Arlanda Terminal 5 Arrivals: Where to Meet Your Driver
Updated 3 min read
Terminal 5 is Arlanda's busiest arrivals point for international flights, which means it's also the terminal most travellers with a pre-booked transfer will actually land at. It's a large building with a lot of people moving through it at once, and it's fair to feel a little unsure, on a first visit, exactly where a pre-booked driver is going to be relative to where you come out.
From the baggage hall to the exit
After baggage reclaim and, where relevant, customs, arrivals routes toward exits clearly signed for the public arrivals area — follow that signage rather than trying to shortcut it, since exact routing can vary by which part of the terminal you've come through. Airport wayfinding at Arlanda is generally clear and frequent, so when in doubt, keep following the arrivals signs rather than guessing.
Terminal 5's arrivals hall is busy for good reason — it's handling a large share of Arlanda's international traffic — so allow a little patience for the walk itself, especially if several wide-body flights have landed close together.
Finding your driver once you're out
What actually connects you to your car isn't a fixed spot in the terminal, it's the driver's name, phone number and licence plate sent before pickup. Use those to identify the car or, if it's not immediately visible in a crowded arrivals area, call the number directly — that's faster and more reliable than scanning a busy kerb on your own.
Your driver is working from the same flight-tracking information the booking used, so they'll already know your flight has landed and will be timing their own arrival around a realistic exit from a Terminal 5 international flight.
If the hall feels overwhelming
A busy Terminal 5 arrivals hall — several flights landed together, families reuniting, other drivers holding signs for other passengers — can feel like a lot to navigate after a long flight. There's no need to identify a driver visually in that crowd; a phone call cuts straight through it, and your driver can usually describe exactly where to look or come to find you if the meeting point genuinely isn't obvious.
If you land at Terminal 5 and something about the day's layout is different from what you expected — a diverted exit, a closed section — the same rule applies: call rather than search, and we'll help sort it from our side if the driver can't reach you either.

Questions people ask before booking
Where exactly will my driver be at Terminal 5?
Follow the arrivals exit signage out of the terminal, then use the driver's name, phone number and licence plate — sent before pickup — to identify the car, or call if it isn't immediately visible.
Terminal 5's arrivals hall is busy — how do I find one car among many?
Call the driver directly rather than trying to spot the car visually in a crowd. It's faster and avoids any risk of confusing your car with someone else's.
Does my driver know which flight I'm on?
Yes — flight tracking follows your actual flight and its landing time, and your driver works from that information.
What if I can't find the exit toward arrivals?
Follow the general arrivals signage rather than trying to remember a specific route — Arlanda's wayfinding is generally clear, and airport staff can point you the right way if you're unsure.
Is there a name-sign meet-and-greet at Terminal 5?
We don't promise a name-sign meeting as standard — what you can rely on is the driver's contact details sent before pickup, so you can call directly if needed.
