Route facts

The route from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport

From Bahnhofsplatz to Frankfurt Airport is about 231 kilometres, and we allow roughly 153 minutes. The drive runs out past Fürth and Erlangen onto the A 3, which heads west through Franconian wine country, past Würzburg and on across the Spessart hills into the Rhine-Main area.

The stretch between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg is the prettiest and the trickiest at once: heavy goods traffic bunches on the long Spessart climb, so when departure times are tight we build in a buffer.

Pickup at Bahnhofsplatz

Your driver waits at Bahnhofsplatz 9, directly opposite the Königstor and the old city wall. Because the forecourt is partly organised into bus and taxi lanes, we confirm the exact stopping point beforehand so nobody has to go looking.

The journey can equally start at your hotel in the old town, in Gostenhof, or out in Langwasser near the NürnbergMesse. Put the address in the booking and the fixed price applies wherever in the city you are.

Arriving at the terminal in Frankfurt

We drop you at the forecourt of the terminal your airline departs from, Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. For long-haul connections that is the simplest possible end to a two-and-a-half-hour drive: step out, take your case, check in.

No long-distance station, no Skyline shuttle, no parking deck – not even for a six o'clock departure.

Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof: the city wall across the square

The station is one of the largest through stations in Germany and stands right in front of the medieval fortifications; walk out of the exit and you are looking at the Königstor tower, with Königstraße leading straight into the old town. Just inside the gate lies the Handwerkerhof, a cluster of small craft workshops.

From here it is minutes to the Hauptmarkt with the Schöner Brunnen fountain, up to the Kaiserburg castle above the rooftops, and across to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. In Advent the Hauptmarkt becomes the Christkindlesmarkt, and the station forecourt turns into the busiest address in Franconia.

Tips for the drive to Frankfurt

During fairs at Langwasser – the Spielwarenmesse toy fair or BIOFACH, for instance – airport runs are booked out early; reserving the transfer at the same time as the flight takes the problem off the table.

In winter, keep the Spessart in mind: the road climbs well above the Main valley and can slow noticeably in snow. For early-morning flights we then set the pickup correspondingly earlier.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to NürnbergMesse (241 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof?

ICE trains from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof are fast, but you need the service that actually calls at the airport's long-distance station and then a walk to your terminal – the unpleasant part with heavy luggage or at dawn. A taxi over 231 kilometres runs on the meter, with the Spessart climb having a say in the total; our price is set at booking. A rental car brings a one-way fee, a fuel stop and a car-park return – the transfer takes you from your front door to the terminal forecourt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the transfer from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport take?

The drive from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport takes about 153 minutes for 231 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof about 5 h 3 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 3 min for long-haul. That is 153 minutes of driving, 30 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 231 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Nürnberg 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 Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
