Parking and ground transportation offer many different options at the Frankfurt Hahn Airport. It is best to become familiar with the many possibilities before you travel there.
Parking
There are three parking garages for short term parking, all close to the terminals. They are P0, P1 and P5. The charge for these are EUR 2.50 an hour for all three, and separate one-day fees:
- P0 costs EUR 18.00 per day
- P1 costs EUR 30.00 per day
- P5 costs EUR 25.00 per day
Long term parking is found in other garages farther from the airport and is served by a free shuttle that runs back and forth to the airport. These are P2, P4, P7 and P8. The charges for lots P2 and P4 are:
- EUR 2.00 for the first hour
- EUR 7.00 for the day
- EUR 40.00 for the week
The second week drops at these lots to EUR25.00
For P7 and P8 the charges are:
- EUR2.50 by the hour
- EUR7.00 for the day
- EUR17.50 for a week, with no discount for a second week
Unlike most airports, parking can be reserved and paid for online prior to a trip. Otherwise, automatic pay machines are found at all of the pedestrian entrances to parking garages. Travelers can also use their credit cards when they enter the parking areas, and the card will be automatically charged when the vehicle leaves the garage.
Another popular option is the Park, Stay and Go Hotels. For a package price that is often less than the cost of parking at the airport, certain hotels close to the Frankfurt Airport will allow customers to park for up to two weeks after a night's stay, with a complimentary shuttle that takes the traveler to and from the hotel.
Ground Transportation
Train and bus service to Frankfurt is convenient and budget-friendly. The airport has two rail stations and one bus terminal, which are located adjacent to Terminal 1. There is a regional rail as well as one for destinations further away. For the RMV transport it is necessary to purchase tickets from their ticket machines, or from the RMV Mobility Center. The rail stations have direct services to Frankfurt and run every 15 minutes. It takes 11 minutes to arrive at the Frankfurt Central Station and about 15 minutes to arrive in downtown Frankfurt.
Buses are found outside all of the terminals. They leave every 20 minutes and take about 20 minutes to arrive in the city.
Another option for getting to Frankfurt is by taxi, which costs about EUR 20.00. It takes about 20 minutes and is available 24-hours a day.
Since the airport is so close to the Autobahn, car travel is convenient and a rental car may be a good option for more than one traveler. Car rental companies are right in the airport itself, for added convenience. Reservations can be made online.
