Route facts

The route from Prien am Chiemsee to Frankfurt Airport

Prien am Chiemsee lies about 489 kilometres from Frankfurt Airport, a drive of just under five hours. The car leaves town on the B 305 and joins the A 8 towards Munich at the Bernau am Chiemsee junction.

After the A 99 ring the A 9 runs north, then the A 3 takes over at Nuremberg, passing Würzburg and crossing the Spessart hills to reach the Frankfurt airport interchange.

Pickup in Prien and around the lake

We collect you at your address, whether a hotel in the centre, a holiday flat down towards Stock harbour or a house in Rimsting or Breitbrunn. The driver is at the door at the agreed time and loads the luggage.

Early departures from Frankfurt mean leaving the Chiemsee well before sunrise. The pickup time is calculated back from your flight, with a margin for commuter traffic on the A 8 before Munich.

Arriving at the departure terminal

The car stops on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline, and cases, sailing bags or golf luggage come out at the kerb.

Check-in is a short walk from there. Instead of hauling bags across a platform in Munich, the journey starts calmly at your own door in Prien.

About Prien am Chiemsee

Prien is the main town on the western shore of the Chiemsee, the lake Bavarians call their sea. A historic steam tramway runs from the station down to Stock harbour, where the boats leave for the Herreninsel and the Fraueninsel.

The Herreninsel holds Ludwig II's unfinished palace of Herrenchiemsee; the Fraueninsel has an abbey with centuries of history. Add sailing and windsurfing on the water and the Chiemgau Alps behind, with the distinctive Kampenwand ridge to the south.

Tips for this journey

On summer weekends and during school holidays the A 8 between Salzburg and Munich is one of the busiest stretches in Bavaria, so we deliberately set the pickup earlier. Mention sailing gear or bicycles when you book.

If your party is spread across the lake, extra stops in Rimsting or Breitbrunn can be arranged in advance. The fixed price is settled beforehand and does not move for traffic or the hour of day.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Rimsting (492 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 Prien am Chiemsee?

Prien does sit on the Munich to Salzburg main line, but the rail trip to Frankfurt still means a change at Munich Hauptbahnhof, luggage across the platform and a total travel time well above the road journey. A taxi would meter all 489 kilometres and has to cover its empty return. A hire car brings a one-way fee, five hours at the wheel and a search for airport parking. The fixed-price transfer runs without a change from your address by the lake to the departures level, at a figure known when you book.

How early should I leave Prien am Chiemsee for Frankfurt Airport?

How much is a transfer from Prien am Chiemsee to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 489 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 Prien am Chiemsee. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Prien am Chiemsee.

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