Seasonal Workers Arriving for Summer Jobs
3 min read
Seasonal jobs in Sweden — farm work, hospitality, tourism — often mean flying into Arlanda with a group of colleagues who are all headed to the same employer-arranged housing, sometimes met by nobody in particular and expected to make their own way there. Splitting into several separate rides for people all going to the same address is usually the expensive way to do it.
This guide covers travelling to shared housing as a group, what the driver needs to know, and how receipts work if your employer is covering the transfer.
Travelling together to the same address
If several of you are landing on the same flight, or close together, and heading to the same accommodation, one larger vehicle for the group is usually the more practical option — one fixed price for the car rather than several separate bookings for people going to exactly the same place.
Give the full housing address when you book, including anything the driver needs to find the right building — a farm name, a gate code, a specific block if the address covers a larger site. Employer-arranged housing isn't always well mapped, so the more precise the address, the less chance of a wrong turn at the end of a long travel day.
- Book one vehicle sized for the group rather than several separate rides to the same address
- Give the full housing address, including any gate, block or building detail the driver will need
- Choose the vehicle category by passenger count and luggage together, not passengers alone
Luggage for a season, not a weekend
Seasonal work usually means packing for months, not a short trip — work boots, warm and cold-weather layers, sometimes tools or bedding an employer told you to bring. That adds up to more luggage per person than a typical arrival, so size the vehicle category to the bags as much as to the headcount.
If your employer is paying
Some employers cover the transfer directly, either by booking it themselves or by reimbursing you against a receipt. Either way works: if the employer books, they receive the confirmation and receipt; if you book and claim it back, your receipt shows the price with the VAT line separated, made out to you or to the company as needed.
The price is for the whole car, not per passenger, which tends to make the arithmetic simpler for a group claiming it back from one employer — one receipt covers everyone who travelled in that car.
What every Förare booking includes
The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.

Questions people ask before booking
Can several of us book one car to the same housing?
Yes — choose a vehicle category that fits your group's passenger count and luggage together, and give the full housing address when you book.
What if the housing address isn't well known or hard to find?
Give as much detail as you have — a gate code, a farm name, a specific building on a larger site — in the booking notes, and your driver has your phone number to call if needed.
Does the price go up with more passengers in one car?
No — the fixed price is for the whole vehicle, not per person, so a group travelling together in one car pays that one price between them.
Can my employer pay for the transfer directly?
Yes — the employer can book and pay themselves, or you can book and claim it back with a receipt showing the price and VAT line.
What if we're bringing a lot of luggage for the whole season?
Choose the vehicle category with the luggage in mind, not just the number of people — a bigger category has more luggage room as well as more seats.
