FLF Taxi Nastola
Taxi and minivan taxi in Nastola
Nastola was merged into Lahti in 2016 and is now the eastern part of the city, about 20 kilometres from the centre. The same fleet serves both.
Nastola was merged into Lahti in 2016 and is now the eastern part of the city, about 20 kilometres and 20 minutes from the centre. It is worth saying that plainly, because it affects practical matters: the same fleet, the same drivers and the same invoicing agreement cover Nastola and the rest of Lahti. If a company already has an agreement with FLF in Lahti, it applies as it stands to a site in Nastola and no separate contract is needed.
The Nastola area consists of several separate built-up centres. Kirkonkylä is the administrative centre, Villähde is the settlement on the Lahti side, and Uusikylä to the east is a village centre of its own. The area also has workplaces, which shows in the rides we drive: shift transport and staff transfers are part of everyday work in Nastola. The lakes and cottage housing in the area add summer journeys.
Individual rides are booked through the region's most common dispatch channels and apps, in which FLF vehicles operate. Advance bookings, minivan taxis, commuting transport and contract journeys are agreed directly with us on 040 830 2222 or at taksi@flf.fi, and the vehicles leave from our office at Asentajankatu 1. The price is based on the distance, the time of day, the vehicle size, the number of passengers and whether the journey recurs. Passenger transport carries 14% VAT; prices for businesses are quoted excluding VAT.

Nastola to Helsinki-Vantaa
Nastola is part of Lahti, and it shows in practice
The municipality of Nastola was merged into Lahti at the start of 2016, so Nastola is not a separate municipality but the eastern part of the city. For taxi services this means that addresses in Nastola sit in the same service area as central Lahti: the same fleet, the same employed drivers and the same pricing logic. A journey within the city from the centre out to Villähde or Uusikylä is an ordinary urban ride, even though the distance is 20 kilometres or more.
For businesses this is a concrete advantage. When you agree an invoicing contract in Lahti, the same contract, the same pricing and the same consolidated invoice cover rides to the industrial areas of Nastola. No separate agreement or separate booking channel is needed, and the journeys appear in the same itemisation by cost centre on the invoice. The named contact person is the same too.
The distances within the area are still real. It is about 20 kilometres and some 20 minutes from central Lahti towards Nastola, and Uusikylä lies further east again. That is why journeys tied to a schedule, such as shift changes, trains and airport runs, are worth booking in advance in Nastola, even though this is the same city.
Commuting and shift transport to the industrial areas
Shift changes
Transport for morning, evening and night shifts to a factory or warehouse on a fixed route with a regular driver, for the hours when public transport does not run.
Several workers in one ride
A minivan taxi takes 1+8 passengers, so people on the same shift can be collected from several addresses in one vehicle and arrive together.
Contract price and invoicing
Regular traffic gets a fixed contract price, a dedicated booking channel and one consolidated invoice a month, excluding VAT.
Visitors and audits
Visitors arriving at a site are collected from Lahti Matkakeskus or the airport and taken back at an agreed time.
Villähde, Kirkonkylä, Uusikylä and Pyhäntaka
- Villähde is the settlement on the Lahti side, and a ride there from the centre is one of the shorter journeys in the area.
- Kirkonkylä is the administrative centre of Nastola, with the services and most of the blocks of flats.
- Uusikylä to the east is a village centre of its own, reached from Lahti through the Nastola settlements.
- For addresses in Pyhäntaka and the other villages, give the full address and directions into the yard where needed.
- We drive to lakeside addresses and cottages through the summer season, with shopping and luggage in the same vehicle.
- For rural addresses it is worth booking in advance, as fewer vehicles are out in the area than in the city centre.
Station rides and rail connections
The railway between Lahti and Kouvola runs through Nastola. In practice a passenger using the train needs a ride from their own door to the station and back, particularly for the first services of the morning and the last of the evening. These rides are worth agreeing in advance, because they are short but tied to a precise time.
The other common station journey is the trip from Nastola to Lahti Matkakeskus, where passengers continue by long-distance train or coach. The distance is about 20 kilometres and the fixed price is agreed in advance. Tell us the train's departure time and the pick-up is set from that rather than from an estimate. If you arrive in Lahti in the evening and continue to Nastola, it is worth booking the ride home at the same time.
