Can you pay by card in a taxi in Sweden?

What taxi companies say about card, cash and app payment.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, Taxi Stockholm lets you choose to pay by card or cash in the car, and Taxi Kurir lets you pay for the ride in its app. The Swedish Transport Agency's customer page does not list accepted payment methods, so ask before the trip starts.

Why

  1. Taxi Stockholm says you can choose whether to pay by card or cash in the car, or use a Taxi Stockholm account.
  2. Taxi Kurir says you always get a fixed price when you book and can pay for the ride directly in the app.
  3. According to the Swedish Transport Agency, you should always ask for a taximeter receipt, and since 1 September 2023 the company may give an electronic receipt if you can receive and read one.

Details

Taxi Stockholm also lets you choose in its app between a fixed price and the meter. Visit Stockholm notes that booking through an app shows the final price before the trip starts. For help with costs in general, see how much money you need per day in Sweden and taxi services in Stockholm.

Tip

Ask the driver before the trip whether card payment works, or book through the company's app so that payment is handled there.

What may differ

Payment options depend on the company and how you book. The Swedish Transport Agency's customer page does not cover card payment, so check the company's own page or app.

Common misconception

Taxis in Sweden only take cash, so you need kronor in your pocket.

What actually happens

Taxi Stockholm says you can choose card or cash in the car, and with Taxi Kurir you can pay directly in the app.

    Neither Uber nor Bolt publishes a fixed Stockholm fare, so which is cheaper depends on the trip and the moment, and the app estimates are the way to compare.
