Airport shuttle and chauffeur Strasbourg-Entzheim (SXB)

Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport (IATA code SXB, ICAO code LFST) handles about 1.3 million passengers per year through a single compact terminal, 12 km southwest of the centre. The core network is the Air France domestic radials to Paris CDG (multiple daily frequencies), Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Toulouse, complemented by seasonal Volotea and Ryanair low-cost flights to Portugal, Spain and Northern Europe. No direct long-haul flights operate from SXB.

The FJ13 shuttle links the terminal to the city centre (Place Kleber), the TGV station, hotels and the Wacken district in 20 min via the A35, door to door. Tram E also serves the centre in 9 min but requires handling your own luggage and has no direct link for business travel or groups. SXB also remains the closest airport to the Strasbourg European institutions (European Parliament, Council of Europe, European Court of Human Rights), making it a mixed leisure and business hub.

Strasbourg-Entzheim operates no long-haul flights: for intercontinental destinations (US, Asia, Middle East, Africa), Frankfurt Airport (FRA), Europe's leading Lufthansa hub with over 300 direct destinations, is the natural departure point. It lies 220 km from Strasbourg, about 2h by road via the A35 then A5.

Two public options exist: the Lufthansa Express bus, departing from Strasbourg station and the Hilton hotel and reaching Terminal 1 in about 2h30 with a limited number of daily departures; and the train, with a connection at Offenburg or Mannheim before the airport line. FJ13 offers a direct alternative: a private door-to-door transfer, from your home, hotel or company, at the time of your choice. It suits very early or late flights outside bus hours, families and groups, bulky luggage, and travellers who want to avoid connections. Return-flight tracking included, fixed rate confirmed at booking, same-day return possible with on-site wait.

Beyond Frankfurt, several nearby airports widen the flight offer from Strasbourg. Karlsruhe-Baden-Baden Airport (FKB), 60 km and 50 min via the A35 and the Europabrucke, is a Ryanair base for Southern and Eastern Europe: a shuttle to FKB from Strasbourg is often cheaper and simpler than reaching a large hub. Stuttgart Airport (STR), 150 km and 1h45, adds Eurowings and long-haul links via the German hubs.

To the south, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL/MLH), 130 km and 1h30, is a major easyJet hub, and Zurich Airport (ZRH), 230 km and 2h15, offers Swiss and Star Alliance long-haul connections. FJ13 serves all four airports by private transfer, Swiss vignette included for Basel and Zurich, with a fixed rate and systematic flight tracking. At the quote stage, FJ13 can compare options based on your destination, timing and budget.

The European Parliament holds 12 plenary sessions per year in Strasbourg, typically Monday afternoon to Thursday afternoon. These weeks generate concentrated VTC demand peaks: SXB to Wacken or avenue de la Paix hotels on Monday evening, hotels to SXB on Thursday between 14:00 and 16:00, plus internal missions throughout the week (Louise Weiss building, Palais de l'Europe, Council of Europe building).

FJ13 dedicates a pool of drivers to plenary sessions, holds institutional parking access badges and coordinates group pickups at chamber exits. MEPs and their assistants benefit from negotiated rates through a renewable annual framework contract.

Two options exist to reach Strasbourg Airport: the taxi and the chauffeur service (VTC). A taxi runs on the meter, is picked up at a rank or hailed, and charges according to actual traffic: the final amount is only known on arrival. The chauffeur service is booked in advance and applies a fixed rate, known and confirmed at booking, with no variation due to congestion or terminal waiting.

FJ13 is a chauffeur company. Every ride is planned, the driver picks you up at the address of your choice (home, hotel, station, company) and waits at the terminal exit with a name board. The flight number is tracked live, waiting is included in case of airline delay, and the vehicle (E-Class or V-Class) is chosen by number of passengers and luggage. For a planned airport shuttle, one way or return, the chauffeur option is more predictable than a taxi taken on the spot.

The price of a shuttle or chauffeur transfer to Strasbourg Airport depends on the pickup point (city centre, station, hotel, a Bas-Rhin town) or the destination (Frankfurt, Baden-Baden, Stuttgart, Europa-Park), the time and the vehicle (E-Class or V-Class). FJ13 applies a fixed rate: the amount is confirmed before booking, with no meter and no traffic surcharge. Standard luggage is included.
