Bretten sits in the rolling Kraichgau hills between Bruchsal and Pforzheim, about 135 km from Frankfurt Airport. There is no direct train, so our Frankfurt Airport to Bretten transfer is the easiest way to get there.
Your driver meets you in arrivals, loads your bags into a Mercedes V-Class and drives you straight to the door. The fixed price is shown before you book.
How we get there
We drive south on the A5 past Darmstadt and Heidelberg, leave at Bruchsal and follow the B35 into Bretten. That last leg takes about fifteen minutes.
Altogether it's 85 to 100 minutes. Friday afternoons around Darmstadt can be slower, but the fixed price stays the same.
For your return flight, just give us the flight number and we'll plan the pickup time.
Your Mercedes V-Class
- Up to seven passengers in individual seats
- Room for suitcases, buggies or a golf bag
- Child and baby seats on request at no extra cost
- Charging cables on board
Who travels to Bretten
Bretten has a strong industrial base, including a large home-appliance plant producing the Neff brand. Engineers, auditors and customers visit regularly, and we bring them from the terminal to the factory gate.
Families from Bretten book us for holiday flights – with three children, one fixed price for the car usually beats train tickets plus parking.
Clubs and groups travel with us too. For more than seven people we send a second vehicle.
In short
- Price shown before you book
- Punctual pickup at any hour
- Free child seats

Bretten for visitors
The old town with its half-timbered market square is the heart of Bretten. The reformer Philipp Melanchthon was born here in 1497, and the Melanchthon House draws visitors from around the world.
Every July Bretten celebrates the Peter-und-Paul-Fest, one of southern Germany's largest historical festivals, with thousands of participants in medieval costume. Book early if you're coming for it.

Your contact at Frankfurt Airport
We're based in Rüsselsheim am Main, just minutes from the airport, so we're quickly on site even when a flight changes at short notice.
Bookings, questions and changes go straight to us – by phone, WhatsApp or email.
Shared shuttle or private transfer?
Shared shuttles stop several times and follow a timetable, which often means long waits at the airport.
With us you travel privately at the time you choose. If your flight is late, the driver waits.
For very early or late flights there are few alternatives in the Kraichgau without your own car.
Stress-free arrival
We see when your plane really touches down and plan around it. From landing you have 60 minutes for passport control and luggage. Your driver messages you and waits in arrivals.
Behind the wheel are trained, licensed chauffeurs. Punctuality and a smart appearance go without saying.
Use the time
An hour and a half in the car is useful time. The V-Class cabin is quiet enough for calls, and you can open your laptop at your seat.
Prefer to sleep? Go ahead – the driver will wake you on arrival.
Working out your pickup time
Say you're flying to Istanbul at 11:20. With up to 100 minutes' drive from Bretten and 20 minutes in reserve, we'd suggest pickup at 07:20. You'd arrive at the terminal at about 09:20 – plenty of time for bag drop and security.
A morning in the Kraichgau
A typical departure from Bretten: alarm at 3:45 a.m., the V-Class at the door in Diedelsheim at 4:30. The driver loads the cases, the children keep sleeping in their seats. Down the B35 to Bruchsal, then onto an empty A5.
Shortly before six we stop at Terminal 1, in good time for a 7:40 Lufthansa flight. No car park, no shuttle bus, no crowded platform – that's the difference a private transfer makes when a holiday starts with an early flight.
Tips for plant visitors
First-time visitors to a Bretten plant rarely know the gatehouse or visitor parking. Our drivers do. Give us your host's name and meeting time and we'll plan the arrival accordingly, dropping you at the right entrance.
If you're staying several days, we can also bring you from the hotel to the plant each morning.

Just before departure
