Researchers Visiting Uppsala's Biomedical Centre

Updated 3 min read

Uppsala's Biomedical Centre spans a large campus with multiple research buildings, and visiting researchers, collaborators and suppliers flying in for a specific meeting or delivery often have one precise building in mind — the general campus address alone doesn't get them there directly.

This is about the two things that matter for that trip: naming the right building so the driver takes you straight there, and getting a receipt the host institution's finance office can actually process.

A campus built for research, not for visitors

BMC was designed around research groups and departments rather than as a single building with one obvious entrance, and that layout is genuinely useful once you know it — it just means the usual assumption of "the university" or "the hospital area" as a destination doesn't get you to a specific lab or office the way a named building does.

Naming the correct building

BMC's campus is organised into a number of separate buildings and departments, and it's worth putting the specific building name or number in your booking notes rather than relying on "Biomedical Centre" alone. That's read before the driver sets off, and it's the difference between being dropped at the right door and being left to find your own way across a large site with luggage or equipment.

Timing around a meeting

Give us your flight number and we track it from before departure — your pickup time follows your actual landing, useful for a meeting or handover that has a set start you don't want to be late for because of a flight delay outside your control.

A receipt for the host institution

If the trip is being paid for by the institution you're visiting or your own employer, mark the booking as business — it preselects the company receipt, which shows the price and VAT amount separately and can be made out to the institution rather than to you personally. That's usually the format a university or research institute's finance office needs.

  • Name the specific building or department in your booking notes
  • Mark the booking as business to preselect the company receipt
  • Receipt shows the price and VAT line separately, made out to the institution
  • Flight tracked, so your pickup follows the actual landing time

Bringing equipment or samples

If you're travelling with anything beyond ordinary luggage — equipment cases, sample containers — mention it in the notes so we can confirm the right vehicle category has room for it, by message before pickup, rather than finding out it doesn't fit once you're at the terminal.

  • Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival

  • No surge pricing, ever
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours

Questions people ask before booking

How do I make sure the driver finds the right building at BMC?

Name the specific building or department in your booking notes — the campus has multiple buildings, and the general Biomedical Centre address alone isn't always specific enough.

Can I get a receipt made out to the institution I'm visiting?

Yes — mark the booking as business and your receipt is made out to the institution, with the price and VAT amount shown separately.

What if my flight is delayed before a scheduled meeting?

Give us the flight number and we track it — your pickup follows the actual landing time, so a delay doesn't leave you or the driver guessing.

Can I bring equipment or sample cases beyond normal luggage?

Mention it in the booking notes and we confirm by message before pickup that the vehicle category you've chosen has room for it.

Is there an extra charge for a receipt made out to a company or institution?

No — marking the booking as business only changes how the receipt is made out, not the fixed price.
