Uber is available in larger cities. But in my experience there are not enough drivers on the app in Frankfurt, wait times are ridiculous, and it's usually not cheaper. Taxis are the way to go.
You do not need to pre-arrange a pickup with Uber to pick you up at an airport. Airport is the most popular place where most drivers will go there to wait for a ride. Most of the time, it only take 5–10 minutes before a driver will arrive.
Of the 40 busiest U.S. airports, 10 don't allow pickups unless drivers have a chauffeur's license or livery plates, including Atlanta, Orlando, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. Seattle, Minneapolis and New Orleans started allowing legal ride-sharing pickups only this year.
You can tip your driver once your trip is complete. Tips are neither expected nor required. After a trip has ended, you have 30 days to add a tip in the app, on riders.uber.com, and from your emailed trip receipt. When can I tip my delivery partner?
Taxi faresTipping the driver is appreciated, simply round up the total sum (i.e. €9,20 to €10). All taxi drivers should accept payment with cash and by debit- or credit card.
To get to the city center, you can take the S-Bahn (suburban train) lines S8 or S9 from the regional train station located in Terminal 1. The journey takes approximately 15-20 minutes and trains run every 10-15 minutes. The ticket costs around €4.50 and can be purchased at the ticket machines or at the service center.
Transfer at the airportPassengers who are simply changing flights at an airport in the Federal Republic of Germany coming from an area of variants of concern must comply with the obligations to provide proof of vaccination, recovery or testing specified in the Ordinance on the Coronavirus Entry Regulations.
All concourses at both terminals are connected (both landside and airside) by a free Sky Train (monorail). There is also a free shuttle bus. Luggage carts are not allowed on the Sky Train. The transfer between Terminal 1 and 2 on foot takes around 15 minutes.
I use this airport every year on flights from and to the US, and I like to have up to 2 hours. The minimum connecting time for a flight in Frankfurt is 45 minutes. However, it is always a good idea to allow more time, especially if you are traveling during peak hours or if you are flying to a different terminal.
But Frankfurt airport is well marked and easy to navigate (big though and busy). 1 hour is stressful but possible providing your carry on is well organized to clear secuirty (passport control will still be slow.) I prefer Munich and is much easier to do with a shorter connection time.
