We had some stateside visitors arrive by taxi from the Frankfurt airport to our small town of Oberursel. So this post might be of interest for passengers  from Oberursel leaving for or arriving from the Frankfurt airport

My friend then proceeded to tell me about this argumentative taxi driver, who constantly had to check his map to find his way to Oberursel. He supposedly got lost on his way to Oberursel, a town full of expats who often use  taxi service. In the end, he was charged € 70 for a ride that usually runs € 45.

I wish I would have told him what fare to expect and to settle the price beforehand.

This is what I started doing after I got ripped off once, arriving at the airport overly tired, in a daze, and relieved – and trusting mankind.

For his return trip, we called our local air Flughafenkurier (airport transfer service) to arrange his transfer back to the airport. This time the charge was € 32, our friend not only enjoyed the ride speeding down the Autobahn at 180 km/hr, but also the  presence of a pleasant driver.

I even had called the service somewhat late Friday night, it was 11 p.m., to arrange the pick-up.

We have used Flughafenkurier Kilic for years now and this business is very recommendable. He does not have a website, he operates on a smallscale (and mostly out of Oberursel and Bad Homburg), but here is his phone number:

Airport transfer service: 0163 – 64 00 811

Next time, you arrive in Frankfurt, you may want to call him to reserve a ride.

Edit: As of May 2013, the fare between Oberursel and Frankfurt Airport is € 33.00
