FLF Taxi Lahti
Minivan taxi and taxi services in Lahti: accessible vehicles and airport transfers
Lahti is FLF's home city. Most of our taxi fleet is based here, at our office on Asentajankatu 1.
If you need a minivan taxi for a larger group in Lahti, a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or a reliable ride to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, you are in the right place. FLF is a Lahti-based taxi company whose drivers are our own employees and whose minivan taxis carry 1–8 passengers. We drive private customers, families, businesses and the Päijät-Häme wellbeing services county's contracted journeys with the same vehicles and the same professional standard.
Our Lahti fleet consists of wheelchair-accessible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter minivan taxis, Caddy Maxi wheelchair vehicles and saloon cars, many of them electric or hybrid, such as the Tesla Model 3 and Toyota Camry Hybrid. Vehicles leave from Asentajankatu, so pick-ups at the Matkakeskus travel centre, Sibelius Hall, Isku Areena or the Sports Centre are a short drive away. The neighbouring municipalities of Hollola, Nastola, Orimattila and Heinola are part of our daily service area.
Individual rides in Lahti are booked through the region's most common taxi dispatch channels and apps, where FLF vehicles operate. Advance bookings, airport transfers, group moves and business contract journeys are agreed directly with us, and for those we give a fixed price up front. The price depends on the route, the time, the vehicle type and whether the journey is recurring. You will usually have a quote on the same working day.

Minivan taxi in Lahti for 1–8 passengers
A minivan taxi is the right vehicle when there are more than four passengers or you are travelling with luggage, sports equipment or a wheelchair.
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter: 1+8 passengers, with room for suitcases and ski bags.
- One vehicle for the whole family or group of friends to a Pelicans game at Isku Areena or a concert at Sibelius Hall.
- Pick-ups and return rides at agreed times for the Lahti Ski Games and other events at the Sports Centre.
- Groups of more than 8 travel in several minivan taxis at the same time, not in a minibus.
- Advance bookings get a fixed price that does not change because of traffic or route.
Taxi from Lahti to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport
Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is about 110 kilometres from Lahti and the drive usually takes 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. When you book your airport transfer in advance, the driver knows your departure time and follows the traffic situation, so the pick-up time can be set correctly. For the first morning flights, people typically leave Lahti three to four hours before departure, and a taxi from the front door is often smoother than changing trains at Tikkurila.
On the return journey the driver tracks the flight's arrival time and waits in the arrivals hall at an agreed spot. A delayed flight does not leave you without a ride. With a minivan taxi, an airport transfer also works for a group of eight with luggage, which is often cheaper than two separate cars.
The price is fixed and agreed when you book. It depends on the pick-up address in Lahti or the neighbouring municipalities, the time of day, the vehicle size and whether waiting time is needed. For businesses, airport transfers are invoiced on a monthly consolidated invoice.
Wheelchair-accessible taxi and social care rides in Lahti
Our accessible vehicles meet Traficom's requirements: the wheelchair space is at least 0.75 × 1.10 metres, the interior height is 1.40–1.45 metres, and each vehicle has a lift or ramp, wheelchair restraints and a seat belt. The driver assists you in and out of the vehicle and, if needed, to your front door. In Lahti you can book an accessible minivan taxi privately, for example for a medical appointment, a family celebration or a trip to the Vesijärvi shore.
Journeys under the Disability Services Act and the Social Welfare Act (VPL and SHL) in Päijät-Häme are dispatched by Lahden Aluetaksi, tel. 03 2100 500. Rides are booked at least an hour in advance and cancelled at least 45 minutes before, the pick-up happens within ±15 minutes of the agreed time and an escort travels free of charge. FLF's accessible vehicles drive these journeys through the dispatch centre as a contract partner, so the booking is always made with the dispatch centre, not directly with us.
Kela-reimbursed taxi journeys in Päijät-Häme are booked through the region's Kela booking number. FLF vehicles drive Kela journeys as a contract partner of the regional dispatch. When you book, mention a wheelchair or other aids so that the dispatch assigns an accessible vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a taxi from Lahti to the airport cost?
The price is agreed as a fixed amount in advance and depends on the pick-up address, time of day and vehicle size. The journey is about 110 kilometres and takes 60–90 minutes. A minivan taxi for 5–8 people is often cheaper than two cars. Request a quote by phone or via the quote page and you will usually have an exact price on the same working day.
Can I get a minivan taxi for 8 people in Lahti?
Yes. Our Sprinter and Crafter minivan taxis take 1+8 passengers with luggage. A larger group travels in several minivan taxis at the same time, because we do not have minibuses for more than 8 people. We recommend booking in advance, especially for weekend evenings, Pelicans home games and the Lahti Ski Games.
How do I book a Kela taxi in Lahti?
A Kela-reimbursed taxi journey in Päijät-Häme is booked through the region's Kela booking number, not directly from a taxi company. The dispatch assigns the ride to a contract partner, and FLF vehicles drive these journeys. When booking, mention if you need an accessible vehicle or an escort so that the right vehicle is sent.
Do you drive to Heinola and Hollola?
Yes. Hollola, Nastola, Orimattila and Heinola are part of our daily service area from Lahti. Heinola is about 35 kilometres from Asentajankatu. Longer transfers elsewhere in Finland are also agreed case by case at a fixed price.
Can a business get an invoicing agreement in Lahti?
Yes. We set up a dedicated booking channel, a price list excluding VAT and a monthly consolidated invoice that itemises journeys by passenger or cost centre. The agreement suits both occasional guest rides and regular staff transport. You will usually have a quote on the same working day.
Is there an accessible taxi in Lahti in the evenings and at weekends?
Our accessible minivan taxis can be booked in advance for evenings and weekends too. Because most of our fleet is based in Lahti, an accessible vehicle is usually nearby. A single accessible ride is booked through the regional dispatch channel, or for VPL journeys through Lahden Aluetaksi; advance bookings are made directly with us.
