Frankfurt for event guests: terminals, airport hotels and the city centre
Drop-off in front of the terminals
There is a drop-off area in front of the terminals, free for up to 10 minutes twice per calendar day. Terminal 3 in the south has its own access road from the A5 – so your guests’ departure terminal should be settled before the return trip.
Gateway Gardens and THE SQUAIRE
Next to the airport is an office, conference and hotel quarter with corporate headquarters; THE SQUAIRE above the long-distance station is directly connected to Terminal 1. From the airport to the Deutsche Bank Park it is only approx. 8 km.
Banking district and Westend
If your guests stay in the city centre, distances are short: from the central station it is approx. 1 km to the banking district and approx. 2 km to the Westend. Meetings before or after the event are covered by the Frankfurt chauffeur service, by the hour too.
Vehicles and planning for your event in Frankfurt
For evening events in the city centre, at the Alte Oper for example, we stagger departures from the hotels so that not every vehicle pulls up at the entrance at once.
Example: 40 guests to the Jahrhunderthalle
If 40 guests are to travel from the airport to the myticket Jahrhunderthalle, that comes to two Sprinters and one Business Van. For the approx. 12 km, each vehicle needs about 11 minutes each way without traffic, so a second round would be possible after about 22 minutes. We tell you with the quote whether the vehicles are free.
For group journeys by the hour, by the day or over several days, there is our minibus with driver.
If some guests travel on to Cologne, Stuttgart or Luxembourg after the event, book our city-to-city transfer from Frankfurt.
In short: guest transport for your event in Frankfurt
From the terminal to Kap Europa, from a hotel in the banking district to the Alte Oper, or back from the Stadtwald after the match: an event shuttle in Frankfurt plans these journeys for your guests together and with buffers. With the date, number of guests and schedule, we draw up a quote for you.
