From Schwabing-Freimann to Frankfurt Airport
It is 390 kilometres and just under 4 hours from northern Munich to Frankfurt Airport. The car reaches the A9 via the Foehringer or Frankfurter Ring, leaves the city past Froettmaning and heads north through Ingolstadt.
At the Nuremberg interchange we join the A3, which runs west via Wuerzburg and Aschaffenburg across the Spessart to the Frankfurter Kreuz. The tricky part is not the motorway but the first half hour in Munich traffic, which is why we build a buffer into the pickup time.
Pickup in the borough
We collect you from your address, whether on Leopoldstrasse, around Muenchner Freiheit, in Alte Heide, in the Studentenstadt or further north in Freimann. The driver knows the loading restrictions and residents' zones in the district and stops where the bags can actually be loaded.
Company addresses in Unterfoehring, Ismaning or on the Garching research campus are common starting points too - a lot of regular Frankfurt flyers work there.
Arriving at the departure terminal
In Frankfurt we stop on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, matching your airline. After just under four hours on the road you step out a few metres from check-in.
Please give the flight number when booking; we set the pickup time and terminal from it and keep Munich rush hour in mind.
Schwabing-Freimann: the north of Munich
Munich's twelfth borough stretches from the cafes and boulevards of Schwabing far out to Freimann. Around 1900 Schwabing was the city's artists' quarter - Kandinsky and the Blaue Reiter, Thomas Mann and the satirical magazine Simplicissimus all belong to its history - and Leopoldstrasse is still the district's promenade.
A large part of the English Garden lies inside the borough, including the Kleinhesseloher See and the Chinese Tower, along with the Studentenstadt halls of residence and the Nordfriedhof. Further north in Froettmaning stands the Allianz Arena, with the media businesses of Unterfoehring and the Garching research campus close by.
Travel tips for this route
Munich has its own major airport, yet many long-haul routes and connections exist only from Frankfurt. For those flights a direct drive beats adding a feeder flight with its connection time and baggage risk.
During Oktoberfest, big trade fair dates and home matches at Froettmaning, the ring roads and the outbound A9 get heavy. We simply start earlier - the fixed price is unaffected.

Transfer, taxi or train from Schwabing-Freimann?
A taxi from Schwabing meters all 390 kilometres, and with Munich city traffic followed by the A9 the final figure is anyone's guess. The ICE from Munich Hauptbahnhof is fast, but first you have to take the U-Bahn into the centre with your luggage and then cross from Frankfurt's long-distance station to your terminal. A rental car means airport parking and a one-way hire fee that is rarely cheap. The fixed-price transfer runs from your door in Schwabing or Freimann to the terminal kerb, at a price agreed when you book.

How early should I leave Schwabing-Freimann for Frankfurt Airport?

How much is a transfer from Schwabing-Freimann to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 390 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 Schwabing-Freimann. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Schwabing-Freimann.
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 Schwabing-Freimann 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
