How the airport pickup works
When you book a taxi from Arlanda to Uppsala, you enter your flight number in the form above. We follow the flight in real time — if you land early we are there early, and if the aircraft is delayed the pickup shifts automatically at no extra cost.
After landing you receive an SMS with your driver's name, phone number and the car's registration. The driver meets you at your terminal — 2, 4 or 5 — once you have your luggage, and then it is a direct run to Uppsala. You pay in the car by card or cash; nothing is charged in advance.
Arlanda to Uppsala — distance, time and price
Uppsala is Sweden's fourth city and its oldest university town: the cathedral, Gustavianum, the castle on the hill and Akademiska sjukhuset. It is genuinely closer to Arlanda than central Stockholm is, so an early flight from Uppsala is far less painful than most people assume — and the E4 runs almost door to door.
How long does the drive take?
The journey from Arlanda Airport to Uppsala covers roughly 38 km and takes about 40 minutes in normal traffic. We check live traffic before departure and set off accordingly, so the arrival time you are given is a realistic one rather than an optimistic average.
Your fixed price appears in the booking form the moment you enter your destination address — before you confirm anything, and before any card is involved. It does not change afterwards, whatever the traffic does.
