How to nail the trade fair transfer

Plan stand setup, hotel shuttle and lead time for major fairs from day one – so exhibitors and booth staff arrive relaxed for opening.

  1. 01

    Define fair type and frequency

    One-time round trip (1 day fair) vs. daily commuter shuttles (full fair week) vs. setup/teardown with materials – each needs a different operator. Fair shuttle specialists have fixed routes between station or hotel and fairground.

  2. 02

    Build in stand setup and teardown

    Stand build team arrives with materials 1–2 days before fair opens, leaves after close. Materials (stand elements, displays, furniture) need cargo space or sprinter trailer. Bulky stands (lifts, lighting) need separate freight transport – provide dimensions and weight upfront.

  3. 03

    Book hotel-fair shuttle as fixed schedule

    For multi-day fairs, daily 8–9 AM and 5–7 PM shuttles between hotel and fairground are standard. Rule of thumb: 1 shuttle per 50 people, 30-minute interval. Cheaper than individual taxis and ensures on-time stand opening.

  4. 04

    Plan venue standby time

    For one-time transfers, on-site standby is often part of the tour: bus stays, driver rests. Standby costs ~€30–50/h, much cheaper than active driving time. For full-day fairs (8h) two separate trips can beat 8h standby.

  5. 05

    Take lead times at major fairs seriously

    Hannover Messe, IAA Frankfurt, Messe München during Bauma: peak season fills regional operators completely. Booking 8–12 weeks before is mandatory, for major exhibitor hubs often 4–6 months. Short-notice (<4 weeks): plan operators from neighbouring regions – deadhead surcharge applies.

From practice

What really matters for trade fair transfers

What really matters for trade fair transfers

  • Branding wrap on the bus: For large fairs with your own exhibitor presence, operators often allow a magnetic, removable branding wrap – looks professional at hotel approach and is cheaper than booth advertising.

  • Separate catering and material transport: Catering boxes, goodie bags and customer material don't go in passenger area but in luggage hold or separate sprinter – otherwise boarding chaos.

  • Pre-fair driver briefing: Invite the operator to a short briefing the day before – drivers know exact hotel entrances and fair gates. Saves 15–20 minutes of morning search.

  • Brief the hotel concierge: Provide operator name, bus plate and departure times to the concierge the day before – they direct exhibitors to the right bus and you avoid 5 "where is the bus?" calls.
