Good to know

  • Check each supplier's age requirements before booking your car rental in Sweden. Rules can vary, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' box and enter your age to browse your options.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Sweden.

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

  • In Sweden, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.02%. If you intend to have a few drinks, pass the keys to someone else or take another form of transport.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

  • You'll be using the Swedish krona (SEK) for day-to-day spending throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to ensure you're covered in all situations.
