The official taxi rank at FRA uses metered fares that vary with traffic — a typical airport-to-city ride climbs to €55–65 with a luggage surcharge. By pre-booking with us you lock in €35, your driver tracks your flight automatically (no extra charge if delayed), and you skip the queue.

Is it cheaper to take the train from FRA to the city?
Yes — the S8/S9 S-Bahn costs €5.95 per person and reaches Hauptbahnhof in 11 minutes. But for 2+ travelers with luggage, a fixed €35 taxi is often more comfortable and similarly priced when split.

What our Frankfurt airport to city center customers say
“Pre-booked at 11 PM the night before, driver was waiting with my name sign at FRA Terminal 1 Arrivals B. Got to my Westend hotel in 22 minutes for €38 - exactly as quoted. Will use again next trip.”
“Flight delayed 2 hours, driver tracked it and waited - no extra charge. Car was a clean Mercedes E-Class. Driver spoke perfect English and gave me restaurant tips for Sachsenhausen.”
Why book with AT Rides & Tours instead of Free Now or Uber
Free Now (formerly mytaxi) and Uber Black both serve FRA, but neither offers fixed-price guarantees. Free Now uses metered taxi rates that climb to €55 to €65 in evening traffic. Uber Black, the only Uber tier available in Frankfurt, costs €45 to €60 with surge pricing on Friday and Saturday nights and during major trade fairs at Messe Frankfurt.
AT Rides & Tours offers a flat €35 quote that locks in at booking - no surge, no luggage surcharge, no card payment fee, no late-night premium. Every driver is full-time staff (not a gig worker), holds a German P-Schein commercial passenger license, drives a TÜV-inspected Mercedes, and speaks fluent English. We invoice with valid German VAT (Rechnung mit MwSt) for business expense reimbursement, which Uber and Free Now do not offer for individual rides.
For a single solo traveler with a backpack, the S-Bahn S8 or S9 train from Frankfurt Airport to Hauptbahnhof costs €5.95 and takes 11 minutes - hard to beat. For two or more travelers, anyone with luggage, families with children, or anyone arriving after 22:00 when train frequency drops, the fixed €35 taxi is faster, more comfortable, and similarly priced when split.

Frankfurt airport to city center transfer for business travelers
Frankfurt is Germany’s financial capital, home to the European Central Bank, the Deutsche Börse stock exchange, and over 200 international banks. Business travelers landing at FRA for meetings in the Westend financial district, the Bankenviertel, or the Skyper Tower need a transfer that is reliable, professional, and invoice-friendly. The standard frankfurt airport to city center taxi often falls short on the third dimension - few metered drivers issue compliant German VAT invoices for expense reimbursement.
AT Rides & Tours specializes in business-class airport transfers. Every booking comes with an automatic German tax-compliant invoice (Rechnung mit MwSt) sent within 24 hours by email. Drivers wear formal attire, vehicles are Mercedes E-Class or S-Class as standard, and we offer corporate accounts with monthly consolidated billing for finance teams who prefer one invoice per month rather than per trip.
For executive travelers, we also offer hourly chauffeur service at €65 per hour - useful when you have multiple meetings across Frankfurt with gaps between them. The driver waits, you make calls or work on your laptop in the back seat, and you keep the same vehicle for the entire day. This is particularly popular with venture capital and private equity teams visiting Frankfurt for back-to-back portfolio company meetings.
