Airport Transportation in Bergen

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Bergen Airport, Flesland to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Bergen takes you from Flesland to hotels and apartments around Bryggen, the Fish Market and Nordnes, to homes across the city, and to the cruise quays near the old town.

Bergen Airport Transfers

Bergen airport transfers start in the arrivals hall, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and, on international flights, customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Bergen airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in the city, or to the quay for your cruise. Planning a fjord trip to Voss, Norheimsund or Flåm? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Bergen Airport Shuttle

Our Bergen airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not the Flybussen or the light rail with their stops along the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and skis, and suits families, groups and cruise passengers heading to the quay.

Landing at Bergen Airport

Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO) is at Flesland, south-west of Bergen, and Avinor runs it. Passengers use one terminal: check-in and security are in the extension opened in 2017, gate B handles domestic flights and gates C to F international and domestic ones.

Flights from Norway and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK, you go through passport control. Domestic and international flights have separate baggage claim areas, and international arrivals then pass customs before the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Norway is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the Norwegian krone.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Norway is in the Schengen area but not the EU. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Customs allowances. Norway is outside the EU customs union, so its alcohol and tobacco limits apply even on flights from EU countries. Use the red channel if you carry more than the allowance.

Pedestrian streets. Parts of the center, including the lanes behind Bryggen and around Torgallmenningen, are pedestrian or closed to general traffic, so give your full address; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Krone and cards. Norway uses the Norwegian krone, and cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere, so you rarely need cash.

Bergen Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Bergen Airport?

In the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and, on international flights, customs.

How far is Bergen Airport from the city center?

Bergen Airport is at Flesland, about 16 km (10 miles) south-west of the city center, a drive of about 20 minutes in normal traffic and longer at rush hour.

Can you take me to my hotel near Bryggen or the Fish Market?

Yes. We drive to hotels and apartments around Bryggen, the Fish Market, Nordnes and the rest of the city center. Where a street is pedestrian, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can you take me to my cruise ship in Bergen?

Yes. We drive you to the cruise quay near the old town. Give us your ship's name and boarding time when you book, so the pickup leaves a comfortable margin.

Can you take me to Voss, Norheimsund or Flåm for the fjords?

These fjord towns are a longer drive from Bergen. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Can you take me to Bergen train station?

Yes. We drive you to Bergen station in the city center for trains to Voss, Myrdal and Oslo. Give us your train time when you book.

One passenger terminal, with separate domestic and international baggage claim areas. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall whichever flight you are on.

Do you drive to apartments and vacation rentals in Bergen?

Yes. Give the full street address, the apartment number and any entrance details. Some streets in the center and on the hillsides are narrow or pedestrian, so your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can I book a pickup for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Give your flight number and arrival or departure time when you book, and the pickup is set for that time, early or late.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Bergen Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Bergen Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or cruise ship, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.

What do I need to enter Norway at Bergen Airport?

Norway is in the Schengen area, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, and arrivals from outside it go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES); the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.
