Booking

How do I book a taxi in Ivalo?

Taxis in Ivalo are pre-booked. Send a booking request, call +358 400 990 664 or send a message on WhatsApp. Tell us the pickup address, destination, date, time and number of passengers. Ivalo Airport and long-distance transfers can also be booked online.

The easiest way is to book online: choose "Ivalo Airport Transfer", select your date and pay securely. You can also send a booking request or contact us by phone or WhatsApp on +358 400 990 664. Please include your flight number and accommodation name.

Can I book a private taxi from Ivalo Airport?

Yes. Every transfer we drive is private: the vehicle is reserved for your group and is not shared with other passengers. Pre-book it online or with a booking request, and your driver meets you at the airport.

What is the difference between Book Online and Booking Request?

Book online is for products in our FareHarbor shop — you choose a date, pay and get an instant confirmation. A booking request is for everything else: local rides in Ivalo, routes such as Ivalo–Inari, custom routes, large groups, corporate transportation or special requirements. We reply and confirm the details and price.

How early should I book my airport transfer?

As early as you know your flight times, especially for December to March. Vehicle availability can be limited at Christmas, New Year and during the main winter season. Short transfers can be booked up to 24 hours before pick-up time; for anything sooner, call or WhatsApp us and we will help if a vehicle is available.
