Where to get a taxi at Oslo Airport?
The Oslo Airport taxi rank is on ground level, outside the terminal. You’ll find a taxi booking machine from which you can request a car and get a price estimate. Wait time is about 3 to 5 minutes, but it can be longer depending on how busy the airport is.
Oslo Airport authorities recommend only getting into a taxi with an active booking or negotiating a price directly with the driver.
If you’d like to avoid queueing outside at the rank and continue your journey as soon as you enter the arrivals hall, you can pre-book your Oslo Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups. Your driver will wait for you, ready to take you to your destination.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Oslo Airport
- Standard Olso Airport taxis use a taximeter. Before your trip starts, ensure it has been reset. It should only display the NOK 80 base fare.
- Remember that night-time, weekend and holiday taxi rates are much higher than daytime rides.
- You must request a taxi at the booking machine outside the terminal. You can’t hop in the first available vehicle.
- Pre-booking is highly recommended if you travel to a destination other than Oslo city centre. Likewise, pre-booking is the best way to skip queues when the airport is busy.
- Most Oslo Airport taxis are safe, but the occasional driver trying to overcharge tourists is not unheard of. Confirm the fare before the ride starts. As a rule, drivers cannot charge more than the estimate they gave or what’s written on the taximeter.
- All Oslo Airport taxi drivers accept debit cards. You can’t be charged extra for using this payment method.
- If you want to pay in cash, ensure you have small bank notes in Norwegian Krones. You can’t pay in Euros.
- You can tip your driver if you’re happy with the service. Tipping is unusual but always appreciated.
- You’re unlikely to face any language barrier as most taxi drivers in Oslo speak English. However, having your destination’s address written down is a good idea to avoid misunderstandings.
- After completing your ride, ask your driver for a receipt. You’ll need it if you left some belongings in the car or want to file a complaint.
- If travelling as a group, pre-book your Oslo Airport taxi service. It’s unlikely that you’ll find a minivan at the taxi rank. If you don’t, you risk paying for two cars, which will be more expensive.
How do I take an Oslo Airport to my hotel?
Even when used to travelling, dealing with public transport in a city you’re unfamiliar with is rarely the most thrilling after landing. After all, it always adds the extra steps of checking itineraries and schedules and planning the best way to get from the station to your hotel.
If you’re travelling light, consider taking the Flytoget Airport Express or the Vy train to Oslo city centre as a budget-friendly option. The trip takes about 25 minutes, making it a quick and affordable way to reach the city. Keep in mind that upon arriving at the train station, you may need to take a taxi or a bus to get to your hotel.
If taking a train isn’t convenient for you – whether you’re arriving outside the train operating hours or just want to avoid extra transfers – opting for an Oslo Airport taxi is a comfortable choice. Once in the car, you have nothing to worry about: no luggage to handle, no schedules to check, and no last-minute transfers to organise. You’ll only have to sit back and relax while being driven to your destination.
