The route to Frankfurt Airport
From Nuremberg to Frankfurt Airport it is around 228 kilometres, for which we allow roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes. The drive runs almost the whole way along the A3 heading west, past Fürth, Erlangen and Würzburg, before descending through the Spessart hills into the Rhine-Main region.
The fixed price is agreed before you set off and does not change if traffic backs up at the Frankfurter Kreuz interchange or the journey runs long.
Pickup in Nuremberg
Your driver collects you directly at your address in Nuremberg, whether in the old town below the Imperial Castle, in the Gostenhof quarter or in a suburb such as Oberasbach. He arrives at the agreed time and loads your luggage, so you begin the journey without any detour via Nuremberg central station.
Arriving at the terminal
At Frankfurt Airport your driver drops you right at the departure terminal – Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline. That saves you the walk from the long-distance station to check-in, and you reach the desk without a single change.
Getting to know Nuremberg
Nuremberg is the quiet capital of Franconia and wears its history openly: the largely intact city walls, the Imperial Castle above the rooftops and the Albrecht Dürer house define the old town. The city is equally known for its Nuremberg bratwurst, its Lebkuchen gingerbread and the Christkindlesmarkt that draws visitors from around the world each December.
As a mooring point for river cruises along the Main-Danube Canal, Nuremberg is also the starting point for many longer journeys.
Travel tips for your airport transfer
For early-morning flights this long route rewards a generous time buffer, as the A3 through the Spessart can slow during rush hour. Travellers leaving the NürnbergMesse trade fair grounds or a river cruise benefit from having luggage and connection times planned in from the outset.

Transfer, taxi or train from Nuremberg?
The train requires a change in Nuremberg and often another in Frankfurt, with your luggage in tow, whereas the fixed-price transfer takes you from your door to the terminal without a single switch. A taxi over 228 kilometres runs on an open meter, and a rental car means airport parking fees for your whole trip – with the transfer you know the price in advance.

How long does the transfer from Nuremberg to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Nuremberg to Frankfurt Airport takes about 152 minutes for 228 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Nuremberg for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Nuremberg about 5 h 2 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 6 h 2 min for long-haul. That is 152 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 Nuremberg to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 228 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 Nuremberg. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Nuremberg.
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 Nuremberg 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
