At a glance
What you get with a Frankfurt airport transfer
Frankfurt Airport sits about 12 km south-west of the city centre, beside the Frankfurter Kreuz, where the A3 and A5 motorways meet. Since June 2026 only two of its terminals take passengers. Lufthansa is in Terminal 1, and the new Terminal 3 on the south side took over every airline that used to fly from Terminal 2. We arrange a pre-booked private transfer with a named chauffeur, track your flight and wait 30 minutes from its actual arrival time, and you see the full quote before you pay.
- Your chauffeur waits 30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time.
- A full quote before you pay, usually within two hours, reflecting distance, vehicle class, add-ons and any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges.
- Pay online by secure payment link or bank transfer, and your booking is confirmed once paid. Any road or airport charge that applies to your journey is either included in the quote or shown in it as an extra. Waiting beyond the included time may carry a charge.
- Changes and cancellations up to 48 hours before your flight under the standard policy, less any costs already incurred; a few airports and services differ.
- Three classes of service, each available as a sedan, SUV or van.
- Since a 2011 court ruling, scheduled flights have been banned at Frankfurt between 11pm and 5am. The free SkyLine train between the terminals runs from 4am to 11pm, and shuttle buses cover the night.

What your quote depends on
Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
How far into the region you are going
The city centre is about 12 km from the airport, but your drop-off may be much further out in the region. The quote is built around your drop-off address, so the further you travel, the more it changes.
Landing close to the night-flight ban
Scheduled flights are banned at Frankfurt between 11pm and 5am, so if you are booked on a late-evening or early-morning flight, check the time closely. Any late-night charge that applies is written into the quote before you pay.
Border queues for non-EU passports
The EU Entry/Exit System takes fingerprints and a facial image from non-EU visitors, and Frankfurt Airport warns it may lengthen waits at border control. The 30-minute wait runs from your flight’s actual arrival time, not from when you clear the border. Waiting beyond that can carry an additional charge.
One journey or a day on call
Messe Frankfurt says the exhibition grounds are about 15 minutes from the airport by car. For a fair day with several stops, an hourly chauffeur may suit you better than separate point-to-point journeys. The quote reflects the service you choose, the class and the vehicle, from sedan to van.
When you land
Landing at Frankfurt
Frankfurt is now a two-terminal airport, and the terminal on your ticket matters more than it used to. Terminal 1 is next to both railway stations. Terminal 3 lies south of it, on the south side of the airport, and has its own motorway link. This is what happens between touchdown and the kerb.

01
Before you land
Check your terminal. Terminal 2 closed on 9 June 2026, and every airline that used it moved to Terminal 3. The airport lists Emirates, Qatar Airways and Gulf Air in Terminal 3, and Lufthansa checks in at Terminal 1, Hall A. Send us your flight number so we can track it. Keep your voucher to hand, and your chauffeur is named before pickup.

02
Border control
Flights from within the Schengen area usually have no passport check. On flights from outside it, non-EU visitors on short stays are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, which takes fingerprints and a facial image. Frankfurt is adding self-service kiosks in stages and warns that waits may increase. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens aged 12 and over can use the EasyPASS gates with an electronic passport. US citizens can use them too, but only after registering for the EasyPASS-RTP programme.

03
Baggage
In Terminal 1, baggage reclaim is on the ground-floor arrivals level, below the check-in floor. Terminal 1's Pier A-Plus alone is 800 metres long. In Terminal 3, Pier J, built for flights from outside Schengen, is 600 metres long and has moving walkways and an extra level for arriving passengers. Either way, expect a walk before you reach the belts.

04
Meeting your chauffeur
Go to where the booking desk has told you to meet. If you land at a different terminal from the one on your booking, call the booking desk, which answers 24 hours a day. The free SkyLine links Terminals 1 and 3 in just under eight minutes from 4am to 11pm. From 10pm to 5am, shuttle buses run between the terminals' arrivals forecourts.

