Distance, travel time, every transport option compared, and the real fixed prices — everything you need to plan your transfer.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) sits about 40 km (25 miles) north of central Stockholm. A direct car transfer takes roughly 35–45 minutes depending on traffic and time of day — a bit longer during rush hour (7:30–9:00 and 16:00–18:00 on weekdays), a bit quicker late at night. There's no single "best" way to make the trip; it depends on your group size, luggage, and how much you value door-to-door convenience over the lowest possible per-person cost.
| Option | Typical Price | Travel Time | Door-to-Door? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arlanda Express (train) | ~295–320 kr per person | ~18–20 min to Central Station | No — station only |
| Flygbussarna (airport bus) | ~119–139 kr per person | ~40–50 min to Cityterminalen | No — fixed stops |
| Metered street taxi | Varies with traffic — often 900–3,000+ kr, and unlicensed or unmetered drivers at the airport can overcharge tourists significantly | ~35–45 min | Yes |
| Fixed-price private transfer (us) | 739 kr (Standard), 790 kr (Premium), 1,090 kr (Van) — per vehicle, not per person | ~35–45 min | Yes |
Train and bus prices are indicative and set by their own operators — check their current fares before you travel. Our fixed prices are what we actually charge, no surprises.
The train and bus prices above are per person — so for a family of four, the Arlanda Express alone can cost more than a fixed-price private transfer for the whole group, with door-to-door comfort and no lugging bags through a station.
| Vehicle | Arlanda → Stockholm City | Stockholm City → Arlanda |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Sedan (up to 4) | 739 kr | 629 kr |
| Premium Sedan (up to 4) | 790 kr | 680 kr |
| Minibus (up to 7) | 1,090 kr | 890 kr |

Arlanda has four terminals. International flights (including most non-Schengen arrivals) typically use Terminal 5, while domestic and many European flights use Terminal 2 or Terminal 4. Terminal 3 handles some international arrivals as well. Whichever terminal you land at, share your flight number when booking and your driver will track it and meet you in the correct arrivals hall — you don't need to work out the terminal yourself.

About 40 km (25 miles) north of central Stockholm — a direct car transfer takes roughly 35–45 minutes depending on traffic.
The Flygbussarna airport bus is usually the cheapest per-person option, followed by the Arlanda Express. For groups of two or more, a fixed-price private transfer is often cheaper per person than the train, since our price is per vehicle, not per passenger.
A fixed-price private transfer is usually cheaper and more predictable than a metered street taxi — the meter can run higher in heavy traffic, while our fixed price is agreed before you travel.
