Driving in Gothenburg
Major car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Sixt operate in Gothenburg. Typical daily rental costs range from 500 to 900 SEK depending on the vehicle type and season, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must be at least 20 years old, with a valid driver’s license held for at least one year; an International Driving Permit may be required for non-EU licenses. Roads are well-maintained and driving is on the right side. Parking in the city center can be limited and expensive; look for designated parking garages or zones. From a tourist perspective, renting a car is not necessary for exploring Gothenburg itself due to excellent public transport and walkability. However, a car is recommended if planning to explore the surrounding countryside or archipelago islands more independently.
