Leaving a Holiday Rental for Arlanda
3 min read
A holiday rental rarely comes with a clear sense of its own address the way a hotel does — you might know the neighbourhood and the building you're staying in without knowing the official street address, and Stockholm apartment buildings often have several entrances that all look similar from outside.
This is about getting that address right before your pickup, so the driver isn't circling a block trying to work out which door is yours.

Check the listing for the real address
Most rental platforms only show the exact address once your booking is confirmed, often in the host's messages or a separate check-in guide rather than the main listing page. Find that exact address before you book your ride — the neighbourhood name alone isn't precise enough for a pickup, and guessing at a nearby street can put the driver at the wrong building entirely.
Working out which entrance faces the street
Many Stockholm apartment buildings have a main street entrance and one or more courtyard or side entrances that share the same building number but aren't visible from where a car would naturally stop. If your host's instructions mention a specific door, code or stairwell letter, add that detail to your booking notes exactly as the host described it, rather than assuming the driver can work it out from the address alone.
What to put in the booking notes
A short, specific note works better than a long one: the building's colour or a nearby landmark, which door to use, and a mobile number if the host or a co-host would be easier to reach than you in case the driver can't find the entrance. If there's a courtyard entry code, it's worth including even though it might change — it's still more useful to the driver than no information at all.
On the day
The driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup, so you can watch for the car arriving and step outside rather than waiting to be found. If the driver calls looking for the entrance, having the building's exact address and door details fresh in your notes — rather than trying to recall a host's message from days earlier — makes the call quick rather than confusing.

Questions people ask before booking
How do I find the exact address of my holiday rental for the booking?
Check your host's messages or the platform's check-in guide, usually released once your stay is confirmed — the neighbourhood name shown on the listing page isn't precise enough on its own.
What if my building has several entrances?
Add the specific door, stairwell letter or entry code to your booking notes exactly as your host described it, rather than leaving the driver to guess which entrance is yours.
Should I give the host's number instead of my own?
If your host or a co-host is more likely to be reachable and know the building, it's worth including their number in the notes alongside your own.
How will I know when the car has arrived?
The driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup, so you can watch for the car and go out to meet it rather than waiting to be found at the door.
What if the driver can't find the entrance?
They'll call the number on the booking — having your exact address and door details ready makes that call quick to resolve.
