ICE train, coach or private transfer?
For solo travellers with light luggage, the ICE from Frankfurt Airport’s long-distance station to Cologne is often the fastest option. A private transfer makes sense when:
- you travel as three or more – one fixed price for the vehicle instead of several tickets,
- you have lots of luggage, children or sports equipment,
- your address is not near a station – e.g. Bonn, Leverkusen, Bergisch Gladbach or the Cologne suburbs,
- you travel very early or late and don’t want to depend on timetables or cancellations,
- you want to work on the way – in peace, without changing trains.
