The path from the airport to Oase is pretty straightforward, i.e. it is a shorter (at least in time) than from downtown Frankfurt. I would guess it is not much more than 40e. I took taxi from downtown Frankfurt to Oase couple of years ago and it was about 50 euros. When I drive from the airport to Oase, it is much quicker than to have to get out of downtown Frankfurt first. You are pretty much straight onto A5 from the Airport, few minutes up to the Bad Homburg krauz, and from there I would guess it is about 10-15 minutes more.
I have not used taxi in Germany for quite some while as I always rent a car nowdays, but I would say it should definetly not be more than 50e unless the rates have been skyrocketing in the last couple of years.

For those who are from the US the Euro is probably going to go as a high as $1.45 by the end of the year according to a Deutsche Bank report. Don't start with me on Bush, I voted for Kerry and Al Gore before that.
I have taken a taxi from FRA to Oase about 10 times and it always cost betwen 40- 50 Euro depending on time of day, the highway construction and the stau (German for "traffic jam").
The poster who wrote otherwise has a habit of providing false, misleading information without any basis in reality. Can't Believe that Guy's Bullsh*t.
I haven' take a taxi from the airport in a couple of years. I generally drive a rental which is the best option IMO. I also occasionally take public transportation which is not difficult and also the cheapest option.

Not necessarily. At sixty.com you can often rent a Smart car for five euro per day. This beats public transportation.

I just checked on the Sixt web site. I didn't see anything there for less than 54 euros per day. Would you point me to the right place. Five euros is less than public transport. Help me out here on this one. It sounds too good to be true.

Does that 5 Euro rate include insurance? Someone told me that you have pay extra for auto insurance when you rent a car in Germany. The idea of driving in Europe makes me nervous anyway. I believe in saving the Earth and prefer using public transportation, although SMART cars are fuel efficient its still better for mother Earth if we take the train.

Five is pretty cheap. I think that would be on a weekend with a multiple day rental and limited mileage.
The problem is the small Smart is hardly the type of car to take on the autobahn. A roadster or a four-four would be ok. The four-two is only designed for driving within the city. BTW, I was once stuck with the roadster. It is the most uncomfortable car I have ever been in and you have to grease your briefcase if you want it to fit inside the car (there is no trunk). Hard to think such a car would come from the minds of Mercedes. Is it any wonder they lose money!
It is with an "I" not a "Y".
If you have a credit card which covers your insurance (Most gold or platinum cards, but check with your card company) you can take the cars without insurance. It makes it a lot cheaper.
Sixti is the discount branch of sixt and only offers two types of cars, the smart and the Ford Focus. The smart starts at 5€ and the Focus at 12€ or something like that, and can start on a daily basis. It depends on how early you rent and how many cars they have. I tried it once, and the smart is one of the worst cars ever made, and a pain in the ass to drive. Driving it on a highway is marginally quicker than a bus, but at least you are more mobile.
I tried Sixti in Frankfurt. You might get the 5 euro deal if you book early enough.
To get the total cost of Sixti, remember you have to buy fuel, consider parking if you're staying in the city, and usually wash the car at the end.
The big companies are all at the central train station. Sixti's office is on the subway line a few stops from the centre. It's a little tricky to access when you return the vehicle, lots of one-way streets.
The Smart has a few annoyances, that's for sure. But I like the value for money and would recommend it for someone who's staying a few days minimum and wants to get out to World or Oase most days.
I had 2 sessions with Ella (she also said something like Steffi first), and had good time back in June. But, not sure if she is 26....She seemed to be much younger, w/o the make-up on, like 20yrs.
By the way, could you give me more details on Veronika?? Ella was always with some beautiful ladies, but I was not sure which one was Veronika.
Are they still around?? I remember her saying that she would be gone for a while and would be back in the mid Aug (I guess she is back now, from your report, if we are talking about the same Ella).
Thanks,
[QUOTE=Toscana]Ella from Russia, Kaliningrad (I thought she had been reviewed, but seemingly not). 26, about 162-164 cms before heels, shoulder length blonde hair, big smile, B breasts, splendid bum. Hangs around with Veronika, well known at the club, and a Russian beauty I didn’t manage to get hold of.
Sorry, I have made this mistake before. It is [url]www.sixti.com[/url]. And they have three classes of cars. I am crrently renting a Volvo from them, which is their top class, but still way cheaper than comparable models from other companies. So if you see a Volvo with "sixti.com" ad plastered all over it parked in front of FKKW, chances are that I am inside (the club, not the Volvo).
The Smart is fine, even the four-two. OK, it only goes up to 120 kmh, but so what. It is legal on the Autobahn. Sixti does not offer the roadster any more. But I rented it once from them. It looks like a toy Ferrari, and I have never had as many heads turning my way as when I drove this car through Frankfurt. It is a blast to drive. Yes, the statement about the missing trunk is true. But you can put your luggage on the passenger seat. Problem solved.
Fuel costs: these things drive on diesel, and they are incredibly fuel efficient. And in about 20 rentals I was only once required to pay the charge for washing the car.
Yes, the 5 euro rate is pretty much restricted to weekend rentals of more than one day. And the km allowance is also minimal, only 100 per day. But still, it is a great deal.

I can not see any car with GPS system on sixti . How can I book a car with GPS?
Thanks
Sixti cars don't have GPS.
Veronika always seems to be around when I am there, and of course hangs out with the other Russian girls.
She is tall with rather thick curly brown hair a bit longer than shoulder length (?). She has breasts on the larger side. Big mouth, literally and figuratively. She is always the one making the jokes in the group, and has a dirty laugh.
It's a matter of taste, but she is not my type, so I cannot say anything on performance.
