Arlanda to Arlandastad: Getting to the Hotels Next to the Airport

Updated 3 min read

'Right next to the airport' is how Arlandastad's hotels and resort area often get described, and it catches a lot of first-time visitors by surprise: it's genuinely close on a map, but it's a separate area reached by road, not a walk out of the terminal. If you've booked a stay there expecting to simply stroll over, it's worth resetting that expectation before you land.

This guide covers how Arlandastad relates to the terminals, and getting there on a car that follows your actual landing time rather than the original schedule.

How Arlandastad relates to the terminals

Arlandastad sits close to Arlanda as a distinct business, hotel and leisure area, connected by road rather than being part of the airport's own terminal complex. It's a short road transfer away, not a walk, and treating it as a normal drop-off address rather than an airport-internal transfer is the accurate way to plan for it.

Hotel shuttles, and why this page won't promise times

Some hotels in the Arlandastad area may run their own shuttle between the terminal and the property, but timings and whether a shuttle runs at all vary by hotel and by season — this page can't tell you what your specific hotel offers or when it stops running for the day. Check directly with your hotel before you fly, especially if you're landing outside normal daytime hours.

A pre-booked car sidesteps that uncertainty entirely, since it isn't tied to a hotel's own schedule and runs to the time your flight actually lands, whatever hour that turns out to be.

Booking a car that follows your landing

We track your flight while you're in the air, and your pickup follows the actual landing time rather than the schedule you booked against — which matters particularly for a late arrival, when a hotel shuttle (if there is one) may already have stopped running for the day.

  • Flight tracked, so your pickup adjusts to a delayed landing automatically
  • One fixed price for the whole car, agreed before you travel, whatever time you land
  • Driver's name, phone number and licence plate sent before pickup, so you know who to look for once you're through arrivals

Getting the address right

Give your specific hotel or venue name and address within Arlandastad when you book, rather than just 'Arlandastad' — it's an area with several properties, and a specific address helps the driver find the right entrance without delay.

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

Can I walk from the Arlanda terminal to Arlandastad?

No — Arlandastad is a separate area reached by road, not a walking distance from the terminal, even though it's close by on a map.

Does my hotel in Arlandastad run a shuttle from the airport?

It depends on the hotel and this page can't confirm specific shuttle times — check directly with your hotel, especially for a late landing.

What happens if my flight lands late at night?

We track your flight and your pickup follows the actual landing time, which is particularly useful if a hotel's own shuttle service has already stopped running for the day.

Do I need the exact hotel address, or is 'Arlandastad' enough?

Give the specific hotel or venue name and address — Arlandastad has several properties, and a precise address helps the driver find the right one directly.

Is the price different for such a short trip from the terminal?

The price reflects the actual route and vehicle category, shown before you book, whatever the distance involved.
