Frankfurt → Frankfurt city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to Frankfurt city centre costs €55 per car for 1–3 passengers and €80 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 17 km via A 5; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Frankfurt airport is about 12 km south-west of the city centre, linked by the A3 and A5 motorways and the B43. The drive takes 20 to 25 minutes outside the rush hour. The Frankfurter Kreuz interchange next to the airport is one of the busiest in Germany and slows traffic on weekdays. Frankfurt has a low-emission zone covering the inner city, and fair days at the Messe Frankfurt bring full hotels and heavy traffic.

Central Frankfurt is small. The Hauptbahnhof and the Bahnhofsviertel lie on the west edge, the Römer old town square and the Main riverfront in the middle, and the Zeil shopping street leads north-east to the Hauptwache. The financial district with the skyscrapers lies between the station and the Römer. Sachsenhausen, south of the river, has the museum embankment and the apple-wine taverns. The Römerberg and the Zeil are pedestrian areas, so the car stops at the nearest open street.

Public transport instead: RMV / DB Regio train S8, S9 from Frankfurt Flughafen Regionalbahnhof (below Terminal 1) to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof — about 14 min, every 15 minutes or better (S8 and S9 combined).
