Driving in Sweden

Major car rental companies in Sweden include Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Sixt. Daily rental costs typically range from 500 to 900 SEK depending on the vehicle and season, with weekly rentals offering better rates. Drivers must be at least 18 or 20 years old, depending on the company, and hold a valid driver’s license. Roads are well-maintained and clearly signposted, with strict adherence to speed limits and traffic laws. Parking in city centers can be expensive and limited; look for designated parking zones and use parking apps. Renting a car is recommended if you plan to explore rural areas, Lapland, or the archipelago where public transport is limited. In cities like Stockholm, public transport is usually more convenient. Always carry an International Driving Permit if your license is not in English or Swedish.
