Leaving Student Housing for Arlanda at the End of Term

It's tempting to book a pickup time based on your flight and work backwards, but if the key return, inspection or final clean can run long, that pickup time becomes a deadline you're racing rather than a comfortable buffer. Where possible, find out your key-return office's hours and any inspection requirement first, and set your pickup for after that's realistically done — not the earliest moment it could theoretically be done.

Student housing key returns are often tied to an office with specific opening hours that don't flex around your flight time. If your flight is early and the key-return office doesn't open until later, you may need to plan the key handover on a different day, or find out whether keys can be dropped in a box or with a caretaker outside office hours — that's a housing-office question, not something we can advise on, but it's worth resolving before you set your pickup rather than after.

If you and a flatmate are flying out around the same time, one shared booking is often more practical than two separate ones — the price is per car, not per person, so splitting one booking between you is straightforward as long as the passenger count and luggage fit the category you choose. Check the capacity before you book if you're both bringing a full term's worth of belongings rather than just holiday luggage.

Moving out at the end of term often means more than a normal holiday's luggage — boxes, bedding, things you're not shipping home separately. Check the vehicle category's luggage budget against what you're actually carrying, and if you're not sure it fits, mention the count in the booking notes so we can confirm before pickup rather than at the kerb with everything already outside.
