Event Organisers Paying for Speakers' Airport Rides

Updated 3 min read

A speaker you've invited to Stockholm often has never been to the city, doesn't know the airport, and shouldn't have to figure out ground transport on top of everything else you're asking of them. As the organiser, you're usually the one booking and paying for that ride — and the event budget needs a clean receipt for it, separate from anything the speaker pays for personally.

This guide covers booking a speaker's transfer on their behalf, so the logistics are handled and the paperwork lands correctly.

Booking with the speaker's own contact details

Enter the speaker's phone number when you book, not your own — that's what sends their driver details directly to them before pickup, so they know exactly who's meeting them and how to reach the driver, without needing to relay anything through you mid-journey. You still control the booking and the payment; only the driver details go to the speaker.

One receipt per speaker, for the event's books

Choose the company receipt option and enter your organisation's details — the receipt generated afterward is made out to the event, with the price and VAT line shown clearly. Booking each speaker's transfer as its own booking naturally produces one clean receipt per speaker, which tends to be far easier to reconcile against a speaker-by-speaker event budget than a single bundled figure.

Flight tracking for a speaker unfamiliar with the airport

Give us the speaker's flight number and their pickup follows their actual landing automatically — useful in particular for a first-time visitor who might take longer through an unfamiliar passport control or baggage claim than a frequent traveller would. The free waiting window absorbs that without anyone needing to manage it in real time.

If the speaker's return trip is also on you

If you're also arranging the speaker's departure transfer after the event, book it the same way — their own contact details, your organisation's receipt — and set it against their outbound flight time so it's ready without needing a reminder once the event itself is over and your attention has moved on.

This is worth doing at the same time as the arrival booking rather than leaving it for later in the event's run-up, when there's usually less time to spare for logistics that aren't the programme itself.

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

How does the speaker get their driver's details if I'm the one who booked and paid?

Enter the speaker's own phone number on the booking — their driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent directly to them before pickup, while you remain the one who booked and paid.

Can I get a separate receipt for each speaker I'm booking transport for?

Yes — book each speaker's transfer as its own booking with the company receipt option, and each one generates its own receipt made out to your organisation.

Does flight tracking help with a speaker unfamiliar with Arlanda?

Yes — their pickup follows their actual landing time, and the free waiting window absorbs a longer-than-usual time through an unfamiliar airport without anyone needing to manage it manually.

Should I book the speaker's return transfer as well?

You can, using the same approach — their own contact details for driver information, your organisation's receipt — set against their outbound flight so it's ready without a reminder.

Do I need the speaker's flight number before I can book?

Yes — the flight number is what lets us track the flight and set the pickup to follow the actual landing.
