Route facts

From Reichsburg Cochem to Frankfurt Airport

From the castle above Cochem to Frankfurt Airport is around 161 kilometres and about one hour 55. The car first descends the Schlossstraße into the town, then climbs the Endert valley onto the Eifel plateau and joins the A 48 towards Koblenz.

At the Dernbach interchange the A 3 takes over, running past Montabaur and Limburg an der Lahn and through the Taunus to the airport. Between the castle rock and the terminal you drop several hundred metres and change landscape entirely.

Pickup at the castle

Your driver collects you on the Schlossstraße below the castle, or directly at your hotel or apartment if you stayed down in Cochem. The path from the castle gate to the road is steep, so the driver handles the luggage.

The fare is fixed at booking, which is reassuring in particular when the departure falls before sunrise.

Arriving at the departure terminal

At the airport the exit leads straight off the A 3 onto the terminal approach. You stop on the departures level at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, whichever your airline uses.

Cases are carried to the entrance, leaving you only the last few metres to the desk.

The Reichsburg above the Moselle bend

The castle stands on a rocky spur roughly a hundred metres above the Moselle and has dominated the view of Cochem since the Middle Ages. Its origins reach back to the 11th century; in 1689 French troops destroyed it during the Nine Years' War, and it stayed a ruin for almost two centuries.

It was the Berlin merchant Louis Ravené who had it rebuilt in neo-Gothic style from 1868, which is why today's silhouette carries romantic 19th-century additions. The castle now belongs to the town of Cochem and is open through guided tours, medieval-style banquets and a Christmas market in the courtyard.

Tips for the departure

The access road to the castle is narrow and busy in season, so an agreed meeting point on the Schlossstraße usually saves more time than any shortcut. For early flights we allow for the fog that settles in the Moselle valley.

If you are taking regional wine home after your visit, check your airline's baggage rules first. Space in the car is never the constraint; space in the suitcase is.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Ediger-Eller (136 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 Reichsburg Cochem?

Travelling from the castle to the airport by rail means walking down into the town, taking a regional train to Koblenz, changing onto the Rhine line and moving luggage across several platforms. A taxi could cover the 161 kilometres, but the amount only builds up as you go. A rental car leaves you driving the hairpins out of the valley yourself and returning the vehicle in the airport car park. A fixed-price transfer collects you below the castle gate, runs to the departures level without a change, and has its amount confirmed long before you get in.

How much is a transfer from Reichsburg Cochem to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 161 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 Reichsburg Cochem. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Reichsburg Cochem.

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