Choosing an Electric Car for Your Airport Transfer
Updated 3 min read
If choosing an electric vehicle for your airport transfer matters to you, the Electric category is a genuine, straightforward choice at booking — same seats and luggage as Standard, with the car itself being fully electric. What's worth being clear about is exactly what claim that supports, because we'd rather be precise than let the category imply more than it should.
The claim we can actually make
Fully electric, no local exhaust. That's it, and it's deliberately narrow — it describes what's true about the vehicle itself while it's driving, nothing broader. We don't describe any category, electric or otherwise, as having no environmental impact at all, as having no climate footprint at all, environmentally virtuous or carbon-offset-equivalent, because those claims depend on far more than the car in front of you — battery manufacturing, the wider electricity supply, the whole life cycle of the vehicle — and we can't substantiate them.
Why we're specific about this
Swedish marketing law requires environmental claims to be substantiated, and broad sweeping environmental claims are exactly the kind that regulators scrutinise closely once you look past the tailpipe. Rather than make a claim we couldn't defend if asked, we've deliberately narrowed it to the one fact that's straightforwardly true and provable: no local exhaust while it's on the road.
This isn't a reluctant admission — it's a choice we've made deliberately, because a trust brand in a category full of surprise claims should say less rather than say more than it can back up. If a broader claim ever becomes something we can genuinely substantiate, we'll say so plainly; until then, the narrow version is the honest one.
Booking it
Choose Electric at booking the same way you'd choose any other category — same seats and luggage budget as Standard, with the fixed price for your route shown before you pay. See the guide on electric category availability for the honest answer on what happens if none is available for your exact pickup time and route, since we won't promise more certainty than we can actually deliver on that either.
Whichever category you choose, the guarantees around your trip don't change: flight tracking on arrivals, free waiting on every pickup, and free cancellation more than 12 hours ahead. Electric is a preference about the vehicle, backed by the one claim we can stand behind, not a different tier of service.

Questions people ask before booking
What can you actually say about the environmental benefit of choosing Electric?
Only that the vehicle is fully electric with no local exhaust. We don't describe it as having no environmental impact at all, or as having no climate footprint at all or environmentally virtuous, since those broader claims aren't something we can substantiate.
Why won't you call it a green or environmentally virtuous choice?
Because that claim depends on more than the car itself — manufacturing and the wider electricity supply are part of the full picture, and Swedish marketing law requires environmental claims to be provable. We'd rather state the narrow, true fact.
Does choosing Electric cost more than Standard?
The fixed price for your specific route and category is shown before you pay — check it directly for your trip rather than assume a fixed difference either way.
Am I guaranteed an electric car if I choose the category?
We prioritise it for your trip, but availability depends on your exact time and route — see the guide on electric category availability for the full, honest answer.
Are the seats and luggage the same as a Standard car?
Yes — Electric matches Standard's capacity. The difference is only in the vehicle itself, not the space available to you.
