We do not have a service area. We have a rate card.
Most operators publish a boundary and refuse what falls outside it. We publish a base fare and a price per kilometre, which means the question is never whether we will drive somewhere but simply what it costs. That card runs from the terminal doorstep out to about 150 kilometres — far enough to reach Gävle, Skavsta, Eskilstuna and Västerås. Past that we still drive; we just quote the journey individually instead of taking a number off a table.
We serve Stockholm, Uppsala and the whole Mälardalen from Arlanda, and the price is always the same calculation: a base fare plus a rate per kilometre driven, rounded up to the nearest 5 SEK, with a minimum fare underneath. For an Economy car that is 255 SEK plus 11 SEK per kilometre, floored at 445. So Sigtuna at 15 km is 445, Kista at 30 is 585, Stockholm and Uppsala at 40 are both 695, the cruise quays at 45 are 750, and Gävle at 140 is 1 795. The prices below are starting from figures — we calculate the real distance to your actual address and confirm the exact number in writing before you book. Beyond 150 km we quote individually.

A boundary is a business decision. Distance is a fact.
Publishing the arithmetic instead of a map has one awkward consequence we are stuck with, and we would rather point at it than hope you miss it.
One formula, everywhere
Base fare + (per km × km), rounded up to the nearest 5 SEK, floored at the minimum. The full card for all five vehicle classes is on the transfers page. Nothing on this page is chosen by hand.
The floor, not the formula
Under about 18 km the calculation falls below the minimum fare, so everything inside Sigtuna Municipality costs 445 SEK. A 3 km hop between terminals costs the same as the 15 km run into Sigtuna, because a car and a driver still have to come.
Direction is free
Uppsala is 40 km north and Stockholm 40 km south, so both are 695 SEK. A published per-kilometre rate leaves no room to charge more for the direction with the wealthier passengers, which is rather the point of publishing it.
150 km is where it stops
Past that the driver's empty return leg becomes most of the job and the formula stops describing the work. We still drive it — we quote it individually and confirm in writing first.
Rings, not borders.
A schematic rather than a map: direction and distance are roughly right, everything else is not. The tables below carry the actual numbers.
Every one of these is arithmetic, not opinion.
Economy car, per vehicle rather than per person, inclusive of tolls, the congestion charge, the Arlanda access charge, parking, waiting and luggage. For the other four vehicle classes, see the rate card.
0–20 km
Sigtuna Municipality and the airport's own doorstep. Every Economy fare in this band except Upplands Väsby and Knivsta is the 445 SEK minimum rather than a distance calculation — the arithmetic falls through the floor.
20–35 km
The northern suburbs and the Järva belt. This is where most of our weekday corporate work sits, and where the car most often beats public transport because the rail lines run the wrong way.
35–50 km
Central Stockholm, Uppsala, Bromma and the cruise quays. Note that Uppsala and Stockholm are the same 40 km in opposite directions, so they cost the same — a published per-kilometre rate leaves no room for charging more in one direction than the other.
50–100 km
The wider Mälardalen and the ferry ports. Still ordinary card pricing, but the driver's return leg is now a real part of the day, so book these ahead rather than an hour before.
100–150 km
The last band on the card. A vehicle is out for most of a working day, so we ask for notice measured in days — but the price is still the formula, not a negotiation.
These are starting from prices for an Economy car, derived from distances measured to the centre of each place. Your actual address will be a kilometre or two either side, and we calculate the real figure — the same way, from the same card — when we quote. The number we confirm in writing is the number you pay: it does not move for traffic, for the hour of day, or because it turns out to be a busy Saturday. Not seeing your address? It is very likely a few kronor either side of the nearest place listed. Send it to us and you will have the exact figure, usually within the hour.
The connections nobody plans for.
Inter-airport runs and quayside pickups are a bigger part of our work than the route pages suggest, and they are the ones people leave until far too late.

Prices from, per vehicle. Skavsta is the one to plan properly: at about 140 km it is nearly two hours from Arlanda and there is no useful public transport link between the two airports, so a mis-timed connection there is an expensive afternoon. For sailings, we ask for your ship, deck and muster time rather than just an hour — the reasoning is on the cruise terminals page, along with the advice not to book a flight before 11:00 on disembarkation day. The ship will not wait, and neither will the check-in desk.
Beyond 150 km we still drive. We just stop publishing.
This is the only place our published pricing stops, and it is a limit of the formula rather than of where a car will go.
The empty return leg
A per-kilometre rate built around a 40 km airport run assumes the car finds other work at the far end. At 200 km it will not — the driver comes back empty, and the return is most of the day. Publishing a number that does not cover that, then adjusting it afterwards, is exactly the behaviour the rest of this site exists to avoid.
Quote it, in writing, first
Send the destination and the date and you get one figure, confirmed in writing, before you commit to anything. It is worked out from the same base and per-kilometre logic with the return leg accounted for honestly, rather than pulled out of the air. Allow a couple of weeks — a run like that takes a car and a driver out of circulation for a whole day.
Often, to take the train
Gävle, Uppsala, Västerås and Eskilstuna all have good rail links, and for one or two people travelling light the train usually wins on both money and time. Where a car earns its place is three or four travellers, checked luggage, an address away from a station, a night arrival, or a deadline that will not wait.
Kungsberget · ~180 km
About two hours, near Sandviken. A weekend hill most people reach by car anyway — sensible with a group and equipment.
Romme Alpin · ~200 km
Roughly two and a half hours, near Borlänge. The closest proper alpine skiing to Stockholm and a genuine day trip.
Sälen · 410 km
Four to five hours each way. It has its own airport twenty minutes from the hotels, and we will usually tell you to fly.
Åre · ~600 km
Seven hours. Served by Åre Östersund. Take the night train from Stockholm Central and sleep through it — we will drive you to the sleeper.
On several of the destinations on this page, something cheaper is better
To Sigtuna, SL buses run from the terminals and dodge the Arlanda passage fee entirely, so a 43 SEK ticket does it against our 445. To Solna, the airport coach stops at Järva krog, Frösunda and Haga Norra for 99 SEK. To Uppsala, the train takes 18 minutes. To Stockholm, the Arlanda Express takes 18 and costs 340 SEK a head — so one or two people travelling light in the middle of the day should take it, and we say so on the route page. The arithmetic changes with three or four travellers (our price is per car, theirs is per person), checked luggage, an address away from the station, a night arrival, or a deadline like a sailing. Those are the bookings we actually want, and pretending otherwise would only get us the ones we would handle badly.
Where, how far, and how much.
Questions about a specific route are answered on that route's own page. These are the ones that apply to the map as a whole.
Do you have a service area boundary?
Why does the published pricing stop at 150 kilometres?
My address is not on the list — does that mean you do not go there?
Does the price change by direction?
Do you drive between the Stockholm airports?
Are the distances exact?
Can you collect from somewhere that is not the airport?
How far ahead should I book for the outer bands?
Send the address. We will send the arithmetic.
One figure, calculated from the published card, confirmed in writing before you travel. And if the train is the better answer for your journey, we will tell you that instead.
