Frankfurt Airport Pick-Up: Taxi Rank, Ride-Hailing or Pre-Booked Driver?

Short answer: At Frankfurt Airport (FRA) you have three ways to leave the terminal by car: a taxi from the rank (metered), a ride-hailing app (price set by the app), or a pre-booked driver who meets you in arrivals at a fixed price agreed in advance. With AT Rides & Tours that fixed price starts at €35 per car to Frankfurt city centre.

Which terminal are you arriving at?

Frankfurt Airport has three terminals. According to Fraport, all airlines that operated from Terminal 2 are now located in the new Terminal 3. Check your ticket or your airline’s website for your terminal and tell us when you book – that is where your driver will meet you.

• Terminal 1 has the airport’s railway stations.
• Terminal 3 has no railway station of its own. The free SkyLine train connects it with Terminal 1; Fraport says it runs from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. every 2 to 3 minutes, with a shuttle bus outside these hours.
• Terminal 3 has a drop-off and pick-up zone directly in front of the terminal and its bus station on the arrivals level.

How a pre-booked pickup works

1. Book online, by WhatsApp or by phone and add your flight number and terminal. The online form shows the fixed price before you confirm.
2. Your pickup follows the actual landing time.
3. After baggage claim, your driver contacts you by phone or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point in arrivals.
4. Pay the driver in cash, or pay by card when you book online.
