminal in Frankfurt

At Frankfurt Airport we drive straight to the departures level of your terminal, either Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on your airline. The driver stops at the kerb, helps with the bags and points you to the right check-in row.

For exhibitors on an evening long-haul flight that means one ride, one stop and no changing trains with stand material. If your connection is tight, allow for Frankfurt's late-afternoon commuter traffic; we build that buffer in when you book.

About Messe München

Messe München sits in Riem on the eastern edge of the city, on the site of Munich's former airport, and its halls A to C plus the ICM congress centre make it one of Europe's largest exhibition venues. bauma, ISPO, IFAT, electronica and BAU bring exhibitors here from all over the world.

Haar, Feldkirchen, Aschheim and Putzbrunn ring the site — municipalities in the district of München where many exhibitors stay when the city hotels sell out during a fair. We pick up there too, without a detour through the centre.

Practical notes for this transfer

Allow extra time on closing days: when thousands of exhibitors dismantle at once, traffic backs up around Messestadt long before the motorway begins. Booking a pickup 30 minutes earlier costs nothing and removes most of the stress.

Give us your flight number and departure time and we work backwards from it, including the roadworks that regularly appear on the Spessart section of the A3. The price is fixed at booking whether the traffic is heavy or clear.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Feldkirchen (404 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 Messe München?

A metered taxi over 406 kilometres to Frankfurt is the most expensive and least predictable option here, since it bills by distance and waiting time. The train from München Hbf to Frankfurt Airport's long-distance station is fast, but it first demands an S-Bahn or U2 ride out of Messestadt with full trade fair luggage, and a delay leaves little slack before check-in. A rental car still puts a garage return and a shuttle back to the terminal at the end of a four-hour drive. The fixed-price transfer collects you at your hall and sets you down on the departures level: one vehicle, one driver, one price known in advance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Messe München to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Messe München to Frankfurt Airport takes about 250 minutes for 406 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 50 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Messe München for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Messe München about 7 hours before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 8 hours for long-haul. That is 250 minutes of driving, 50 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 Messe München to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 406 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 Messe München. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Messe München.

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