Oslo Airport to Drammen Transfer

Oslo Airport to Drammen transfer: the easiest way to get there

Getting from Oslo Airport to Drammen should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Oslo Airport to Drammen transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Oslo Airport to Drammen route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Drammen is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Oslo Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

How far is Drammen from Oslo Airport?

The distance from Oslo Airport to Drammen is about 95 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 1 hour 35 minutes. Traffic is the only variable - our drivers know the route and the times to avoid, and they choose the fastest way on the day. Because the Oslo Airport to Drammen transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.

The fastest road route runs via the E16 and E18, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.

From Oslo Airport the E6 runs south around Oslo, then the E18 follows the fjord west past Sandvika and Asker to Drammen.

Travellers often compare the drive with a bus or train connection; with luggage and a family, door-to-door by private car is almost always faster in total than any combination of public transport.

Arriving at Oslo Airport (OSL)

Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) is about 50 km north of the city, one terminal with the Flytoget express train beneath it; the ski resorts of Hafjell, Trysil, Hemsedal, Geilo and Norefjell are two to four hours away by road.

Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Oslo Airport to Drammen transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Oslo Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.

Searches for "OSL to Drammen" or "OSL airport transfer" land here for a reason: OSL is the airport code for Oslo Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Drammen.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Oslo Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup.

Taxi or private transfer from Oslo Airport to Drammen?

An airport taxi from Oslo Airport to Drammen means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Oslo Airport to Drammen per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Drammen involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Drammen, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Drammen: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Oslo Airport runs mainly into Oslo itself: the Flytoget airport express reaches Oslo Central in about 20 minutes and is excellent for a city hotel; the ski resorts have bus links on fixed timetables from the airport, and a family with skis almost always books a Sprinter or minivan direct to the chalet. Reaching Drammen from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Drammen is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Oslo Airport to Drammen transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Drammen

Drammen is a river city at the head of the Drammensfjord, about 40 km south-west of Oslo and about 85 km from Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Drammen spreads along both banks of the Drammenselva river where it meets the fjord, and has transformed its old industrial waterfront into landscaped riverside parks and promenades, with a floating footbridge and beaches. The Bragernes square on the north bank is the lively centre, near the elegant Drammen Theatre, while the Spiralen tunnel corkscrews up inside the hillside above the city to a viewpoint over the valley and fjord. It is a practical base for Oslo, with frequent trains, and a gateway towards the south coast and the mountains. The drive follows the E18 west along the Oslofjord.

Things to do in Drammen

Once you have checked in, Drammen is worth exploring: Drammenselva riverside promenades, Spiralen spiral tunnel and viewpoint, Bragernes square, Drammen Theatre and Drammensfjord. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Oslo itself is within reach for a day: the Royal Palace and Karl Johans gate, Lillehammer's Olympic sites and the Opera House roof - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Drammen

Where you stay in Drammen makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Bragernes on the north bank, Strømsø near the station, Riverside hotels and Asker and Sandvika towards Oslo - and any other address is fine too.

Drammen is split by the river; tell the driver whether your hotel is in Bragernes (north) or Strømsø (south, by the station) to avoid crossing back over the bridges.

Meeting your driver at Oslo Airport

Where you meet your driver depends on Oslo Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Oslo Airport.

Our vehicles for the Drammen transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Drammen transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Oslo Airport to Drammen on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Drammen and the ride back to Oslo Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Drammen transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Drammen. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Oslo Airport

Say whether the destination is a city hotel or a ski resort - Trysil, Hemsedal and Geilo are 200-250 km from the airport in different directions - and the desk sends a winter-ready vehicle for the mountain roads.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Oslo Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.

Drammen to Oslo Airport: the return transfer

The Drammen to Oslo Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Drammen transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Drammen transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
