Dortmund AirportExpress and AirportShuttle use different stations
Dortmund Airport distinguishes the AirportExpress to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof from the AirportShuttle to Holzwickede station. Both connect the terminal with rail travel, but they are different routes and meeting locations.
When requesting minibus hire for Dortmund, use the station name on your arrival plan. If the group will be collected directly after a flight, provide the flight number and agree airport boarding instructions instead of sending passengers to one of the rail stations unnecessarily. Check the current airport travel notices before fixing a tightly timed connection.

Prepare your Dortmund journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Dortmund Airport (DTM) or Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Dortmund hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Dortmund Airport (DTM), use Herne arrival planning and Hagen arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Your Dortmund transport questions
Which station does the Dortmund AirportShuttle serve?
The AirportShuttle serves Holzwickede; the AirportExpress links the airport with Dortmund Hauptbahnhof. Tell the collecting operator which station, or the airport terminal, is the actual meeting point.
How do DTM and DUS compare for a Dortmund transfer?
Dortmund Airport (DTM) is about 10 km from the Dortmund map reference in a straight line; Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) is about 55 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Dortmund?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at DTM and another at DUS, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Herne?
Use Herne as the actual destination rather than entering only Dortmund as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Herne and Hagen stops compare from Dortmund?
From the Dortmund geographic reference, Herne is approximately 16.8 km away in a straight line and Hagen is 17.1 km away. A further destination reference is Bochum, approximately 17.7 km from Dortmund. The first two distances are close, so they give little basis for choosing the visit order. Use your actual addresses and appointment times. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
