How much does a taxi between Arlanda and central Stockholm cost?
Maximum price in the airport zone, fixed prices and how to compare.
Short answer
A taxi from Arlanda costs at most SEK 825 for up to four passengers to one address inside Swedavia's marked price zone. Taxi prices are otherwise free, so companies set their own: Sverigetaxi, for example, publishes a fixed price of SEK 695 for a standard car within Stockholm city, excluding an airport terminal fee.
Why
- Swedavia states that the maximum price within the marked zone is SEK 825 for up to four passengers and SEK 1,300 for five to eight passengers in a larger car, to one address, and that the meter rate applies outside the zone.
- According to the Swedish Transport Agency, taxi pricing is free with no maximum fare, and the driver must give a binding price quote if the comparison price (jämförpris) exceeds SEK 700.
- Sverigetaxi publishes a fixed price of SEK 695 for a standard car with one to four passengers between Arlanda and Stockholm city, plus a SEK 100 terminal fee for pre-booked trips from Terminals 4 and 5.
Details
A fixed price should be entered and visible in the taximeter before the trip starts, and you should ask for a taximeter receipt at the end. Swedavia allows only approved taxis at the stand and warns against any driver who offers a ride inside the arrivals hall. Travel time is about 40 minutes, according to Visit Stockholm. See Arlanda and its alternatives for the other options and what to declare to customs at Arlanda before you reach the taxi stand.
Tip
Book through the company's app or phone so that the price is shown before the trip, and ask for the price in kronor. Swedavia advises pre-booking at night, when taxis can be scarce.
What may differ
The price depends on the number of passengers, the size of the car and the destination: outside the marked zone the meter rate applies, and each company sets its own fixed prices and fees.
Common misconception
Taxi fares in Sweden are set by the government, so every taxi costs the same.
What actually happens
The Swedish Transport Agency states that taxi pricing is free and has no maximum fare, which is why the comparison price on the car should be checked before you ride.
