Car Hire Frankfurt Airport
Mini guide to Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt is the biggest hub airport on the European continent. About half of Frankfurt Airport's passengers are simply connecting to another flight. This may explain its excellent transit facilities and transportation services between its two terminals.
The Frankfurt Skyline train connects Terminals 1 and 2. This service is aided by inter-terminal shuttle buses which run on demand, collectively providing an excellent transit service. Both are free of charge.
The airport has 16 currency exchange outlets in Terminals 1 and 2, as well as 7 banks at 18 different locations. In addition, practically all the main tour operators and travel agents have a customer service counter here.
Both terminals have ATMs and bureaux de change. The Frankfurt Airport Centre opposite Terminal 1 offers a wide range of domestic and international banking facilities.
Post offices are located in Terminal 1, departures hall B (daily 0700-2100) and in transit area B. A self-service post office is located in terminal 2, check-in hall E. 3C Communications provide 24-hour fax, internet access and creditcard phones. Internet is also available at many gates.
Each of Frankfurt’s terminals offers a huge range of shops ranging from fashion, flowers and perfumes to electronics, book and delicatessen stores. Other services include dry cleaners, an airport casino and hairdressers. Spending time in Frankfurt Airport is very pleasant and there is also a Sheraton Hotel adjoining the terminal building for those with longer stop-overs. Airport art galleries are located in both terminals.
Specially designed washrooms, automated doors and wheelchair ramps help cater for the needs of the disabled. Paid porter service may be booked in advance at (+49) 69 690 66666. Specially allocated parking is available in the P31 parking garage, from where the departures hall can be reached via a wheelchair accessible passageway.
