Arriving at Stockholm University's Frescati Campus

Frescati campus covers a substantial area, and student housing serving the university — the kind you'll have arranged separately through a housing office or a private landlord — is typically located at its own address nearby rather than inside the campus itself. If your booking simply says 'Stockholm University', the driver has no way to know which specific building or street you actually need.

Use the exact address of your accommodation, exactly as it appears on your housing contract or confirmation email, rather than the university's name. If your first stop genuinely is a campus building — an orientation point, a specific department — give that address instead, and book a separate trip to your accommodation once you know it.

The days around the start of term bring a wave of new students landing within a similar window, often on long-haul flights with the maximum amount of luggage they'll bring for the whole year. Booking ahead of that wave — as soon as you have your flight details — means your pickup is assigned specifically to you, rather than something to sort out on the day alongside everyone else doing the same thing.

If you're arriving with flatmates, coursemates or other students landing on the same flight or around the same time, one shared booking can be simpler and more economical per person than everyone booking separately — as long as you're all heading to the same address. A booking runs from one pickup to one drop-off, so if you're going to different addresses, book a car for each.

• One fixed price for the whole car, however many passengers are sharing it, up to the category's capacity
• Choose a vehicle category with enough luggage room for a term's worth of belongings, not just a weekend bag
• One drop-off address per booking — book separately if the group is heading to different addresses

Your driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent to you before pickup, so you can find them in the arrivals hall without guessing — useful on a day when a lot of other new arrivals are also looking for their own transport.
