Between Fondation Beyeler and the Wiese valley
Living in Riehen means living right on the border: the municipality belongs to the canton of Basel-City and touches Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. That keeps the run to Frankfurt Airport pleasantly short – within minutes your chauffeur is on the German motorway.
Visitors of the Fondation Beyeler, families from the Niederholz quarter and business travellers working for Basel’s pharma companies all rely on the service. For anyone landing late after a long-haul flight, a direct ride home to Riehen is simply the most comfortable option.

Good to know for passengers from Riehen
A practical tip for Riehen: if you live near Baselstrasse, your chauffeur pulls up right outside – our drivers know the no-stopping zones and narrow lanes in the village. For departures before 8 a.m. we recommend a pick-up around 3:30 a.m. so there is enough reserve for roadworks on the A5. Art lovers visiting the Fondation Beyeler can be collected at the museum exit after their visit.

Taxi from Riehen to Frankfurt Airport – or a fixed price?
Looking for a taxi from Riehen to Frankfurt Airport? With a meter, every roadwork on roughly 325 km makes the ride more expensive. Our Riehen to Frankfurt Airport transfer uses a fixed price instead: you see the cost before booking, and the price is per vehicle.
Instead of a shared airport shuttle with several stops, you travel privately and without detours.
Your benefits when travelling from Riehen
By train, the trip from Riehen to Frankfurt usually means at least one change, often with heavy luggage and tight connections. A metered taxi over roughly 325 km quickly becomes unpredictable. With us the price is fixed in advance – whether there is a jam on the A5 or a diversion.
You relax in the back for about 3 hours while your chauffeur takes care of traffic and route. Comfortable leather seats and a calm driving style turn the ride into quiet time for work or rest.
We work only with experienced drivers who know the region and well-maintained Mercedes vehicles. Child seats, infant carriers and boosters are free of charge – just mention them when booking.
For business clients from Riehen we issue invoices showing VAT, cost-centre details and, on request, one consolidated monthly invoice.
