Staying in the Rhine Gorge and flying out of Frankfurt? FrankfurtRide collects you from your hotel or guesthouse in Kaub and delivers you directly to Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 at FRA — fixed price, confirmed in advance, no awkward right-bank rail changes with luggage. The 75 km along the B42 and A66 takes approximately 55 minutes, a quick run out of the gorge.
Kaub sits on the right bank of the Middle Rhine beneath Burg Gutenfels, its small hotels and guesthouses facing the island Pfalzgrafenstein across the water. The right-bank railway here is a slow, infrequent line, so reaching a major airport by train means changes and waiting. The B42 along the river runs straight to Wiesbaden, where the A66 takes over for the short hop to FRA — a quick, scenic line out for an early flight, favoured by Rhine-cruise and wine-tourism guests heading home.
The transfer from Kaub to Frankfurt Airport follows the B42 east along the Rhine past Lorch and Rüdesheim to Wiesbaden, then the A66 runs directly to the Rhein-Main airport complex — 75 km, around 55 minutes outside peak times. Your FrankfurtRide driver collects you from your hotel door and delivers you to the correct Frankfurt Airport terminal entrance, with no transfers or connections required.

Your FrankfurtRide driver arrives at your Kaub hotel or guesthouse, handles your luggage from lobby to boot, and delivers you to the correct departure terminal at FRA. The price is confirmed before you book — no airport surcharges, no waiting-time fees, no detour charges from the gorge villages.
Departure demand from Kaub rises through the Rhine cruise and wine season — late spring to October, plus the autumn Mittelrhein harvest — when gorge guests check out for flights; book at least 24–48 hours ahead in those periods. Winter mornings can bring river fog along the B42, so allow a small extra buffer for December and January departures. Your FrankfurtRide driver monitors the A66 and recommends a departure that keeps you comfortably ahead of check-in.
