Coming out of this terminal
Terminal B is the arrivals side of Leipzig/Halle. You come down from the gates, collect your bags on the ground floor and walk out of a single set of doors — which makes it, in the moment that matters, one of the simplest arrivals in Germany.
Above the reclaim hall the gates are split into Schengen, mixed and non-Schengen waiting areas, which is why an arrival from outside the Schengen zone takes longer to appear downstairs than a domestic one. The exit is the same either way; only the time to reach it changes.
The other half of the airport, Terminal A, is the central check-in building. Departing passengers are dropped there and arriving ones come out here, and that split between two buildings is the one thing about Leipzig/Halle worth committing to memory.
Where your driver stands
Your driver waits on the ground floor of Terminal B with a name sign, before you reach the doors, working from the flight number you gave at booking.
This airport is also Europe’s freight hub by tonnage and runs around the clock, which means passenger arrivals land at hours when a taxi rank is a hopeful idea rather than a plan. A car that is already booked and already priced is a different proposition at 02:00 than at midday, and Leipzig/Halle has more 02:00 than most.
If you land at a different terminal
There is no wrong terminal to arrive at here — Terminal B is the only arrivals building. The mistake this airport actually produces is the reverse one: somebody waiting at Terminal A, where they last dropped you off for a departure, while you stand in Terminal B. The walk between them is short and indoors.
FAQ
Questions about this terminal
Where do I come out at Leipzig/Halle Airport?
Terminal B, on the ground floor, where baggage reclaim and the exit are. Terminal A is the check-in building and is not where arriving passengers appear.
Why does my non-Schengen flight take longer to clear?
The gates above the reclaim hall are divided into Schengen, mixed and non-Schengen waiting areas, and arrivals from outside the Schengen zone go through full border control. The exit is the same; the time to reach it is not.
Are there flights at night from Leipzig/Halle?
Yes. It is one of Europe’s largest freight hubs and operates around the clock, and the passenger schedule reaches into hours when the taxi rank and the train service are at their thinnest. That is the strongest case for a pre-booked car at this airport.
How far is the airport from Leipzig and Halle?
About 20 km from each — it sits between the two cities rather than beside either, off the A14 and the A9. The fare is calculated from the address you give rather than from the city in the airport’s name.

What is included
The same on every route, in every class, at every hour.
Fixed price
Agreed in full before you book. Traffic, tolls and airport charges are already in it — the meter does not exist.
Flight tracking
We watch the flight number you give us. Land early or three hours late and the pickup moves with you, at no extra cost.
Meet and greet
Your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.
60 minutes waiting
Free waiting time after touchdown — enough for passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock.
Door to door
From the exact address to the exact address. Not to the nearest station, and not to a rank at the end of the road.
Child seats
Infant, child and booster seats specified at booking. They are not charged as an extra.
Free cancellation
Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup at no charge. Plans change; that is not something to be fined for.
Professional drivers
Licensed, insured, English- and German-speaking, and briefed on your journey before they set off.
