Quick overview: If you’re flying into Bergen and want to start your trip stress-free, this private transfer service from Bergen Airport (BGO) to the city center is a smart choice. For around $196.32 per person, you’ll get a 25-minute ride in a luxurious Mercedes Benz Sprinter or similar, with room for your luggage and a chauffeur who speaks English. This service is perfect whether you’re traveling solo or in a small group, offering a personalized, hassle-free start to your Bergen adventure.
What we love most about this experience is the convenience — no waiting for taxis or shared shuttles — and the quality of the vehicle. The Mercedes Sprinter ensures a comfortable ride, with air conditioning as standard, which is especially appreciated if your flight lands during the warmer months. Plus, all taxes and tolls are included, so you won’t face surprise charges at the end.
A possible consideration: the night fee applies from 6 pm to 6 am, so if your flight arrives late, that extra charge might bump up the price slightly. Also, this is a private transfer, so it’s best suited for groups or travelers who value comfort and direct service over sharing transportation with others.
In all, this transfer service is ideal for first-time visitors to Bergen who want a seamless arrival, for large groups traveling together, or for anyone who simply prefers to start their Norwegian trip with luxury and peace of mind.

Seamless Arrival and Meet & Greet Experience
When you land in Bergen, the last thing you want is to spend extra time figuring out how to get to your hotel. That’s where this private transfer shines. The chauffeur will be waiting for you in the arrival lounge with a clear sign bearing your name — a small but very reassuring detail after a long flight. We loved the personal touch of this meet and greet, making the start of our Bergen visit smooth and straightforward.
The driver is not only professional but also friendly and helpful, ready to answer questions about the city or give quick tips. It’s a small detail, but the English-speaking chauffeur makes a difference—especially if you’re unfamiliar with Bergen or Norwegian customs.
Comfort and Vehicle Quality
The ride itself is in a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, a vehicle known for its quiet, smooth drive and generous space. Whether you’re traveling alone or with friends, this minibus has room for up to 15 passengers, though most groups will find it just the right size for comfort.
The air conditioning is a thoughtful touch, keeping the temperature just right regardless of the season. The luggage space is sufficient for most travelers, with a maximum of one suitcase and one carry-on per person. If you’re bringing oversized gear, it’s worth checking ahead — some restrictions may apply.
Price and Value
At $196.32 per person, this service might seem like a splurge at first glance. However, it’s important to consider the value of peace of mind — no waiting, no negotiating taxi fares, no shared rides, and a guaranteed, comfortable journey. Plus, the all taxes and tolls are included, so there are no hidden fees to worry about.
Several reviews highlight the excellent value. Daniel, who arrived seven hours late due to weather, appreciated that the driver still waited, describing the experience as “very nice” and “dedicated.” Another reviewer with a group of eleven called the transfer “very easy,” recommending it for large groups.
Flexibility and Convenience
The service operates every day, from noon to midnight, giving travelers the flexibility to book according to their flight schedule. The 24/7 emergency contact number provides added reassurance in case of delays or issues.
A key feature is the late-night fee—from 6 pm to 6 am—so if you arrive late, expect the price to include this surcharge. For most daytime arrivals, this won’t be an issue.
