The price is agreed before you book. No meter, no surge pricing.
Stuttgart Airport to Berlin Brandenburg Airport is 656 km by road, about 6h 28 in normal traffic. A private car does it kerb to kerb with your luggage in the boot, from €1075 for up to 3 passengers, at a price fixed before you set off. The driver tracks the inbound flight and the drop-off is timed against your check-in rather than a timetable.
Changing airports is almost never something you planned. Stuttgart Airport to Berlin Brandenburg Airport is 656 km and about 6h 28, and a car covers it in one leg with no change and no ticket barrier between you and your suitcase.
The pickup is driven by your inbound flight number: the driver watches the actual landing time and waits 60 minutes free after touchdown, which is what a diverted or delayed arrival needs. At the far end the drop-off is at the correct terminal for your departure — Berlin Brandenburg Airport has 2 and the wrong one costs a shuttle ride you do not have time for. Tell us the departing flight at booking and the schedule is worked backwards from its check-in deadline rather than forwards from a convenient departure. We run the same journey to Cologne Bonn Airport, priced the same way.
Luggage stays in the car for the whole 6h 28, which is the single biggest practical difference from any rail route: nothing is lifted onto a train at Stuttgart Airport, off it again at the interchange, or onto a second one for the run into Berlin Brandenburg Airport. If the airline has rebooked you and is reimbursing ground transport, the invoice shows the route, the date and the fare in a form an airline will accept.
Almost nobody chooses to change airports. The bookings we see on this route come from a short list: a missed connection where the replacement departs from elsewhere, a return flight that was always from a different airport than the outbound, an airline rebooking after a cancellation, and a cheap outbound paired with a cheap return that happen not to share a runway. All four have the same shape — a deadline you did not set, at an airport you did not plan to be at. That is why this page leads with the drive time rather than the price: on this route the question is whether you make it, and the fare is secondary.
The inbound flight moving is the easy case and it is already planned for. The departing one moving is the case nobody thinks about until it happens. If it slips later, nothing needs doing — you simply arrive with more room against check-in than you booked for. If it is brought forward, or the airline rebooks you again mid-journey onto something leaving from a third airport, tell us while the car is still moving rather than when it arrives. A driver already on the road has options that a driver at a kerb does not, and that conversation is far easier at 656 km out than at the door.
Not every booking on this route is a passenger in trouble. Airline and charter crew repositioning between bases, tour groups whose inbound and outbound use different airports, and corporate travellers moving between meetings at two hubs all use the same journey. Multi-vehicle bookings for a group are quoted as one price rather than several, so a party of twelve arrives together rather than in three cars that left at three different times, and account customers are invoiced monthly with cost centres rather than paying per journey.
Two flights bracket this journey and both go into the booking. The pickup is set from the inbound flight's real landing time rather than its scheduled one, with 60 minutes of free waiting after touchdown. The drop-off is worked backwards from the departing flight's check-in deadline — not its departure time, which is the mistake that costs people the flight. Between those two the 6h 28 drive is the predictable part. If the numbers do not work we will tell you at booking rather than take the fare and hope.

Straight answer
Could you do this by train? Usually, and it is worth knowing what it involves. Very few German airports are directly connected to each other by rail: the normal route is Stuttgart Airport → city centre → change → city centre → Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which is two or three services and at least one interchange with all of your luggage, at a station where nobody helps you carry it. At 656 km we will be straight with you: a domestic flight or a fast train is usually the better answer, and a 6h 28 drive is only the right call when the flights are gone, the luggage is awkward, or there are enough of you that the arithmetic changes. If you are one person with a cabin bag and there is a seat on a train, take the train.
Side by side
| Way of travelling | Journey time | What you pay | Where it leaves you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | 6h 28 | €1075 fixed, for up to 3 passengers | The address you booked |
| Metered taxi | 6h 28, plus whatever the traffic does | Metered — not known until you arrive | The address you booked |
Split 3 ways, the €1075 fare is €359 a head — a rail ticket is priced per person, this one is priced per car.
Journey time and distance are measured on the road graph this route is priced from. Rail times are the fastest scheduled service and are shown only where we have verified one. We publish no figure for a metered taxi because the tariff is set locally and the fare is not known in advance — which is the difference this table exists to show.
What is included
Agreed in full before you book. Traffic, tolls and airport charges are already in it — the meter does not exist.
We watch the flight number you give us. Land early or three hours late and the pickup moves with you, at no extra cost.
Your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.
Free waiting time after touchdown — enough for passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock.
From the exact address to the exact address. Not to the nearest station, and not to a rank at the end of the road.
Infant, child and booster seats specified at booking. They are not charged as an extra.
Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup at no charge. Plans change; that is not something to be fined for.
Licensed, insured, English- and German-speaking, and briefed on your journey before they set off.
Business travel
Most of what a company needs from a transfer is not a discount — it is knowing the number before the journey, and knowing somebody will be standing there holding the right name. Both are how this service already works.
Name a colleague, a client or a candidate as the passenger and put your own address on the confirmation. The driver holds their name at arrivals; the booking, the changes and the receipt stay with you.
The fare is fixed before you book, so it goes into an approval or onto an expense claim as a known number rather than an estimate. Traffic on the day changes the journey, never the amount.
Flight tracking moves the pickup with the aircraft, and the driver waits inside arrivals with a name board rather than texting from a car park. Someone you are trying to impress should not have to find anybody.
A group that outgrows a van is quoted as the combination of vehicles that actually seats it, priced per car and confirmed as one booking — not turned away at the vehicle list.
If your company runs this journey more than occasionally, it is worth a conversation rather than a form. Tell us the routes and the volume and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right operator for it.

FAQ
About 6h 28 for the 656 km in normal traffic. Build in more than that if you are catching a specific departure — the honest planning figure is the drive plus your airline's check-in deadline, not the drive alone.
From €1075 for up to 3 passengers, €1140 in Business Class and €1271 for a van seating 7. The fare is fixed at booking and covers tolls and airport access charges at both ends. There is no night or weekend surcharge.
Usually yes, and this is the most common reason this route is booked. Give us the flight you landed on and the one you need to reach; availability at very short notice depends on the hour, so call rather than book online if you are inside a couple of hours.
Yes. The flight number given at booking is tracked and the pickup moves with the real landing time at no extra cost, with 60 minutes of free waiting after touchdown to cover immigration and baggage reclaim.
Whichever your departure uses — Berlin Brandenburg Airport has 2 terminals and they are not walkable from one another in the time a connection allows. Give us the flight number at booking and the drop-off is set from it.
We invoice the booker. Where an airline has accepted liability for ground transport it normally reimburses on production of a receipt, and the invoice we issue carries the route, date, passenger name and fare — the four things a claim form asks for.
