Route facts

The route: Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport

It is around 197 kilometres from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport, a drive of roughly two hours and ten minutes. The B 27 and B 10 lift you out of the city basin onto the A 81 heading north.

At Heilbronn the route joins the A 6, continues past Mannheim onto the A 67 and finally the A 5, ending at the Frankfurter Kreuz where the airport slip road branches off straight away.

Pick-up at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof

Your driver waits at the agreed set-down area at the main station. Access arrangements there shift with the construction works, so he messages you the exact meeting point in advance.

We also collect from the hotels around the station, from the Königstraße and Schlossplatz area, and from addresses in Fellbach, Ostfildern, Kornwestheim or Ditzingen.

Arriving at Frankfurt Airport

We pull up on the departures level at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, depending on your airline, and your luggage is beside you seconds later.

Passengers who would otherwise take a feeder flight from Stuttgart and connect in Frankfurt skip that transfer entirely and start the journey at the long-haul terminal itself.

Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof: the Bonatz building and the basin city

With its Bonatz building and the rotating Mercedes star on the tower, Stuttgart's main station is one of the city's landmarks, and it has spent years being rebuilt as an underground through station under the Stuttgart 21 project.

Königstraße, the city's shopping axis, starts at its door and leads to Schlossplatz and the Neues Schloss. All around, Stuttgart climbs the slopes of its wooded, vine-covered basin, and anyone here for the car industry finds the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Untertürkheim and the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen only minutes away.

Tips for the drive to Frankfurt

Getting out of the basin is the slowest part of the morning; after that the A 81 usually flows. Conditions tighten again near the Walldorf interchange and around Mannheim, where roadworks are common.

Since Stuttgart has an airport of its own, this journey is nearly always about a long-haul flight or a specific connection from Frankfurt, so allow for the longer check-in times intercontinental departures require.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Korntal-Münchingen (191 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 Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof?

The ICE from Stuttgart to the airport's long-distance station is fast, but it assumes you catch the right train with your luggage and can replan yourself if the service is disrupted. A metered taxi counts for the full two hours over 197 kilometres. A rental car adds a fuel stop, a drop-off desk and a walk to the terminal. The fixed-price transfer picks you up at the main station, runs through to the departures level without a change, and costs exactly what was confirmed at booking.

How early should I leave Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof for Frankfurt Airport?

How much is a transfer from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 197 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 Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof.

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