⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official Swedavia taxi rank at T5 or T2; drivers inside the terminal or outside T4/SkyCity may be unaffiliated and charge far more than the 825 kr zone cap.
  • Before getting into any taxi, check the yellow comparison-price label (jämförpris) on the rear window; this shows the price for a standard 10 km / 15 min ride and helps you avoid overpriced cabs.
  • Flygbussarna and SL do not accept cash; buy tickets with card or mobile, or risk being unable to board.
  • Never board a taxi without agreeing on fixed price first if you do not want the meter; unaffiliated drivers may take longer routes.
