Route facts

The route: NürnbergMesse to Frankfurt Airport

From the exhibition grounds in Nuremberg-Langwasser to the terminal kerb at Frankfurt Airport is about 241 kilometres, allowing a good two and a half hours. The drive first joins the ring road via the Nuremberg-Fischbach exit or the Frankenschnellweg, then turns west onto the A 3.

The A 3 passes Fürth and Erlangen, continues over Würzburg and Wertheim and climbs into the Spessart hills. Beyond Aschaffenburg it reaches the Rhine-Main area, where the slip road at the Frankfurter Kreuz leads straight to the terminals.

Pickup at the exhibition grounds

Your driver collects you at the entrance you agree in advance, be it Eingang Mitte, Eingang Ost or one of the NCC congress centres. On busy show days a fixed meeting point is far more reliable than hunting for a car in the crowd.

Pickup at your hotel in Langwasser, in the old town or in surrounding places such as Feucht, Stein and Wendelstein works just as well. Sample cases, roll-ups and trade-fair luggage are accounted for if you mention them when booking.

Arriving at the departure terminal

At the airport the car stops on the departures level, outside Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on your airline. After a long day on the stand that leaves only a few metres to the check-in desk.

Anyone flying out the same evening avoids the change from ICE to terminal shuttle entirely. Stand crews with bulky material benefit most, since everything stays in the vehicle until it is checked in.

NürnbergMesse and the Langwasser site

The exhibition centre in the south of Nuremberg ranks among the larger European venues and has its own underground station, Messe, on the U1 line. It hosts the Spielwarenmesse toy fair, BIOFACH, embedded world, IWA OutdoorClassics and FachPack, among others.

Right next door lie the Dutzendteich lakes, the former Nazi party rally grounds with their documentation centre, and the football stadium. Nuremberg's old town, with the Imperial Castle, the Hauptmarkt and the craftsmen's courtyard, is only a few U-Bahn stops away.

Tips for this journey

On dismantling days, lorries and freight traffic clog the access roads in Langwasser, so it pays to set the pickup time generously. On the A 3 the Spessart section between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg is the classic bottleneck.

For departures on the closing day of a fair, book the pickup before the general stand teardown begins. Name your hall and entrance when booking so the driver waits on the right side of the site.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Nuremberg (228 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 NürnbergMesse?

A metered taxi from Langwasser bills all 241 kilometres, and on a show evening you compete with hundreds of other exhibitors for the same car at the rank. The ICE from Nuremberg main station is fast, but first comes the U-Bahn ride from the fairground, then sorting luggage on the platform, then the walk from the airport long-distance station to the terminal. A rental car ties you to return times and parking charges, while this fixed-price transfer waits at the agreed entrance and sets you down outside the departure hall.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from NürnbergMesse to Frankfurt Airport takes about 159 minutes for 241 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave NürnbergMesse for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave NürnbergMesse about 5 h 9 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 9 min for long-haul. That is 159 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 NürnbergMesse to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 241 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 NürnbergMesse. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for NürnbergMesse.

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