To rent a car, you will need: a valid driver's license (an international driver's license may be required if your license is not in Latin characters), a passport or other identification document, and a credit card in the driver's name. The minimum age for rental is usually 21, but some companies may require 23 or 25 years. A deposit is blocked on your credit card and returned after returning the car undamaged. The deposit amount depends on the type of car and insurance coverage.
When renting a car, you will be offered various types of insurance. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers damage to the car in the event of an accident. Theft insurance protects against loss of the vehicle. Pay attention to the excess amount – this is the amount you will have to pay yourself in case of damage or theft. You can reduce the excess by purchasing additional insurance, but this will increase the rental cost. Read the insurance terms carefully before signing the contract.
In Sweden, traffic is on the right. The speed on highways is usually limited to 110 km/h, on roads outside cities – 80-90 km/h, and in populated areas – 50 km/h.
