Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by company (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Sweden may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Sweden.

  • Keep within the local speed limits. In general that's around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • In Sweden, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.02%. If you intend to drink, get someone else to do the driving or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.

  • You'll be using the Swedish krona (SEK) for everyday expenses throughout your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash to cover you in every situation.

Drive smarter from the start

  • The real fun starts once you've grabbed the keys to your KLR car hire. You've got the freedom to take any route you choose, but if you're off to central Kalmar, it'll take you around 10 minutes to travel the 6 kilometres or so east.

  • During rush hour, expect the drive from Kalmar to the centre to take up to 15 minutes.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right away? Think about grabbing a car hire in Kalmar instead of at the airport. That way, you won't be paying for days you don't use.
