Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Taxi stands are located directly outside Terminal 1 (all modules) and Terminal 2, as well as in the Central Area (MAC). Taxis are available 24/7. The journey to Munich city center takes approximately 40-45 minutes and is the most expensive option. Payment can be made by cash or credit card.

Rental Cars

The Car Rental Center is located in the Central Area/Munich Airport Center (MAC), Level 03, directly opposite Terminal 1. All major international companies like Sixt, Avis, Europcar, and Hertz are represented. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak seasons.

Public Transportation

The airport is efficiently connected to the city center by two main options. The S-Bahn train lines S1 and S8 depart from the airport station (beneath the Central Area) every 10-20 minutes, reaching the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) in about 45 minutes. The Lufthansa Express Bus also provides a direct connection to Munich Central Station and Munich North (Schwabing), with frequent departures from both terminals.
