Reach Hamburg Airport relaxed with your dog or cat
Travelling with a pet is exciting enough on its own. A crowded platform, a packed suburban train and a nervous animal in its carrier can make the start of a holiday truly stressful. With a private airport transfer to HAM in Hamburg-Fuhlsbuettel, you make things easy for yourself and your pet. You are picked up right at your front door and driven to Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 without changing vehicles. No crowds, no waiting at the stop and no rushed connections at the main station.
Pet rules for the private transfer
To keep the ride pleasant for everyone, a few simple rules apply. Your dog or cat travels in a suitable transport carrier. The carrier gives your animal a sense of security, protects the seats and lets the driver focus fully on the road. When you book, simply state in the booking form that you are bringing a pet and how large the carrier is. That way the right vehicle is planned from the start, from an economy car for a small cat carrier to a spacious estate car or minibus if you are travelling with a large dog and plenty of luggage.
How to prepare your pet for the ride
- Walk your dog once more before departure so it settles calmly into the carrier.
- Place a familiar blanket or a favourite toy in the carrier, it has a soothing effect.
- Do not feed your pet right before the ride, a light stomach makes the trip more comfortable.
- Pack a small water bottle and a bowl for longer routes from the surrounding region.
Fixed travel time and fixed price to HAM
HAM lies around 8.5 kilometres north of the city centre. From many Hamburg districts you reach the terminal in 15 to 25 minutes, and from the surrounding areas in Schleswig-Holstein or Lower Saxony a little longer. The big advantage for pet owners: you know the price in advance. The fixed price from 98 euros is set at the time of booking, with no taximeter and no surcharge for your pet or luggage. So there are no surprises on arrival while your four-legged friend sniffs around on the lead.
Pick-up, name sign and waiting time
On the return trip your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall, so you can find each other quickly with pet and suitcase. Enter your flight number when booking, then the flight is monitored and any delay is taken into account. At the airport, 90 minutes of waiting time are included, so you have plenty of time to give your pet a breath of fresh air after landing before heading to the car.
How the booking works
Flughafentransfer.Hamburg is a booking platform. The ride itself is carried out by a local, licensed transport provider through our partner Kiwitaxi. You choose your address online, the terminal at HAM, the number of passengers and indicate your pet. The available payment methods and the binding terms are shown during the booking process. If needed, a child seat can be added too, handy when family and pet travel to the plane together. This way you reach Hamburg Airport calmly, safely and on time with your dog and cat.
