How it works

Just send a message.

A dedicated manager, the whole trip.

No call centre and no app. One WhatsApp thread with the same manager, from the first message to the last ride, and an answer within 15 minutes.

Plans change. That's fine.

A demo that runs long, a quality engineer joining on Thursday, a dinner moved to the Main Tower: send one message and we re-plan. No new booking, no fee for changes within the booked time.

  4. Your chauffeur for Thursday: name, mobile number and number plate follow this evening. In the lobby at 08:00.

    18:10

Same chauffeur, same car, one WhatsApp thread for all four days.

A day at Formnext with a chauffeur

From the first demo to the last handshake. One car.

  1. 08:15

    Hotel → Messe Frankfurt

    The chauffeur is in the lobby with the day's route. Drop-off at the Portalhaus, straight into Halls 11 and 12 as the doors open at 09:00.

  2. 12:30

    Supplier lunch in the city centre

    Same car, same chauffeur. Ten minutes to a quiet table near the Opernplatz, spec sheets on the back seat, and back in the halls for the afternoon demos.

  3. 18:00

    Halls close

    The taxi queue at the Portalhaus grows by the minute. Your car waits at the entrance you chose, and the debrief starts in the back seat.

  4. 20:00

    Dinner at the Main Tower

    The car waits below while you host a customer high above the skyline. Back to the hotel when you say, and the same chauffeur is in the lobby tomorrow at 08:15.

We know Messe Frankfurt

Pick-up where the crowd isn't.

Formnext fills Halls 11 and 12 and the Portalhaus with around 800 exhibitors and 38,000 visitors, in the same week as Fi Europe and Euro Finance Week. At 18:00 everyone heads for the Portalhaus. Your chauffeur goes where you tell them.

Pick-up points we use
  • Eingang Portalhaus

    The entrance right at Halls 11 and 12, and the busiest point at closing time.

    A few minutes along the Via Mobile walkway, usually calmer when the halls close.

  • Eingang City/Festhalle

    Central, by the Festhalle, for meetings elsewhere on the grounds.

  • Your hotel lobby

    The chauffeur waits inside and carries the luggage.

The flight that landed at noon

A medtech team's morning flight into FRA was three hours late. The chauffeur tracked it, met them in arrivals with the V-Class and drove them straight to the Portalhaus. They made their 14:00 demo, and the suitcases went on to the hotel.

A vendor visit outside the city

An automotive procurement team was invited to a service provider's application centre in the region on Thursday afternoon. Same V-Class, same chauffeur: out of the Portalhaus after lunch, back in the city centre in time for dinner.
