Same Street Name, Different Suburb: Picking the Right Address

Many Swedish street names describe something generic — 'main street', 'church road', 'school road' — and when towns and suburbs were built and named independently over the decades, the same obvious names got reused across the country. In a region with dozens of separate municipalities packed close together, like Stockholm's, that means a search for a common street name can return several genuinely different results, sometimes tens of kilometres apart.

The postcode and municipality are what actually distinguish one Storgatan from another — the street name alone isn't enough to be confident you've selected the right one. If you have an address from a booking confirmation, a lease, or an invitation, check that it includes a postcode, and use that to confirm the match when you enter it.

If an address-lookup tool offers several suggestions for the same street name, don't assume the first one is correct just because it's listed first — check the postcode and municipality against your source document before picking.

• Match the postcode, not just the street name, against your source document
• Confirm the municipality if you're unsure — the same street name can exist in several municipalities within the region
• When in doubt, use a house number and postcode together rather than a street name alone

The fixed price you're shown is calculated for the specific address you enter, so an incorrect address doesn't just risk confusion — it risks a driver heading to the wrong Storgatan entirely. Double-checking the postcode before you confirm your booking is the simplest way to avoid that, and it takes a lot less time than sorting it out once a driver is already on the way.

If you spot the address is wrong after you've already booked, contact us as soon as possible so it can be corrected before your pickup time — the earlier you catch it, the more straightforward it is to fix.
