Why a private transfer to Bensheim
Bensheim is a wine town on the Bergstrasse, south of Darmstadt. It is close to Frankfurt Airport, but trains usually require a change. A private car takes you straight there in around 45 minutes.
The price is fixed per vehicle and shown before you book, so families and small groups travel at the same cost as one person.
Route
We take the A5 south from the airport, passing Darmstadt, for about 60 km. Expect 40 to 50 minutes in normal traffic. For departures, we pick you up early enough to allow for rush hour.
Who we drive
Holidaymakers from the Bergstrasse, business travellers working in Darmstadt or Mannheim, and international guests visiting companies in Bensheim and Heppenheim all use our service. Child seats are free, and drivers help with luggage.
Wine lovers coming for the Bergsträßer Winzerfest often fly into Frankfurt. We take you directly to your hotel or guesthouse, so you can start the evening right away.
Why not the train?
From Frankfurt Airport, trains to Bensheim usually involve a change at Frankfurt Central Station or Darmstadt. With heavy luggage or children, that can be tiring, especially after a long flight. Early-morning departures are also difficult, as the first trains may not reach the airport in time.
A private transfer leaves when you are ready and drops you at the door. The fixed price covers the whole vehicle, so for two or more passengers it is often good value.
Pickup at the airport
We track your flight number and adjust the pickup time if your plane is early or late. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or 2 with a name sign. The first 60 minutes after landing are free, giving you time for immigration and baggage claim.
Heppenheim, Zwingenberg and Lorsch
Our service covers the whole Hessian Bergstrasse. Heppenheim, just south of Bensheim, has a pretty market square and a castle ruin above the vineyards. Zwingenberg is the oldest town on the Bergstrasse, and Lorsch is home to a Carolingian gatehouse that is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All are within an hour of Frankfurt Airport.
Spring on the Bergstrasse
The Bergstrasse is known as Germany's spring garden. Almond and cherry trees bloom as early as March, weeks before the rest of the country. Walkers follow the blossom trail through vineyards between Darmstadt and Heidelberg. If you are flying in for a spring break, we can take you straight to a wine estate or guesthouse.
A larger vehicle than a taxi
Standard taxis are often saloon cars with limited space. Our Mercedes V-Class has seven individual seats and a large luggage area, ideal for families with strollers or groups with golf bags. The fixed price is the same whether you travel alone or with six companions.
Business in Bensheim and Heppenheim
Medium-sized companies in Bensheim, Heppenheim and nearby Darmstadt regularly welcome customers and partners from abroad. We meet these guests at the terminal with a name sign, drive them to their meeting or hotel and back to the airport afterwards. Companies can book on account with monthly invoices. Our drivers are punctual, discreet and speak English, and the quiet cabin of the V-Class makes it easy to take calls during the drive along the A5.
For conferences or training sessions, we can coordinate several pickups at the same time so that all participants arrive together.
Luggage and special requests
Please tell us how many large suitcases you are bringing. With seven passengers, roughly one large case each plus hand luggage fits comfortably. With fewer people there is room for more. Strollers, folding wheelchairs, golf bags and bike boxes are no problem if we know in advance. If you need a stop on the way, for example to collect a family member in Darmstadt, we can include it in the price.
Autumn wine festival
Every September the Bergsträsser Winzerfest turns Bensheim's centre into a large open-air wine tavern, attracting visitors from far beyond the region. We bring festival guests from the airport to their hotel and back again afterwards, so nobody has to worry about driving after a glass of wine.
Payment
Pay online when booking or by invoice for companies. A receipt is emailed after the ride.
Nearby Darmstadt
Darmstadt, the science city, is just north of Bensheim. We can include a stop there on the way.
