One of the nice features of returning a car rental at Frankfurt am Main Airport is that you can return your car to either terminal building regardless of where you rented the car from in the first place. This can be a real convenience since it is not at all uncommon to have your departing flight leave from a different terminal than you're arriving flight arrived at. As you approach the airport on either Audubon A3, A5, or Motorway B43, look for the signage for your proper terminal and then look for car rental return signage. Once you have parked your car all you need to do is note the gas level and mileage, lock the car, and then drop your contract and your keys in the lockbox for your rental car provider.
Given that this is a large international airport there are plenty of options for transportation to get you from the airport to the center of the city. These include things such as trains, buses taxis, shuttles, and town cars.

More staffing at the Zurich airport drop off would have been better. The only employee was overwhelmed and we had to wait a long time.

Wenn ich wochenlang Testa-Nutzungs E-Mails bekomme, erwarte ich auch einen Tesla beim Abholen. Mir wurde eine anderes E-Auto angeboten, aber der Kofferraum war nicht ausreichend. Der angebotene MB E220D war dann am anderen Endes des Angebotsspekturms. Er lies sich aber sehr gut fahren.

Great new car with Bluetooth CarPlay, charging ports (USB-A). It was a plug-in hybrid, and we were not given any instructions on how to charge it. We returned it with an empty batter and were not charged extra (just had to fill it with gasoline). Pickup at Frankfurt airport was a mess. They did not have enough cars ready. We wound up getting one after about 45-60 minutes total time in line. They didn’t have enough agents, and the ones there were very nice but didn’t control the crowds well, who started trying to cut in line. Other than the very stressful check-in, the rest of the experience couldn’t have been better

The billing was absolutely absurd - Kayak offered me a rate of less than $50/day. Budget then added all these hidden fees — like a 130€ “location” fee for renting the vehicle for the airport. The final bill was more than 2x what Kayak had offered me.
