An Oslo Airport transfer booked with BlaakLane.com has one fixed fare, shown before you confirm. Enter your flight and destination, choose a vehicle, and a chauffeur is timed to your real landing at Gardermoen. International arrivals come with 60 minutes of included waiting. A vetted Norwegian affiliate, named on your confirmation, drives the roughly 50 km into Oslo.
How to book an Oslo Airport chauffeur
Use the reservation engine on this page or the book page. Enter Oslo Airport, Gardermoen (OSL), with your flight number, and the destination: a hotel in Bjørvika, an office at Aker Brygge, the Fornebu business park, a cabin road in Nordmarka or the trade fair halls at Lillestrøm. Choose the date, time and vehicle, and the engine shows a single fixed fare. Gardermoen is a long way out, and the fare stays the same whether the E6 is clear or snowbound.
The booking is handled by our 24/7 reservations and dispatch desk in Toronto and passed to a vetted affiliate in Norway from the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network, contracted to the BlaakLane.com written standard. Your confirmation lists the operator, the chauffeur and the car. For meetings spread across Oslo, Lysaker and Fornebu in one day, book chauffeur hire by the hour, with a three-hour minimum.
What the Gardermoen fare includes
- The chosen vehicle and a professional chauffeur for the route.
- Tracking of your flight from departure, so the car is there for the real landing.
- 60 minutes of waiting after an international arrival; 30 minutes after domestic flights from Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger or Tromsø.
- Further waiting in 15-minute blocks.
- Child seats at no cost, on request.
Planning ranges for each class are listed on the rates page.
Inside the Gardermoen terminal
Oslo Airport has one long terminal building, extended in 2017 with a timber-built pier to the north, and operated by the state company Avinor. Domestic, Schengen and non-Schengen gates all sit in the same building, and every arriving passenger ends up in the single arrivals hall, next to the railway station. For a chauffeur that means one exit to cover, and for you it means no confusion about which terminal to walk to. Norwegian, SAS and Widerøe are the largest airlines here.
Where the chauffeur picks you up
The standard pickup is curbside at the designated area for pre-booked and commercial vehicles by the terminal. Once your bags are off the belt, call or message the chauffeur, who will confirm the exact spot and meet you at the car. On standard bookings the chauffeur does not go into the arrivals hall.
To be met inside the hall with a name board, add meet and greet. Add-ons are only available in selected locations; the booker confirms availability at Oslo Airport for your date.
Passport control and Norwegian customs
Norway is not in the EU but it is part of Schengen, so the EU Entry/Exit System applies at Gardermoen for non-EU and non-EEA visitors arriving from outside Schengen, with fingerprints and a facial image taken on first entry. ETIAS has not launched, so no pre-travel authorisation is needed today. Flights from the UK, the US and the Middle East use the non-Schengen area; flights from Copenhagen, Stockholm or Amsterdam do not pass a passport check.
Because Norway is outside the EU customs union, everyone, including travellers from EU countries, goes through Norwegian customs, and the duty-free allowances for alcohol and tobacco are lower than in the EU. The rules are on the Norwegian Customs site. From landing to the kerb, non-Schengen passengers usually need 20 to 40 minutes.

Norwegian roads are tolled automatically through AutoPASS, and Oslo has a toll ring around the city centre with higher charges at rush hour; the AutoPASS site explains the system. Winter conditions can slow the E6 from November to March, and affiliate cars run on proper winter tyres.
Flytoget and Vy trains
The station under the arrivals hall has two main operators. Flytoget, the airport express, reaches Oslo Central in about 20 minutes and continues west to Lysaker and Drammen. Vy regional trains are a little slower and cheaper, and also serve Hamar and Lillehammer. For one traveller with a small bag bound for a hotel near Oslo Central, the train is fast and reliable. A chauffeur is worth it with heavy luggage or ski bags, a family, a group, a late landing, snow, or a destination in the hills around Oslo that no train reaches.
Which vehicle for an Oslo arrival?

Energy, shipping and the Nobel Peace Prize
Oslo is a centre for energy, shipping finance and maritime services, and crews joining vessels in Norwegian ports often route through Gardermoen; shipping crew change covers those movements, planned by a coordinator and confirmed in writing. Company visitors can be billed through corporate accounts with cost centres and traveller profiles. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded at Oslo City Hall on 10 December, and the Holmenkollen Ski Festival usually runs in March; both bring heavy demand. Visitor information is on Visit Oslo.
Leaving Oslo for Gardermoen
Book the return leg as its own transfer and enter your departure flight. From central Oslo, plan on 45 to 60 minutes for the drive in normal traffic and closer to 75 minutes in the weekday afternoon peak or in snow, then add the check-in time your airline requires. The E6 north passes the toll ring and several AutoPASS points. Passengers leaving Norway for the UK, the US or other non-Schengen destinations pass an exit passport check, where the Entry/Exit System logs non-EU visitors' departure, and should allow extra time for it; those claiming a VAT refund on shopping should also leave time for the refund desk. The chauffeur drops you at the departures level, directly above the arrivals hall, and helps with luggage to the doors. For a very early flight, a hotel at the airport and a short transfer the evening before is often the more restful option.
Delays, waiting and cancellation
If your flight is late, the chauffeur's time moves with it and you are not charged for the delay. After the included waiting, extra time is billed in 15-minute blocks. Cancelling more than 72 hours ahead is free. Inside 72 hours we charge 10%, inside 48 hours 50%, and inside 24 hours or on a no-show 100%.
Bergen, Stockholm and other airports
For onward travel inside Norway most people fly, but the Bergen page covers transfers once you land there. Road trips to Lillehammer, Hamar or Drammen are booked as intercity transfers. The same service runs at Stockholm Arlanda and Copenhagen. For hotels and hourly hire in the capital, see Oslo chauffeur service.
