How do I get from Stavanger Airport Sola to the city centre?
Flybussen, tickets, local buses and what a taxi costs.
Short answer
Flybussen runs from Stavanger Airport Sola to Byterminalen, the bus and train station in central Stavanger, every 20 minutes and takes about 20–30 minutes. Boreal Travel runs the bus, and tickets are cheapest online. A taxi has no fixed price: Stavanger Taxi charges a start fee plus distance and time, and adds NOK 24 at the airport.
Why
- Avinor gives the Flybussen travel time as about 20–30 minutes and names Boreal Travel as the company to contact.
- Region Stavanger's listing on Visit Norway says Flybussen leaves every 20 minutes and takes the fastest road to Byterminalen, with connections to local buses and trains.
- Stavanger Taxi's weekday day rate from 06:00 to 18:00 is a NOK 65 start fee, NOK 16.70 per km and NOK 10 per minute, with prices updated on 1 October 2026.
Details
You can pay for Flybussen on board with Visa or Mastercard or buy the ticket in advance online. Evening, night and holiday taxi rates are higher, and the estimate in Stavanger Taxi's booking tool is a maximum price, not a fixed fare. Kolumbus bus 42 also stops at the airport, but its route runs towards Sola, Forus and Sandnes, not central Stavanger.
Tip
Buy the Flybussen ticket online before you land, since that is where the cheapest tickets are sold.
What may differ
Taxi prices are higher in the evening, at night, at weekends and on public holidays, and for groups of five or more.
