Shipping to Mainz
Mainz, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, sits on the Rhine opposite Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse, and is part of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region. Its university and media companies, including the ZDF broadcaster, bring many international residents.
Choose Mainz for Wiesbaden, Bingen, Ingelheim and Rheinhessen. Frankfurt is only about 40 km away and has the same inland rate, so pick whichever destination is closer to the consignee's address.
Mainz is a short drive from Frankfurt Airport, and many consignees work in the Rhine-Main area. Wine regions such as Rheinhessen surround the city; note that wine and spirits are not covered by the household-goods relief and are taxed. For a typical LCL shipment, a rented van is enough to collect the cargo.
Mainz is also home to BioNTech and a large university, which bring scientists and students from around the world. Its old town has narrow streets, so collect your cargo at the terminal rather than ordering a truck to the door.
