Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Sweden may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.

  • Driving in Sweden may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • In Sweden, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.02%. If you think you'll be drinking, leave the driving to someone else or take another form of transport.

  • The Swedish krona (SEK) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and excursions. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.

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 kilometers or so east.

  • During rush hour, expect the drive from Kalmar to the center 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.
