Is There a Student Price?

Updated 3 min read

A fair question, and worth an honest answer rather than a dodge: we don't currently run a specific student discount on transfers. What follows explains why, and — more usefully — how the way pricing already works can actually suit a student budget better than it might first seem.

Why there isn't a separate student rate

Pricing runs on one fixed figure per route and vehicle category, shown to every booking before you pay, rather than a base rate with discounts layered on for different groups. It's a simple system by design — what you see is what you pay, with nothing to apply or prove eligibility for.

The per-car price already works in your favour if you're sharing

Because the price is for the whole car rather than per person, splitting it between two, three or four people travelling together often works out cheaper per head than a solo student fare on public transport — especially with luggage in the mix. If you're heading to or from Arlanda with flatmates, coursemates or family, the maths is worth doing for your specific group size before assuming a car is out of budget.

The fixed price is shown before anyone commits to booking, so you can check exactly what it comes to per person once split, with no guesswork involved.

Booking around a tight budget without a discount

  • Share the ride with others heading the same way — the fixed price divides further the more of you there are, up to the vehicle's passenger limit.
  • Book early where your plans allow it, so there's no last-minute pressure that might push you toward a less planned, potentially pricier option.
  • Cancel free of charge more than 12 hours ahead if plans change — no cost to your budget for a trip that ends up not happening.

Comparing it properly before you decide

It's worth actually running the comparison for your specific trip rather than assuming a car is out of reach — check the fixed price on /prices for your route and vehicle category, divide it by how many of you are travelling, and weigh that against public transport's per-person fare plus whatever it takes to get from a station to your actual address. For a solo trip with light luggage, public transport is often still the more economical choice; for a shared trip with real luggage, the gap can close considerably or disappear entirely.

Questions people ask before booking

Is there a student discount on airport transfers?

Not currently — pricing is one fixed figure per route and vehicle category, the same for everyone, rather than a discounted rate for specific groups.

Is it worth booking a car if I'm travelling alone as a student?

It depends on your budget and how much luggage you have — for a solo trip, public transport is often the more economical choice. Sharing a car with others changes that maths considerably.

How does splitting the cost work if I'm travelling with friends?

The price is fixed for the whole car regardless of passenger count within its limit, so divide it by however many of you are actually sharing the ride to see the true per-person cost.

Can I cancel for free if my plans change?

Yes — more than 12 hours before pickup, cancellation is free and refunded in full.

Does luggage affect the price if I'm a student with a lot of bags?

The price depends on the vehicle category needed for your luggage and passenger count, not a separate per-bag fee — check the category's luggage budget against what you're bringing.
