i've booked flights into munich on the thursday and returning on monday for under �250. aer lingus are having a sale at the moment. reckon it will cost another �80 for return train to stuttgart.depending on time of game we might stay in munich and get the train early to stuttgart and then return to munich later that night.

for paris we flew into chareoli (aka brusselles) and got train to paris but it ended up costing us about �100 ea and taxi quoted us �300 for 6 but we had already paid for train!!

was in munich last year and a 30 minute taxi journey from Munich airport , mostly on motorway was �50, did it 4 times price never varied by more than a �

Check out the Hertz web site 3 of us are flying into Frankfurt and got a Mondeo size car for �66 per day incl taxes.
It may work out cheaper than taxis.
Most hotels will have a car park.

Myself and 2 mates fly into Frankfurt Hahn on Friday evening. We're going to hire a car and drive straight to Stuttgart that night. We should get to our hotel at around midnight.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned (couldn't be arsed trawling through the 25+ pages in this thread!) but if you're looking for cheap accommodation and don't mind a bit of roughing it go to the following for camping just 10 mins train outside Stuttgart:

http://www.campingplatz-stuttgart.de...sch/Index.html

Sent them a mail last week and booked for under 10 Euro a night!!!

Now all I have to do is find some tickets!

That would be my advice anyway. It just seems a little messy if you're getting the train considering that it's an hour and a half drive just to get to the train station. We haven't checked the price of the car hire yet but it normally works out ok if it's between 3 or 4 people. What I would say though is that if you're hiring a car I'd organise it a bit before flying as God only knows how many Irish fans are flying Ryanair into Frankfurt Hahn that weekend and they will only have so many cars available.

while Im flying into Stuttgart, it would appear that loads are flying into Hahn, why dont 1 of you set up a thread to collect numbers from the flights and look into hiring a coach. Its 163 miles and according to autoroute a 2 1/2 hr drive. Even with 30 on a coach it would probably be far cheaper than hiring cars and more crack!!
