Route facts

The route to Frankfurt Airport

From Reutlingen to Frankfurt Airport it is around 230 kilometres, for which we allow roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes. The drive first passes through the Stuttgart area, then heads north on the A8 and A5 past Karlsruhe and Mannheim into the Rhine-Main region.

The fixed price is set before departure and does not change because of congestion around Stuttgart or a later arrival.

Pickup in Reutlingen

Your driver collects you directly at your address in Reutlingen, whether in the centre near the Marienkirche, at the foot of the Achalm hill or in a neighbouring town such as Pfullingen or Eningen unter Achalm. He arrives at the agreed time and stows your luggage.

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 spares you the change in Stuttgart and the walk from the long-distance station to check-in.

Getting to know Reutlingen

Reutlingen lies at the foot of the Swabian Alb, crowned by the cone-shaped Achalm hill, and serves as a gateway to the walking trails along the Alb escarpment. Its old town holds the Gothic Marienkirche, and the Spreuerhofstraße is recognised as the narrowest street in the world – a curious Guinness World Records entry.

The city looks back on a long tradition as a textile and tanning centre that still shapes its streetscape today.

Travel tips for your airport transfer

As the route runs through the often congested greater Stuttgart area, early flights reward a generous time buffer. If you set off from Reutlingen during rush hour, choose an earlier pickup time accordingly.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Eningen unter Achalm (234 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 Reutlingen?

The train from Reutlingen requires a change in Stuttgart and the walk to the terminal with your own luggage, whereas the fixed-price transfer takes you from your door without a switch. A taxi over 230 kilometres runs on an open meter, and a rental car means airport parking fees for the whole trip – with the transfer you know the price in advance.

Option Duration Changes Luggage Price
Transfer (fixed price) recommended ~151 min 0 included fixed, known upfront
Taxi (meter) ~151 min 0 included variable, after the ride
Train / public transit self-carry per person
Rental car 0 + FRA parking
Timing

When to set off from Reutlingen

For the 230 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 151 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 30 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Reutlingen about 5 h 1 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 6 h 1 min.

You do not have to do that arithmetic yourself. Enter your departure time and address and the booking form proposes the pickup time — driving time, buffer and terminal lead are already inside it. If you would rather leave earlier, overwrite the suggestion.

In the other direction the arithmetic disappears anyway: for an airport pickup the time hangs on your flight number, not the clock. Your driver tracks the actual landing, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown are included.

What's included

What the price covers on this route

The fixed price for Reutlingen – Frankfurt Airport covers all 230 km, plus tolls and road charges en route, the airport access and short-stay parking at pickup. What you pay is settled before you book — there is no meter and no surcharge that only appears as you get out.

The price is independent of the clock as well. The same route costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon, the same on public holidays as on working days, and there is no demand surcharge during trade fairs. The only things that move it are ones you choose: a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class, or the return leg.

Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation; our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. Pets travel when the species and size are noted at booking, and guide and assistance dogs with no notice and no surcharge.

How much is a transfer from Reutlingen to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 230 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.

What does the fixed price include?

It covers the 230 km drive, tolls and road charges en route, airport fees, and 15 minutes of waiting at the pickup address in Reutlingen. The price only moves for things you choose yourself — a stop along the way, a larger vehicle class or a return leg — and each is shown in the form before you confirm.

Does the ride cost more at night or on public holidays?

The fixed price applies whatever the clock says: Reutlingen – Frankfurt Airport costs the same at three in the morning as on a Wednesday afternoon. There is no night, weekend or holiday surcharge, and no demand pricing during trade fairs. Booking and driving run 24/7.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?

The sedan classes take 4 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 12 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 Reutlingen. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Reutlingen.

Transfer or train from Reutlingen?

The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 230 km in about 151 minutes with no changes and ends at your address rather than a station; travelling alone with hand luggage and a good connection, the train is often the better call.

Can I travel with a dog or a cat?

Pets are welcome. State the species and size when booking so the right vehicle class is dispatched for Reutlingen — small animals travel in a carrier in the footwell, larger dogs in the load area of a van. Guide dogs and assistance dogs travel in every vehicle, with no advance notice and no surcharge.

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.

Can I book this transfer for someone else?

The booking runs in the passenger's name rather than the payer's — your guest, client or family member is collected at the given address in Reutlingen. Payment and the receipt stay with you. Add the passenger's flight number and mobile so flight tracking and contact both work.

Who is the service for?

Every passenger is welcome — regardless of background, gender, identity or orientation. Our drivers are explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly: couples, families of every shape, women travelling alone and guests who need assistance are driven with exactly the same matter-of-factness as anyone else. Discretion is part of a chauffeur service in any case.

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