Route facts

The route: Rastatt to Frankfurt Airport

Rastatt to Frankfurt Airport is about 155 kilometres, planned at roughly 102 minutes of driving. A short run on the B 43 puts you on the A 5, which heads north through the Upper Rhine plain past Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe.

Further north the A 6 and A 67 carry the route through the Mannheim area before the A 5 resumes along the Bergstraße and runs into the Frankfurter Kreuz. Almost the whole distance is motorway, with only the opening kilometres on a main road.

Pickup in Rastatt

Your driver collects you at your address – the town centre around the residential palace, or the districts of Niederbühl, Ottersdorf, Plittersdorf and Rauental. Company addresses in the industrial area and hotels near the station work just as well.

For colleagues coming in from the surrounding area we also pick up in Ötigheim, Kuppenheim, Muggensturm or Bietigheim. The meeting point is fixed beforehand so nothing has to be improvised at five in the morning.

Arriving at the terminal

You are dropped on the departures level: Terminal 1 for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partners, Terminal 3 for the airlines handled there. Luggage comes out of the car right at the entrance.

Because the A 5 feeds straight into the airport interchange, there is no city driving at the end of the trip – just the airport approach road between motorway and check-in hall.

About Rastatt

Rastatt lies between the river Murg and the Rhine at the edge of the northern Black Forest, and owes its townscape to Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm of Baden, known as Türkenlouis: the Rastatt residential palace was the first baroque residence on the Upper Rhine. The palace now houses the military history museum and a memorial to Germany's freedom movements, recalling the Baden revolution of 1849.

Just outside town stands Schloss Favorite, the pleasure palace of Margravine Sibylla Augusta. In economic terms the Mercedes-Benz plant dominates today, and the Iffezheim racecourse with its famous race weeks is only a few kilometres away.

Tips for this run

The A 5 between Karlsruhe and Mannheim is heavy going in weekday rush hours and on holiday weekends, so the journey time is calculated with reserve. The interchanges around Mannheim can add minutes of their own.

During the Iffezheim race meetings and the Baden-Baden festival season the whole area carries more traffic, which argues for an earlier pickup. Departures before eight simply mean collecting you in the dark – routine on this route.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Kuppenheim (158 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 Rastatt?

By rail, Rastatt means a local service to Karlsruhe or Mannheim, a change onto a long-distance train and then the walk from the airport's rail station to the terminal – two changes with luggage, each a risk to the flight if something slips. A metered taxi runs 155 kilometres and drives back to the Murg empty. A rental car adds fuel, a return desk and a shuttle before check-in. A fixed-price transfer is agreed before you book, reaches your front door, and ends on the departures level.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The drive from Rastatt to Frankfurt Airport takes about 102 minutes for 155 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 20 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.

How early should I leave Rastatt for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Rastatt about 4 h 2 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 5 h 2 min for long-haul. That is 102 minutes of driving, 20 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 Rastatt to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 155 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 Rastatt. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Rastatt.

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