There are many taxi companies in Stockholm, such as Taxi Kurir, Sverige Taxi or Taxi Stockholm. As in France, it is also possible to contact companies such as Uber, thanks to the application on smartphone, which are very widespread in the capital. In any case, it remains a rather expensive option in Stockholm, but quite practical, we must admit! We especially take advantage of it when we come back late in the evening, or if we want to visit the surroundings of Stockholm and bring all our little family with us!

Cab Kurir includes a smartphone application on which you can set your destination, track your cab's arrival in real time, and be assured of being able to move freely and punctually around Stockholm. Each car has a capacity of 1 to 4 people, and remains a mode of transport that ensures the safety of its passengers. Whether you're going to the airport, just running around town or need to get around after 1am, a cab is the best choice. This service is available at any time of day.
