Oslo airport transfer
Does anyone have any experience with a reasonable car service in Oslo airport for a transfer to the city center? I'll be arriving after midnight, so I don't think the train service will be running. Blacklane is quoting more than 200 EUR, so hoping for something more realistic.

Bolt would certainly work if there's drivers available, but my concern is that we'll arrive late (we're already set to arrive at 12:20 and this flight has a dismal on-time record based on Flightaware) and there won't be any drivers available.

There is a 1:15am flybussen that departs the airport for the city center but after that ….. well, last time I overnighted at OSL without a hotel Starbucks was new there and I had missed the last ways out using the train and the bus.
There are two airport hotels that are a very short walk from the arrivals exit: a Radisson Blu and a Radisson Red (fd Park Inn). When coming in late, I would use those two if missing the last train and bus.

I don’t use Bolt when going to and from OSL late at night, but elsewhere in Scandinavia I’ve had good luck with late night Bolts even when I was previously this quarter expecting horrible chances.

We are staying in Okern (Radisson Red) and it looks like the bus might stop nearby - but after an overnight trip from the US and with luggage (it is a month long trip) and two of us we are thinking we might just bite the bullet and get a taxi... Are taxis flat rate? Or will we have to be careful about what we take? I am thinking it is about USD100 based on my research. For what it is worth we are connecting in CPH and should be in OSL around 10:30.

Good to see you’ve arrived at the correct answer. I can’t really think of a situation where taking a taxi from OSL will be the best solution.

For taxi, use the booking machine to get the standard fare.
If choosing the bus to Økern, it will involve about ten minutes walkig on sidewalks and maybe a couple of safe zebra crossings. Very doable, but of course, your trip and your decisions.

My research looks like it should be about NOK1000?
