Taxi in Stockholm

Finding a taxi in Stockholm

It's almost always easy to find a taxi in Stockholm, at least along the main streets. Taxicabs in Stockholm come in all colors, and can be recognized by the roof signs and yellow license plates.The cabs can be hailed from the pavement, or found outside hotels, train stations or at a taxi stand. Usual taxi cars allow four customers, but smaller taxi vans that accept 6-7 people are also fairly common.

Taxis can also be booked in advance, by calling one of the taxi companies.

General taxi fares in Stockholm

Taxi fares in Stockholm aren't regulated; it's up to every company to set their own prices. The main six or seven taxi companies have basically similar price strategies, but there are also smaller companies that tend to be more expensive, sometimes by up to 100%. The main advice is to only use the companies you know (or these mentioned below) to avoid getting ripped off. The larger companies are very unlikely to scam you in any way.

Fares begin at about 35-45 kronor, and the taximeter then adds about 10 kronor per kilometer, depending on what time it is. See below for typical fares. The final price already includes a tip to the driver, but an extra tip of 5-10% is always welcome, however not necessary.
