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.

When to set off from Schwabing-Freimann
For the 390 km to Frankfurt your driver allows around 239 minutes of actual driving plus roughly 50 minutes of buffer for rush hour, roadworks and the terminal approach. To make a Schengen flight, that means leaving Schwabing-Freimann about 6 h 49 min before departure; for long-haul and non-Schengen, about 7 h 49 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 the price covers on this route
The fixed price for Schwabing-Freimann – Frankfurt Airport covers all 390 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 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.
What does the fixed price include?
It covers the 390 km drive, tolls and road charges en route, airport fees, and 15 minutes of waiting at the pickup address in Schwabing-Freimann. 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: Schwabing-Freimann – 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 Schwabing-Freimann. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Schwabing-Freimann.
Transfer or train from Schwabing-Freimann?
The train is cheaper per person, the transfer per vehicle — with two travellers and luggage the comparison usually flips. The transfer covers the 390 km in about 239 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 Schwabing-Freimann — 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 Schwabing-Freimann. 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 Schwabing-Freimann 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
