⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official Swedavia taxi ranks outside Terminal 5 or Terminal 2; unaffiliated drivers near SkyCity/T4 may charge much higher fares.
  • Check the yellow comparison-price label (jämförpris) on any Swedish taxi before getting in, and agree on a fixed price or confirm the meter.
  • Sweden is nearly cashless: Flygbussarna and SL do not accept cash on board, so have a card or mobile payment ready.
  • Be wary of anyone offering a cheap ride inside the terminal; licensed taxis and pre-booked transfers have designated pick-up areas.
