Where do I get a taxi from?

Taxis at Gothenburg Airport can be found at the designated taxi rank located outside the Arrivals Hall of the terminal building. It’s worthwhile to remember that there may be a line at the taxi rank during peak times.

Convenience

Taxis at Gothenburg Airport to the city center are one of the fastest and most direct ways to travel to your hotel. Plus, if you’re traveling in a big group, with children, or with lots of luggage, this is a very convenient option. The only downsides are the uncertain fare and the wait for an available cab.

Editor’s Note

Taxis in Sweden are deregulated and most taxi companies set their own rates. It is therefore essential to be made aware of these rates before your transfer. Look for a yellow sticker which is usually placed in the side window of each taxi that displays the comparative prices of the current taxi. Alternatively you may also try to negotiate with your driver.

Useful Tips

Whenever possible, ask the driver for a fixed rate fare to your destination, as they are usually more affordable than transfers calculated by taximeter.

You are not obliged to take the first taxi in line and may choose your taxi based on the comparative prices displayed by each taxi.

Make sure to take a receipt at the end of your transfer as it contains important information which you may need if, for example, you forget one of your belongings or want to make a complaint.
