Trollbäcken to Arlanda: Travelling with Your Dog
Updated 3 min read
Travelling to the airport with a dog adds a step to booking that's easy to overlook until the morning of the flight: telling us your pet is coming. It's a simple request, but it needs to happen at booking, not as a surprise at the kerb in Trollbäcken.
This guide covers the difference between assistance dogs and other animals, and how to request an animal when you book.
On this page
Assistance dogs
An assistance dog travels with you free of charge, always — there's no request needed for an assistance dog specifically, since it's treated as part of accompanying you rather than as an additional passenger or item to arrange.
Other pets: request at booking
For any other animal — a pet dog, a cat in a carrier, anything else you're bringing along — request it when you book rather than mentioning it for the first time when the driver arrives. That way it's confirmed in advance that the car assigned can take your pet comfortably, rather than finding out at the door.
Mention the type and size of the animal in your booking notes; a small carrier and a large dog are different practical considerations for the driver and the vehicle.
Choosing the right vehicle category
A larger dog, or a pet alongside a family's usual luggage, may fit more comfortably in a bigger vehicle category than the smallest option — the combined space for passengers, luggage and the animal is what matters, not just seat count. If you're unsure which category fits your specific situation, mention the details in your notes and we can help confirm what works.
- Assistance dogs travel free of charge, no request needed
- Other animals: request at booking, with type and size noted
- Choose a category with room for the animal alongside your luggage, not just your passengers
Booking from Trollbäcken
The rest of the booking works the same as any other departure trip from Trollbäcken: a fixed price for the whole car agreed before you travel, and your driver's name, phone number and licence plate sent before pickup, so you know exactly who to expect — useful with a dog and luggage both in hand at the door.
Book as soon as you know your flight time, and mention the animal in your notes at the same point, rather than as an afterthought — it gives the most time to confirm the right vehicle for your trip.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to request an assistance dog when I book?
No — assistance dogs travel free of charge and always, with no separate request needed.
How do I bring a regular pet dog or cat?
Request it in your booking notes, including the type and size of the animal, so the car assigned to you can take it comfortably.
Is there an extra charge for bringing a pet?
The price is set by the vehicle category and route rather than by whether you're bringing an animal, though mentioning it helps us confirm the right category for you.
What if I forget to mention my pet when I book?
Contact us as soon as possible before your pickup so it can be confirmed in advance, rather than raising it for the first time when the driver arrives.
Can a larger dog travel in a Standard car with a family's usual luggage?
It depends on the combined amount of luggage and the dog's size — mention the details when you book and we can help confirm whether a Standard car or a larger category suits your trip better.
