By Taxi /Rideshare

At Munich Airport, which consists of two main terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, you can locate taxi stands just outside the arrival areas of both terminals. These stands are clearly marked with signs reading “Taxi / Taxis.” Official taxis are cream-coloured and operate 24 hours a day. In addition to traditional taxis, ride-hailing services such as Uber, Free Now, and Bolt are available and can be booked via their respective apps. However, pickups for these services are usually designated at specific areas rather than the main taxi stands.

By car

You can easily book a rental car online through one of Munich Airport’s official partners, allowing for immediate pickup upon arrival. Road signs on the outskirts of town and throughout the entire city indicate the way to the MOC – Event Center Messe München in the north of Munich. The MOC is directly connected to the freeway. Leave the freeway A9 direction Nürnberg / München at the exit München-Freimann (No. 74). You will be on Heidemannstraße, from which you must turn left after 500 meters into Lilienthalallee.

Parking at the MOC

There are 1,500 underground car parking spaces available directly at the MOC. Trailers are not permitted in the underground car park. The underground car park is 2.20 m high.
