Arlanda to Älvsjö: Exhibitors Arriving for Stockholmsmässan
Updated 3 min read
Exhibitors arriving for a fair at Stockholmsmässan aren't travelling like ordinary visitors: sample cases, roll-up banners, boxes of printed material and sometimes a small stand's worth of components all need to arrive at the venue in one trip, ideally at the right door rather than the main visitor entrance.
This guide covers what to book for that first arrival — enough space for what you're carrying, the right point to be dropped, and a receipt that fits an exhibition budget.

How much luggage capacity you actually need
A single exhibitor with a couple of sample cases and a rolled banner usually fits comfortably in a standard car. Where it changes is a small team with several boxes of materials, a folded stand, or anything oversized — that's when it's worth stepping up to the SUV/XL category, or Minibus if a whole team is travelling together with a full set of gear.
Mention what you're bringing in the booking notes at the time you book. That way the car sent has room confirmed before pickup, rather than a driver discovering at the kerb that a boxed banner stand doesn't fit the boot.
Exhibitor entrance versus visitor entrance
Stockholmsmässan has separate areas for exhibitor loading and general visitor arrivals, and they're not always at the same point. If you're arriving to set up a stand rather than to visit as a guest, say so in your booking notes and give the specific hall or entrance if you know it — it avoids being dropped at the main entrance with boxes to carry further than necessary.
Receipts for the exhibition budget
If this trip is being paid for on a company or exhibition budget, book with the company receipt option so the receipt reflects that from the outset, with the VAT amount shown separately — useful for expensing against a fair budget without having to request a reissue afterward.
Flight tracking for the trip in
Your flight is tracked once you book, and your pickup time follows the actual landing time, so an early-morning or delayed arrival before a fair's opening hours doesn't put your booking at risk — the driver is timed to when you actually land.
What every Förare booking includes
The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.
- Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
- 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
- No terminal fee
- No surge pricing, ever
- Free cancellation up to 12 hours
Questions people ask before booking
What car do I need for sample cases and a banner stand?
A standard car usually fits one or two people with normal luggage plus a rolled banner. For more boxes, a folded stand, or a small team travelling together, the SUV/XL or Minibus category gives more room — mention what you're bringing in the notes so it's confirmed before pickup.
Can the driver drop me at the exhibitor entrance rather than the visitor entrance?
Yes, if you say so in your booking notes and give the hall or entrance if you know it. Stockholmsmässan's exhibitor loading areas aren't always at the same point as the general visitor entrance.
Can I get a receipt for the exhibition budget?
Yes — choose the company receipt option when you book, and the receipt is issued with the VAT amount shown separately, ready to expense against the fair budget.
What if my flight lands before the venue opens for setup?
Your flight is tracked and your pickup time follows the actual landing, so an early arrival is handled the same way as any other — the car meets you when you actually land.
Can several exhibitors from the same company travel together?
Yes — for a team travelling together with a full set of materials, the Minibus category has room for more people and a much larger combined luggage allowance than a standard car.
