Sweden is not a cheap country for transport. The buses are clearly priced; taxis are not regulated at all, so the price depends on which company you pick. Here is the honest breakdown.
Price comparison by option

Prices by destination
There is no published taxi fare for any of these runs — Swedish taxi pricing is deregulated, so the figure comes from whichever company you get into. Only the transfer column is a price fixed in advance.

Hidden costs — few, but taxi pricing is the catch
There are no tolls between Landvetter and Gothenburg. Tipping is not expected (though rounding up is appreciated). Credit cards are accepted everywhere.
The one thing to watch is the taxi fare itself. Sweden does not regulate taxi prices — every company sets its own. The safeguard is the jämförpris (comparison price): the fare for a standard 10 km, 15-minute trip, displayed in black on yellow both outside and inside the car, for every time of day and day of the week. If a company’s jämförpris exceeds SEK 700 it must give you a binding price quote before the trip starts. Established companies like Taxi Göteborg display it clearly; the ones to be wary of are the ones hoping you will not look.
Is the Flygbussarna worth it?
Yes. Booked online it is a small fraction of 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. For a transfer: see the current price in our search for a suitable vehicle and divide the confirmed booking total by your party size. Compare that with the operator’s current bus fare.
When a private transfer from GOT is the right choice
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Gothenburg City Center is from €210, about €53 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
- Going to a specific address rather than the main station: the car goes to the door, so the public-transport fare is not the whole cost of the trip.
- Arriving tired or late: the driver waits at arrivals with your name, included for 60 minutes after landing.
