Good to know
Age requirements often vary by provider 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 range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
Kids coming with you? Car seat laws differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Find out if you need to add one to your Linkoping car hire booking.
You'll need some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
Take a few moments to get used to your home. Check your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Sweden.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Sweden is 0.02%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
