Arriving at Stuttgart Airport from the UK or Ireland
Editorial team: Stuttgart Airport Transfer · Updated:
Arrange your Stuttgart transfer using the flight you have actually booked and the local arrival date and time shown for STR. Flight schedules vary, so check current connections with your airline or the airport rather than relying on an old list of direct routes.
For the transfer you need the full destination address, every passenger and the luggage total. The flight number is optional: you can book without one. If you add it, use the final flight into Stuttgart. If you are travelling to a hotel, compare its street address and postcode with the accommodation confirmation. A chain name alone may identify several different properties.
Use Stuttgart local time for the pickup
Read the arrival time for Stuttgart on your airline confirmation. Do not copy the departure time from the UK or Ireland into the pickup field. Use the Europe/Berlin time zone and check the date again if your journey or planned pickup crosses midnight.
For a regular terminal arrival, we recommend pickup 45 minutes after scheduled landing. This is a planning allowance for leaving the aircraft, possible border checks and baggage collection, not a promise that those steps will take exactly that long. Allow more time if your circumstances require it.
Provide the last flight in a connecting itinerary
If you change planes, supply the number of the flight that lands at STR. The earlier flight helps you plan the overall journey but does not identify the terminal arrival the driver needs to meet. Check the information again if the airline rebooks your connection.
Flight details help dispatch identify your arrival; they do not enable automatic flight tracking or an automatic pickup change. Send any new flight number, local date and expected arrival time with your booking reference and ask dispatch to confirm a revised pickup.
Find the driver and keep contact details available
For ordinary terminal pickups, the driver meets you in public arrivals on Level 2, after baggage reclaim, with a sign bearing the guest’s name. This applies to Standard, Premium and Van. Follow the instructions in your booking confirmation and contact dispatch if you cannot identify the driver.
Give a reachable mobile number with country code and save the confirmation offline. A name sign helps with the meeting, while a phone contact is useful when baggage or the flight is delayed. The included 15 minutes of waiting start at the booked pickup time; additional waiting can be charged.
Choose the address and vehicle for the whole party
Standard and Premium each accommodate up to 4 passengers and 3 suitcases. The Van accommodates up to 8 passengers and 6 included suitcases, with a seventh suitcase possible at extra cost. Count children as passengers and request child seats when booking. Ask about bulky luggage before relying on it fitting.
For a company visit, confirm the visitor entrance or gate. For a late hotel arrival, arrange access with reception separately. A transfer does not change hotel check-in hours. Specific driver-language needs should be discussed before travelling; the language of the website is not a guarantee of the assigned driver’s languages.
Prepare the return before your departure day
Use your airline’s check-in, baggage-drop and boarding instructions to decide when to reach STR. Subtract the expected drive and a traffic allowance to choose pickup at the hotel. Complete checkout and have bags ready beforehand. Do not put the aircraft departure time in the pickup field.
Online bookings are prepaid and require at least 2 hours of notice. For shorter notice or an unusual itinerary, enquire about availability. An invoice is available on request in every vehicle class. Corporate billing processes require separate agreement rather than being created by an invoice request.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I check current flights from the UK or Ireland?
Check your airline and the official Stuttgart Airport arrivals and departures information linked from the international visitor guide. A previous route list does not establish that a connection operates on your date.
Which time do I use for my Stuttgart pickup?
Use the local date and time in Stuttgart. We recommend pickup 45 minutes after scheduled landing for a regular terminal arrival, adjusted if you need extra time.
What if I miss my connection?
Send dispatch your booking reference and the new final flight into STR with its arrival date and time. Ask for confirmation of the changed pickup; it is not adjusted automatically.
Can I arrange a late-night arrival?
Enter the actual local pickup date and time, check the booking options and arrange hotel access separately. Book in advance; under 2 hours of notice requires an availability enquiry.
Can I request an invoice for work?
Yes, in every vehicle class. Provide the billing recipient and any required reference. Online bookings are prepaid; invoice requests do not automatically establish monthly consolidated billing.
