This is interesting to me. I am planning a vacation in Germany and will be staying at a hotel near Kamp Bornhofen on the Rhine on our last night in Germany. My plan was to drive from there to FRA in the morning to catch a flight at noon. But reading this I am starting to think about taking a train instead. There is a Hertz place in Bingen where I could drop off the rental car and catch a train to the airport. This is for a family of four with a bunch of luggage so it's kind of a hassle.
Any thoughts? Is it worth taking a train instead? I'd be doing this drive on a Wed. morning and would need to be at FRA by 10:00 am or so. Google estimates 1.5 hrs from the hotel to FRA.
