Route facts

From Munich Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport

Munich Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport is around 400 kilometres, a drive of roughly four hours and 15 minutes. The route leaves the city centre onto the A9 towards Ingolstadt and Nuremberg, then continues on the A3 through Lower Franconia to the Frankfurter Kreuz.

The unpredictable parts are getting out of Munich via the Mittlerer Ring or the A99 and passing the Nuremberg conurbation. That is why the driver sets the departure time at the station with a reserve rather than trusting the pure motorway estimate.

Pickup at the main station

We collect you right at Munich Hauptbahnhof, usually on Arnulfstraße or on the Bayerstraße side, depending on which exit you use. The exact meeting point is confirmed beforehand so nothing goes wrong in the traffic around the station forecourt.

The Hauptbahnhof has been under reconstruction for years and entrances and stopping areas keep shifting. Our drivers know the current layout and will name a pickup spot you can reach comfortably even with several suitcases.

Arriving at the departure terminal

In Frankfurt we stop on the departures level at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, according to your airline. The driver helps with the bags and check-in is only a few steps away.

Since the drive takes a good four hours, we plan the arrival with proper margin: about three hours before a long-haul flight, roughly two before an intra-European one.

Why travellers start from Munich Hauptbahnhof

Munich Hauptbahnhof is the city's central interchange, where long-distance trains from across southern Germany, the S-Bahn trunk line and regional services from the Oberland all converge. If you are coming in from Garmisch, the Chiemgau or the Allgäu, this is the easiest place to switch into a road transfer.

The area around the station is also dense with business hotels, and the Theresienwiese is only minutes away. During Oktoberfest and the big trade fairs, the Hauptbahnhof is simply the most obvious pickup address in Munich.

Tips for this connection

Munich has its own airport, but many long-haul and connecting itineraries only exist out of Frankfurt. If you are flying from FRA, schedule the transfer so it avoids the commuter peak on the A9 between Munich and Ingolstadt.

State the number of passengers and bags when booking. Stopping at the station forecourt is only permitted briefly, so the vehicle needs to be the right size from the outset.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Schwabing-Freimann (390 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 München Hauptbahnhof?

The ICE from Munich to Frankfurt Airport's long-distance station is fast, but it assumes you can carry your luggage across the platform at the Hauptbahnhof, find a seat, and manage your own flight risk if the train runs late. A metered taxi over 400 kilometres is open-ended, and a rental car means terminal return plus a one-way surcharge. The fixed-price transfer takes you and your bags from the station forecourt, runs straight through on the A9 and A3 to the departures kerb, and costs the same whether the road is clear or crawling.

How much is a transfer from München Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 400 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 München Hauptbahnhof. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for München Hauptbahnhof.

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