Sweden is not a cheap country for transport, but the options from Landvetter are clearly priced with no hidden costs. Here is the full breakdown.
Price comparison by option
| Option | Price (SEK) | Price (EUR) | Journey time | |--------|------------:|------------:|-------------:| | Flygbussarna (online) | SEK 119 | EUR 10 | 25–30 min | | Flygbussarna (on bus) | SEK 139 | EUR 12 | 25–30 min | | Regular taxi | SEK 500–700 | EUR 44–61 | 25–35 min | | Pre-booked transfer | SEK 550–800 | EUR 48–70 | 25–35 min | | Rental car | From SEK 400/day | From EUR 35/day | Self-drive |
Taxi prices by destination
| Destination | Taxi (SEK) | Transfer (SEK) | Transfer (EUR) | |-------------|------------|----------------|----------------| | Central Station | SEK 500–600 | SEK 550–700 | EUR 48–61 | | Haga / Linneplatsen | SEK 520–650 | SEK 600–750 | EUR 52–65 | | Liseberg / Korsvagen | SEK 450–550 | SEK 500–650 | EUR 44–57 | | Molndal | SEK 400–500 | SEK 450–600 | EUR 39–52 | | Kungsbacka (south) | SEK 600–800 | SEK 650–850 | EUR 57–74 | | Boras (east) | SEK 450–550 | SEK 500–650 | EUR 44–57 |
Hidden costs — there are almost none
Sweden is refreshingly transparent with transport pricing. Taxis are metered with fixed rates. There are no tolls between Landvetter and Gothenburg. Tipping is not expected (though rounding up is appreciated). Credit cards are accepted everywhere.
The only variable is taxi company pricing. Always check the yellow "jmforpris" (comparison price) sticker on the rear passenger window. This shows the price per 10 km of a standardized journey. Reputable companies like Taxi Goteborg display this clearly.
Is the Flygbussarna worth it?
Absolutely. At SEK 119 (EUR 10) booked online, it is roughly one-fifth the cost of a taxi for essentially the same journey time. The buses are modern, comfortable, and run frequently. The only reason to choose something else is if you need door-to-door service, have heavy luggage, or are traveling with young children.
Best strategy for a group
For three or four travelers, a taxi or transfer starts to make economic sense. A transfer at SEK 700 split four ways is SEK 175 (EUR 15) per person — only slightly more than the bus, with the convenience of direct hotel delivery.
