Taxi
You can book a taxi at the "Flygtaxi" (airport taxi) counters in terminals 2, 4 and 5. When taking a taxi, passengers should speak to a taxi coordinator, found outside the terminal building. Taxis registered as environmentally "clean" cars have a separate queue. At the airline terminals, these "ecotaxis" are always at the front of the queue of taxis. Airport taxis have fixed rates to most addresses in Sweden and can be shared with other travellers to reduce cost.
