Public transport from Cologne Bonn Airport to Koblenz Old Town: is there a bus, train or metro?

Koblenz has fast trains along the Rhine and the Moselle, but none of the three airports has a simple direct rail link, and Hahn has only buses. A private car is the easiest choice with luggage, for river-cruise embarkation or for trips to the castles in the hills.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Koblenz Old Town once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Cologne Bonn Airport to Koblenz Old Town transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

Narrow lanes lead past churches, little squares and the Schängel fountain to the riverside promenades, which meet at the German Corner, the sharp point of the confluence with its towering equestrian monument. Across the Rhine, a cable car rises to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, and the Electoral Palace stands on the Rhine bank to the south. Koblenz is also the northern gateway to the UNESCO-listed Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
