About us

We’re part of Oslo’s heartbeat
At Oslo Taxi, our vision is simple: everyone should feel welcome. We take our social responsibility seriously and aim to be an integral part of the city’s transport system.

Oslo’s oldest and largest taxi company
Founded as the Den kommunale bilcentral (Municipal Car Central) in 1921, Oslo Taxi is one of the oldest taxi companies in Northern Europe.

Today, we have around 195 employees, nearly 3,000 affiliated drivers, and partnerships with over 350 companies, along with strong ties to the public sector. We’re ISO-certified for both quality (ISO 9001:2015) and environmental standards (ISO 14001:2015).

Quality that puts passengers first
We consistently earn high customer satisfaction scores because our drivers and vehicles meet strict internal standards. Every potential driver is interviewed - not just for their qualifications, but for their ability to represent Oslo Taxi with professionalism and care.

Even drivers with a valid taxi license from the police must complete our onboarding process, which includes a new local knowledge exam, a driving test, a verified language assessment, and a two-week training course. Since 2014, we’ve declined 3 out of 10 applicants based on this interview.
