Hamburg airport transfer – quickly to the city, the port or the Baltic coast
Hamburg Airport is in the Fuhlsbüttel district, only about ten kilometres north of the city centre. Despite the short distance, getting to the Elbphilharmonie, a hotel on the Alster or the cruise terminal with suitcases can be tiring. A Hamburg airport transfer with your own driver takes you straight there without changes – including the cruise centres in Altona or Steinwerder.
We drive business travellers to the trade fair and the Kontorhaus district, families to their holiday flat and cruise passengers with heavy luggage to the ship. As a Hamburg airport taxi or a Hamburg airport shuttle in a van – at a fixed price per vehicle.

One of the oldest airports in the world: history of HAM
Hamburg Airport was founded in Fuhlsbüttel in 1911 – initially as an airship port. This makes it one of the oldest airports in the world still operating at its original site. Regular passenger services began in the 1920s.
After the war the airport was continuously modernised with new terminals, the Airport Plaza and an S-Bahn connection. Since 2016 it has been named “Hamburg Airport Helmut Schmidt” in honour of the former Federal Chancellor and honorary citizen of Hamburg.
Where your chauffeur meets you at Hamburg Airport
Your chauffeur waits with a name sign in the arrivals level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. The terminals are linked by the Airport Plaza, and the car is parked in the multi-storey car park opposite.
