Driving Tips for Sweden
As soon as you pick up your rental car in Sweden, the fun can begin. To help your trip go as smoothly as possible, keep these recommendations in mind:
- Winter weather: As a Nordic country, Sweden can experience heavy snowfall, especially in the north. Always check the weather forecast before heading out and drive carefully.
- Toll roads: Sweden has a few toll roads, but you can ask about our prepaid toll program.
- Headlights: Your headlights must be on at all times in Sweden, and must be set to low beam during the day.
- Gas stations: Before heading out on a long drive, be aware that there are no gas stations on the highways. All gas stations are located in towns or near exits, so fuel up when possible and keep an eye on your tank.
- Local driving etiquette: Swedes are known to be generally calm drivers, and horns should only be used when it is absolutely necessary to prevent an accident.
