One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 1 to an office near the Hauptbahnhof, Terminal 4 to a hotel by the Marktplatz, or the Cannstatter Wasen back to STR for an evening flight. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: STR to a hotel near the Schlossplatz when you land, and back up to the Filder plateau for the flight home. During the Volksfest weeks or the Christmas market, when the centre is busy, settling the return before you fly in spares you a search later. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at STR, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Stuttgart Airport to Stuttgart: Route and Drive Time

The terminals stand on the Filder plateau, south of the city, so the trip into Stuttgart heads north. By road it is 14 km, usually 30–40 minutes, most of it on the B27. When commuter traffic is heavy, or when a large fair has just opened beside the terminals, expect the upper figure.

The final stretch depends on the address. A hotel by the Schlossplatz or the Marktplatz is in the middle of town; the Hauptbahnhof, still the old terminus while the Stuttgart 21 works go on, is close by. The Cannstatter Wasen, the festival ground in Bad Cannstatt, is a different direction again, and there the gate you need matters more than the street.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Put your terminal and flight number in the booking, together with the full street address.

Stuttgart Airport to Stuttgart: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Stuttgart Airport

STR has four terminals. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 share one building, while Terminal 4 stands on its own a few minutes away on foot, so give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there. Your ticket or the airline app shows which one your flight uses.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

A visit to Stuttgart can start at the exhibition centre rather than in the city, because the halls stand right beside the terminals. If you go to your stand first and to the hotel only in the evening, book the run from the airport to the halls and the evening drive into town as two separate transfers.

Arriving at Your Address in Stuttgart

The centre of Stuttgart is a chain of squares: the Schlossplatz, the Marktplatz, the Schillerplatz and the Karlsplatz. From late November the Christmas market spreads across them, and the streets around fill with stalls and visitors. If your hotel is in that part of town, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

Parts of the city are also covered by a low-emission zone (Umweltzone) and by additional bans on older diesel vehicles. Such rules decide which vehicles may enter a street, one more reason to give the exact address rather than only a district.

The ICS congress centre is out at the airport, not in town. A delegate staying in Stuttgart therefore drives back up to the Filder plateau each morning.

From Stuttgart Back to Stuttgart Airport

Work out the pickup from the length of the drive, not from a fixed hour: from the centre to the terminals it takes 30–40 minutes on a normal day. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it. Name the departure terminal too; if your airline flies from Terminal 4, the car pulls up at that building rather than at the main one.

Two city calendars call for extra margin. The Frühlingsfest occupies the Cannstatter Wasen from mid-April into May, and the Cannstatter Volksfest runs there for 17 days from late September, with around 4 million visitors. In January the CMT fills the exhibition halls by the airport, and then the traffic builds at the airport end of the route instead.

A traveller with a late meeting near the Hauptbahnhof can be collected at the office door and go straight to the terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Are the exhibition halls beside the airport only minutes from the terminals?

Yes: the halls are about 3 km from Terminal 3, 10 to 15 minutes by road. For a fair visit before the hotel, give the entrance and the hall in the booking.

Does Stuttgart 21 change where the car picks me up at the Hauptbahnhof?

The Hauptbahnhof stays the old terminus until the new through station opens in December 2031, and the old one remains in use until mid-2032, according to DB. Name the exit or street where you want to start, and the confirmation shows where the car will stop.

Which gate do we name for the Cannstatter Wasen in Bad Cannstatt?

The Wasen lies in another direction from the city centre, and the gate matters more than the street. Name the entrance of the tent or ride area you want in the booking, so the chauffeur knows where to stop.

Can I be driven to a hotel in Stuttgart's low-emission zone?

The Umweltzone and the extra diesel bans apply in parts of the city, and the Christmas market squares are crowded from late November. The city publishes an exceptions page for the diesel bans. Send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

Our club flies in for the Cannstatter Volksfest on separate flights. Which booking approach works?

Every flight gets its own transfer, with a vehicle that suits the members and bags on that plane. When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation.

What do you need to know about Stuttgart Airport in 2026–2027?

The 87th Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest runs from 17 April to 9 May 2027 on the Cannstatter Wasen. The airport forecasts about 9.4 million passengers for 2026, after 9.6 million in 2025.
