Route facts

The route from Trier Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport

From the station forecourt to the terminal is around 183 kilometres, normally about two hours and ten minutes. The A 602 lifts you out of the Mosel valley and joins the A 1 near Schweich.

Beyond Wittlich the B 50 carries the route across the Hunsrück uplands, including the high Mosel bridge above the vineyards near Bernkastel-Kues. The A 61, the A 60 through Rhenish Hesse past Bad Kreuznach, then the A 67 and A 5 lead to the Frankfurter Kreuz.

Pickup at the main station

Your driver waits on Bahnhofsplatz in front of the station building, the usual spot for meeting arriving passengers, and the exact meeting point is confirmed in advance so nobody is searching in the rain.

Passengers arriving on regional trains from Luxembourg, along the Mosel or from Saarbrücken transfer without an extra walk. If a feeder train is running late, the pickup time is adjusted.

Arriving at the departure terminal

Past the Frankfurter Kreuz the drive ends on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, according to your airline.

After a route that spends half its length on trunk roads over the Hunsrück, the kerbside is the easy part of the day: boot open, bags out, check-in in sight.

Trier Hauptbahnhof and Germany's oldest city

Trier's main station sits on the north-eastern edge of the centre, only a few minutes on foot from the Porta Nigra, the Roman city gate that made the town famous.

Trier claims the title of Germany's oldest city, and its Roman monuments – the imperial baths, the amphitheatre, the Constantine Basilica and the Roman bridge – carry UNESCO World Heritage status alongside the Cathedral of St Peter. Add the university, the Karl Marx House, and the vineyards of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer that begin in neighbouring villages such as Kasel and Mertesdorf.

Tips for this run

This is not a pure motorway trip. The B 50 section over the Hunsrück is well built but exposed, so fog or snow on the high ground argues for a more generous schedule.

Flights before eight in the morning mean a pickup in the middle of the night. If you have been staying in the Mosel wine villages, give that address instead of the station.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Trier Hauptbahnhof?

By rail, Trier connects to Frankfurt Airport via Koblenz or Saarbrücken with at least one change, and the winding Mosel line takes considerably longer than the road – scenic, but not quick. A metered taxi from the station forecourt is hard to estimate in advance across 183 kilometres of mixed motorway and trunk road. A rental car ends with a fuel stop and a return in a multi-storey car park exactly when you should be checking in. The fixed-price transfer collects you at the station, drives the whole distance without a change, and is fixed as a price before the first bank of fog appears on the Hunsrück.

How early should I leave Trier Hauptbahnhof for Frankfurt Airport?

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

The fixed price for the 183 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 Trier Hauptbahnhof. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Trier 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 Trier Hauptbahnhof 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
