Airport Transportation in Oslo

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Oslo Airport, Gardermoen 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.

Airport transportation in Oslo takes you from Gardermoen, north of the city, to hotels, apartments and offices in central Oslo, to Lillestrøm and Drammen, and north to Lillehammer.

Oslo Airport Transfers

Our Oslo airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall, where your driver waits after you collect your bags and pass customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time.

You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Oslo airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a hotel in central Oslo, an apartment in one of the city's neighborhoods or a hotel in Drammen or Lillehammer.

Oslo Airport Shuttle

Our Oslo airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers and no change of train in the city. There is room for suitcases and ski bags, so it suits families, groups and travelers heading north to Lillehammer in winter.

Landing at Oslo Airport

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen (OSL) is Norway's main international airport. It sits at Gardermoen in Akershus county, north of Oslo, and is run by Oslo Lufthavn AS, part of state-owned Avinor. All flights use one terminal building, with domestic flights at the A and C gates, Schengen flights at the D and E gates and non-Schengen flights at the F gates.

If you arrive from outside the Schengen Area, you pass passport control before baggage claim; flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Because Norway is not in the EU, Norwegian customs allowances apply. After customs, you exit into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers wait.

Oslo is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and moves to UTC+2 from late March to late October.

Entry requirements and local notes

Entry rules. 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 travel.

Book taxis, don't flag them. The airport advises booking a taxi at the machines outside the terminal or in an app, because unbooked taxis can charge very different fares. Your pre-booked driver meets you inside the arrivals hall instead.

Winter weather. Winters are cold and often snowy from November to March. Keep warm layers in your hand luggage, and allow extra time on winter return trips to the airport.
