Start your holidays stress free at Hamburg Airport
When the school holidays begin in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg Airport (HAM) in Fuhlsbüttel gets busy fast. Families, groups and solo travellers all head off at once. So your holiday does not start with stress on the way to the airport, it pays to plan your transfer early. A private airport transfer takes you door to door at a fixed price, with no changes along the way.
Why you should book your holiday transfer early
During the holiday weeks the roads around HAM are noticeably fuller, and the S1 city train that links the airport with the main station is packed at peak times. With children, suitcases and maybe a stroller, changing trains is hard work. If you reserve a private transfer in good time, you secure both the right vehicle class and a relaxed schedule: the driver picks you up at the agreed time and brings you straight to Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
In peak travel season the rule is simple: the earlier the better. That way you can more easily find the right vehicle, whether an economy car for two or a minibus for the whole family with up to 19 seats.
How your transfer to HAM works
The process is kept deliberately simple. You book online in advance and see the fixed price straight away, from 98 €. There is no taximeter and no nasty surprises in traffic. The driver knows the fastest routes through Hamburg and the surrounding area, whether you start in Eimsbüttel, Wandsbek, the Alstertal, or in Norderstedt and Ahrensburg.
- Door to door: pick up right outside your home or holiday flat.
- Fixed price up front: the fare is set at booking, regardless of traffic or waiting time.
- Child seats: available for families so the little ones travel safely.
- Room for luggage: large suitcases, travel bags and sports gear come along.
The return trip: relaxed from HAM back home
Your journey home after the holiday is covered too. Simply enter your flight number when booking. The service keeps an eye on your flight and adjusts the pick up if there is a delay. At HAM, 90 minutes of waiting time are included, so there is no need to rush if the baggage belt takes a while. Your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall, and off you go comfortably, whether to Winterhude, Blankenese or into the Lower Saxony area towards Buchholz and Winsen.
Practical tips for holiday travel
Allow a little extra time for the way to the airport during the holidays, especially on the first holiday weekend when many people set off at once. Check in advance whether your flight leaves from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 so the drive ends smoothly. If you travel with a pet, that is possible in a carrier. For groups and clubs a shared minibus is worth it, cheaper and more sociable than several separate rides.
Booking is handled by the partner Kiwitaxi, while licensed local drivers carry out the ride itself. The available payment methods and the binding terms are shown during the booking process. That way your holiday begins and ends exactly as it should: relaxed.
