Taxi Stockholm is one of Stockholm's largest taxi companies and can therefore offer the city's best availability. You can count on a cab arriving quickly and all their cars are less than five years old. Taxi Stockholm is a cheap option, though not the absolute cheapest company in Stockholm. The service and quality are high and they strive to be Stockholm's most environmentally friendly taxi company. You can book via their website, but they also have a popular app.

Sverigetaxi, formerly Taxi 020, is Stockholm's third largest taxi company with almost 1000 cars. Their cars are instantly recognisable because they're always yellow. For the past few years they've been working hard to improve their emissions and at the time of writing 80 percent of their cars are green vehicles. The service level and accessibility are good. You can book via the internet or app.

Topcab is one of the "smaller" upstarts among the larger taxi companies. The organisation is smaller than the others we've mentioned, which is also one of their strengths. They focus on a more personal relationship to their customers and promise experienced, professional drivers with great local knowledge.

Taxi Kurir is Stockholm's second largest taxi company with just over 1000 cars. If you're looking for a cheap taxi in Stockholm for weekday daytime journeys, Kurir is the absolute best option according to our comparison. Kurir is known for good service and availability, with both internet and app booking. They offer wheelchair accessible vehicles.

The Uber app allows you to order a taxi quickly from your present position. You can track Uber cars in the area on a map, and see how long it will take for the nearest driver to get to your pick-up point. Before you confirm your booking you'll get an estimate of the price, which will be higher than the other companies, but only slightly. You register your credit card, so you don't even need to have your wallet with you. Simple, convenient and innovative.

Bolt is one of Europe's leading transport apps, with Uber as their main competition. They launched in Stockholm in spring 2019.