05
On the way
The airport sits beside the Frankfurter Kreuz, where the A3 and A5 meet. Terminal 3 has its own link to the A5 through the enlarged Zeppelinheim interchange. The city centre is about 12 km to the north-east, and Frankfurt Airport says a taxi to or from the city takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
Frankfurt's terminals in 2026
Terminal 1
The oldest and largest terminal, opened in 1972, with concourses A, B, C and Z. Lufthansa checks in at Hall A. The regional S-Bahn station is on the lower level, and the long-distance ICE station is about five minutes' walk away.
Terminal 3
Opened on 23 April 2026 on the south side of the airport, with piers G, H and J. Pier G handles both Schengen and non-Schengen flights, Pier H handles Schengen flights and Pier J handles flights from outside Schengen. There is a bus station on the arrivals level and a drop-off and pick-up zone in front of the building.
Terminal 2
Closed to passengers since 9 June 2026 for a refurbishment that Fraport expects to finish in the mid-2030s. The SkyLine still runs through it and the terminal connections stay open, but it no longer handles passengers.
Rail links
S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 run between the regional station and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in about 12 minutes, roughly every 10 minutes. From Terminal 3, the SkyLine to either railway station takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
These terminal details come from what Fraport and Frankfurt Airport had published as of September 2026, and they can change. Check the terminal on your ticket before you travel.
FRA
Frankfurt Airport (FRA)
Lufthansa's main hub and the sixth-busiest airport in Europe, with about 61.6 million passengers in 2024. It lies 12 km south-west of central Frankfurt, beside the Frankfurter Kreuz where the A3 and A5 motorways meet. It has an S-Bahn station beneath Terminal 1 and a separate long-distance station for ICE trains. Scheduled flights have been banned between 11pm and 5am since a 2011 court ruling.
Terminals Two passenger terminals are open: Terminal 1, with concourses A, B, C and Z, and the new Terminal 3 on the south side, with piers G, H and J, which opened in April 2026. Terminal 2 closed for refurbishment on 9 June 2026. When you ask for a quote, tell us which terminal your airline lists.

Questions
Frankfurt airport transfer questions
Which terminal will I arrive at in Frankfurt?
Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. Terminal 2 closed for refurbishment on 9 June 2026 and all of its airlines moved to Terminal 3, so older guides and bookings may still say Terminal 2. The airport's airline listings show Emirates, Qatar Airways and Gulf Air in Terminal 3, and Lufthansa and Air India in Terminal 1. Give us your flight number and we will track it. The booking desk tells you where to meet.
How long will my chauffeur wait when I land in Frankfurt?
30 minutes from your flight's actual arrival time, not the scheduled time, because the flight is tracked. Waiting beyond 30 minutes can carry an additional charge, and a passenger who has not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted is treated as a no-show. At Frankfurt, non-EU visitors are registered in the Entry/Exit System at border control, and the airport warns this may lengthen waits. Keep your phone on, and if you are held up, contact the booking desk, which answers 24 hours a day.
My ticket says Frankfurt-Hahn. Is that the same airport?
No. Hahn Airport (HHN) was marketed for years as Frankfurt-Hahn and renamed simply Hahn Airport in 2023. It is in Rhineland-Palatinate, about 120 km by road from Frankfurt. Check the three-letter code on your ticket before you ask for a quote: FRA is Frankfurt Airport.
Wouldn't the S-Bahn be quicker?
Sometimes. S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 run between the regional station beneath Terminal 1 and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof in about 12 minutes, roughly every 10 minutes. If you land at Terminal 3, you first need the SkyLine, which takes around 10 to 15 minutes to reach the stations. A private transfer takes you and your luggage door to door, which helps most when you are going somewhere other than the main station.
Can I go straight from the airport to Messe Frankfurt?
Yes. Messe Frankfurt says the exhibition grounds are about 15 minutes from the airport by car, arriving at the City Entrance/Festhalle, Galleria or Portalhaus entrances. Tell us which entrance you need when you ask for a quote. For a fair day with several stops, an hourly chauffeur is an alternative to separate journeys.
Can I change or cancel a Frankfurt booking?
Yes, up to 48 hours before your flight under the standard policy; a few airports and services differ. Any costs already incurred are deducted. If your return flight leaves from a different Frankfurt terminal from the one you arrived at, tell us when you book the departure transfer.
Waiting time, changes, cancellations and refunds are set out in full in our Terms & Conditions.
