Company profile
researched Aug 2026Fast Travel develops a taxi management system (TMS) designed for high-traffic areas such as airports, hotels, and bus and train stations. The product is an integrated ecosystem rather than a single application: a driver app for taxi operators working airport, station and hotel transfers; a "permit owner space" that consolidates vehicle, driver, fleet and reservation administration into one platform; and self-service booking kiosks deployed in airport terminals and hotel lobbies. The kiosks guide passengers through destination entry, special requirements and vehicle selection, and end in a confirmation page showing a fixed, non-changing price, destination, trip duration and car details, with multi-language support.
Operationally, the system is built around holding taxis in a designated depot and releasing them to the terminal exit only when an order is confirmed, which is intended to reduce idling and free curbside and terminal space. It includes traffic flow regulation algorithms, automated dispatching and real-time monitoring, and provides operators with data on passenger traffic, waiting times, supply and demand and customer behaviour, plus tools for active price management. Passenger-facing features include car segmentation (premium, maxi and eco-friendly categories), choice of specific car model, special requests such as child seats or pet accommodation, and selection from multiple approved taxi providers that meet airport-defined vehicle and driver standards. Emissions reduction is approached through information and eco-car selection at booking rather than enforcement.
The company positions the solution as deployable either as a stand-alone system or inside an existing TMS, and describes itself as a potential partner for the parking industry where taxi and parking management goals overlap.
Business model
Fast Travel supplies its taxi management system to venue operators — airports, hotels and other transport hubs — combining proprietary hardware (kiosks, chip readers, cameras) with a custom software suite, sold either as a stand-alone deployment or as a layer integrated into an operator's existing taxi management system. The site directs prospects to sales contact, demo requests and consultations, and promotes a partnership network for venues and hospitality brands.
Traction
The system is live at Oslo Gardermoen and at multiple hotels near the airport, tested in partnership with Oslo Lufthavn, with a reported customer satisfaction rate of more than 85%. The company states the deployment created value for operators, passengers and the taxi industry and increased the use of eco taxis, contributing to airport sustainability goals. Subsequent items report an agreement with Avinor for curbside operations at five airports and plans to expand the booking platform to further locations.
Latest developments
An agreement with Norwegian airport operator Avinor for curbside operations at five airports was reported, alongside plans to expand the taxi booking platform to additional locations following the Oslo Airport launch, and published material on sustainability in taxi operations.

Market position
Fast Travel describes its offering as a fully developed taxi management system specialised for high-traffic areas around airports and hubs, differentiating from queue-management approaches by focusing on the passenger experience, and reports a customer satisfaction rate above 85%. It presents itself as a complement to parking operators rather than solely a taxi dispatch vendor.
Stated points of difference include depot-based release of taxis only against confirmed orders to free terminal curbside space, passenger choice of taxi provider, car segment and specific car model, fixed pre-agreed pricing shown before confirmation, dual vehicle tracking via chip readers with camera-based licence plate recognition as redundancy, hardware specified for extreme cold, and the ability to deploy either stand-alone or inside an incumbent TMS.
Technology
The stack spans hardware and software. Active chip readers installed in vehicles by drivers at registration track individual taxis through the flow and gate access to restricted areas under a customisable ruleset, with a stated chip lifespan of up to five years. High-end traffic cameras with machine-learning licence plate recognition provide redundancy at critical junctions and are specified to operate in any weather. Custom ordering machines use high-brightness 32-inch screens in a steel chassis, available in multiple colours and designs and rated for temperatures as low as -30°C. The software suite comprises a passenger ordering system, separate driver and permit-owner self-service spaces, and a backend with APIs and integrations to external systems such as accounting. Additional stated capabilities include traffic flow regulation algorithms, automated dispatching, real-time monitoring and overview cameras.
Go-to-market
The company markets directly to venue operators through demo requests, sales contact and consultations via its website, and builds a partnership network that it says already includes Oslo Airport and hospitality brands. It also maintains a presence in the parking industry, listing itself on Parking Network with a named contact person, Ole Amundsen, and publishing items there about taxi technology and sustainability in taxi operations.
Airports and other major transport hubs, hotels near airports, bus and train stations, taxi permit owners and fleet operators, and parking industry operators managing curbside and taxi flows.
Geography
Headquartered at Bedriftsvegen 64, 3735 Skien, Norway. The system is implemented at Oslo Gardermoen, Norway's largest airport, and at many hotels near the airport, with an agreement covering curbside operations at five Avinor airports.
