About this route

Route overview

Frankfurt am Main is the financial capital of Germany and home to the European Central Bank (ECB), Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, DZ Bank and Börse Frankfurt — Europes fourth-largest stock exchange. A skyline of 14 towers above 150 m (Commerzbank Tower 259 m, the tallest in the EU outside the UK, Messeturm 257 m, Main Tower 240 m with an observation deck) nicknamed Mainhattan. The Römerberg with the Gothic Römer town hall (from 1405, coronations of ten Holy Roman Emperors 1562-1792), Goethehaus (Johann Wolfgang von Goethes family home 1749-1765), the Städel Museum (Vermeer, Botticelli, Monet), Museumsufer (12 museums on the left bank of the Main) and the Frankfurter Dom (the Gothic coronation cathedral). Messe Frankfurt — the worlds second-largest exhibition grounds (578000 m²), host of IAA Mobility (motor show, every second September), Frankfurter Buchmesse (the worlds largest book fair in October), Light + Building (April every second year), Ambiente and Tendence. Most clients fly Vienna-Frankfurt FRA (Lufthansa, Austrian hub, 1 h 25 min), but the private chauffeur transfer over 750 km Vienna-Frankfurt is regularly chosen by Messe Frankfurt executive guests (luxury stands need discretion, backup documents cannot travel in hold baggage), IAA Mobility clients (car prototypes, engineering documents), Frankfurter Buchmesse delegations (rights negotiations) and central-bank meeting guests. Route: A1 Vienna-Linz-Salzburg (300 km, 3 h), A8 Salzburg-Munich (140 km, 1 h 30 min), A3 Munich-Würzburg-Frankfurt (310 km, 2 h 30 min, on the German Autobahn with no speed limit on most sections). Total 750 km, 7 h. The service runs 24/7 with VIE flight tracking. A standard plan: 07:00 Vienna pickup, 11:30 lunch in Salzburg (Hotel Sacher), 15:30 lunch or coffee in Würzburg, 17:00 Frankfurt and a drop-off at Hessischer Hof (Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 40, family-owned since 1952 in an 1855 palace, opposite Messe Frankfurt), Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof (Am Kaiserplatz, since 1876 — Bismarck, Marlene Dietrich, JFK), Sofitel Frankfurt Opera, The Westin Grand Frankfurt, Jumeirah Frankfurt or Roomers Frankfurt. From EUR 1900 in a Mercedes E-Class for 1-3 passengers, from EUR 2200 in a V-Class for 4-6.

Common questions

FAQ

Isnt a Vienna-Frankfurt FRA flight faster than 7 hours on the motorway?

Yes — Lufthansa and Austrian fly Vienna-Frankfurt FRA in 1 h 25 min (Star Alliance hub, 8-10 flights a day), plus 2-3 h security plus a 30 min transfer FRA-centre, about 5-6 h door-to-door. The chauffeur transfer is 7 h of driving. We are chosen by executive guests who value discretion (no visual inspection of documents), Buchmesse and IAA clients with engineering documents and prototypes not permitted in hold baggage, and clients who prefer door-to-door without Schengen passport control. For tourism we recommend the flight plus our FRA-Frankfurt hotel transfer (15 km, 25 min).

Is the German A3 really speed-limit-free and how long is the German section?

Yes — the A3 Autobahn between Passau and Frankfurt has around 70% of its length without a limit (a Richtgeschwindigkeit of 130 km/h is the recommended speed, while 200+ km/h is legal where the freie Fahrt signs apply). Our Mercedes E-Class and V-Class cruise comfortably at 160-180 km/h, but for safety and client comfort we hold 130-140 km/h. The German section Salzburg-Frankfurt is 450 km in 3 h 30 min plus a lunch stop in Würzburg or Passau. Fuel at Aral or Shell stations. Fixed price up front, with no speed or motorway surcharges.

Do you drop off at Hessischer Hof opposite Messe Frankfurt or at FRA?

Yes — drop-off at any Frankfurt address: Hessischer Hof (Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 40, family-owned since 1952 in the 1855 Schönborn palace, opposite Messe Frankfurt — the number one choice for executive trade-fair guests), Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof Marriott Luxury Collection (Am Kaiserplatz, a classic grand hotel since 1876), Jumeirah Frankfurt (Thurn-und-Taxis-Platz 2, by Hauptbahnhof), The Westin Grand Frankfurt, Sofitel Frankfurt Opera, Roomers Frankfurt Autograph Collection. Alternatively FRA Rhein-Main private terminal (Lufthansa hub, transatlantic to JFK, ORD, LAX, SFO). Fixed price up front.
