Frösunda to Arlanda: Booking Airport Rides for Visiting Colleagues

Updated 3 min read

Booking travel for someone else is a different job than booking your own trip — you're not the one flying, so you need the traveller's flight details right and their contact information sent to them, not buried in your own inbox. Office managers around Frösunda do this often enough for visiting colleagues and clients that it's worth having the process down.

This guide covers booking on behalf of someone else, getting the receipt made out correctly, and what happens if a meeting overruns and the pickup needs to change.

Booking on someone else's behalf

You can book with your own contact details as the organiser while entering the traveller's flight number and the pickup address — the two don't have to match. What matters is that the traveller's phone number is entered too, because that's where the driver's name, number and licence plate get sent before pickup, not to yours.

If your colleague doesn't know the details themselves — a first-time visitor unfamiliar with how Swedish taxi drivers confirm pickups — it's worth telling them in advance that a message with the driver's details will arrive, so it doesn't look unexpected.

Getting the receipt right

Set the receipt recipient to the company at booking, not to the traveller's personal name, and it prints with the VAT line your finance team expects. This is worth doing at the time of booking rather than asking for a correction afterwards — the receipt reflects whatever recipient you entered.

If the schedule changes

Visiting colleagues' schedules move — a meeting runs long, a flight time shifts. Free cancellation applies up to 12 hours before the booked pickup, refunded in full, so rebooking for a later time when there's enough notice is straightforward rather than a lost cost.

For less notice than that, contact us directly rather than just not showing up — a pickup time that's simply wrong can often still be adjusted close to the day, particularly for a departure where the car hasn't been dispatched yet.

What to prepare before you sit down to book

Have the traveller's flight details and phone number ready before you start — a departure booking needs the flight number so the driver knows which check-in window to plan around, and a phone number so the confirmation and driver details land where the traveller can actually see them. If you're booking several visits over a season, it's worth keeping these details in one place so each new booking takes a minute rather than a search through old emails.

It also helps to agree internally who the point of contact is if something changes on the day — you as the office manager, or the traveller directly. Either works, since both of you can see the booking once it's made, but naming one contact avoids two people trying to adjust the same pickup at once.

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 on every pickup, 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 book a transfer for someone else using my own account?

Yes. Enter the traveller's flight number, pickup address and their own phone number so the driver details go to them directly, while you remain the one who books and pays.

How does the traveller get the driver's details?

The driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup to whichever phone number you entered for the traveller — tell them in advance to expect it.

Can the receipt go to the company instead of the traveller?

Yes — set the company as the receipt recipient when you book, and the receipt with the VAT line is made out accordingly.

What if the colleague's meeting runs over and they'll be late?

With more than 12 hours' notice, cancel and rebook a later pickup free of charge. With less notice, contact us directly — a departure pickup can often still be adjusted.

Does the visiting colleague need to do anything themselves?

No — you can book and pay entirely on their behalf. They just need to know a message with driver details will arrive before pickup.
