You'll arrive about 9m sooner (2h 57m by train vs 3h 6m by car). Tickets start at around $65 (€53) compared to roughly $44 (€35) in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.
Direct services run with Regionalverkehre Start Deutschland GmbH.
Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
