Karlsbad in Baden shares only its name with the famous Czech spa town. It lies between Karlsruhe and Pforzheim on the A8 and consists of five villages: Langensteinbach, Ittersbach, Spielberg, Auerbach and Mutschelbach. Frankfurt Airport is about 145 km away.
Our Frankfurt Airport to Karlsbad transfer takes you – or your relatives – to the door or straight to the clinic in a Mercedes V-Class, at a fixed price.
The route
We drive south on the A5 to the Karlsruhe triangle and then a few minutes east on the A8 to the Karlsbad exit. Allow 90 to 105 minutes.
The A8 near Karlsbad is often busy at rush hour, so for morning departures we add a buffer.
On arrival your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall.
Inside the vehicle
- Clean, well-kept Mercedes-Benz V-Class
- Seven seats – good for families and teams
- Large boot for oversized luggage
- Bottled water and chargers ready
Karlsbad-Langensteinbach clinic
Langensteinbach is home to a large specialist hospital known well beyond the region, including orthopaedics, neurology and rehabilitation. Patients come from all over Germany and abroad, often via Frankfurt.
For them and their families, a calm, direct ride matters. The driver helps getting in and out, carries the luggage and drives smoothly. Folding wheelchairs or walkers can be taken by arrangement.
Please tell us when booking if special assistance is needed – we'll plan extra time.

For commuters and families
Many residents work in Karlsruhe, Pforzheim or Ettlingen. For business trips a fixed-price transfer means pickup at home, invoice to the company and no parking fees.
Families value the space – kids, suitcases and pushchair all fit, and we bring the child seats.
For long-haul flights we recommend pickup about four hours before departure.

Why Veloria Ride?
We're a small team based in Rüsselsheim, right next to Frankfurt Airport. We know the terminals inside out and drive the routes south several times a week.
More than 40 customer reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars show it works.
Between two valleys
The villages sit on a plateau between the Alb and Pfinz valleys, surrounded by meadows and woods. From Ittersbach the Black Forest is practically on the doorstep.
It's a peaceful place for recovery, with walking trails and an outdoor pool in summer.
Meet & greet at the airport
A friendly face after a long flight helps. Your driver waits with a name sign, takes over the trolley and leads you to the car park. No queuing at the taxi rank, no spelling out addresses.
Behind the wheel are trained, licensed chauffeurs. Punctuality and a smart appearance go without saying.
No stress if you're delayed
Flights run late – that's life. We track yours and adjust. The first 60 minutes after landing cost nothing extra; for longer delays we simply coordinate with you.
Example: when will we pick you up?
Your flight to Cairo leaves at 14:40. We allow up to 105 minutes from Karlsbad, plus 20 minutes' buffer and the recommended time at the airport. Your driver will be at your door at 10:05, and you'll reach the terminal around 12:10.
Relatives arranging rides for patients
Relatives often book because patients can't plan the trip themselves after a hospital stay. Give us the name, ward and discharge time; we'll arrange the meeting point with clinic staff and collect your relative there.
We take breaks on the way if needed. At the terminal the driver accompanies the passenger to check-in or to the airport's mobility assistance service.
Ittersbach, Spielberg and the hill villages
Ittersbach and Spielberg sit fairly high, and in winter the road can be slippery. Our vehicles are prepared for it, and we allow extra time when there's snow.
If roads are closed, we'll contact you early and agree on a new pickup time.
Langensteinbach in a few words
Langensteinbach is the largest of Karlsbad's villages and home to the clinic, shops and the town hall. Ittersbach is known for its sports clubs and wide views, Spielberg and Auerbach for quiet lanes on the edge of the forest. Wherever you're heading, give us the full address and we'll drive right to the door.
Pickup areas
Langensteinbach, Ittersbach, Spielberg, Auerbach, Mutschelbach and the clinic, plus Waldbronn, Marxzell, Keltern, Straubenhardt and Ettlingen.
The right departure hall
Terminal 1 has several departure halls (A, B and C); Terminal 2 covers D and E. If your ticket shows a specific hall, tell the driver and they'll stop as close as possible to the right entrance.
