Düsseldorf Messe transfers
Taxis charge a flat fare of €25 between the airport and all Messe entrances, about 10 minutes, day and night. By rail, U80 runs from the airport via the city centre and Hauptbahnhof to Messe Ost. On selected event days, U81 links the airport with Messe Nord in about 7 minutes. For big fairs, many visitors pre-book a chauffeur or Messe shuttle, as taxis are in high demand.
Chauffeurs and longer trips
Düsseldorf has limousine and VIP coach firms for business travel and congresses, usually with prices on request. Cologne is about 40 minutes away by regional train from the airport station, and a fixed-price transfer from south Cologne to Düsseldorf Airport costs about €180–215. See more Germany transfers.
