Car rental Östergötland County

Your UK-to-Sweden Car Rental Guide

Driving on the Right

Unlike the UK, Sweden follows right-hand traffic rules. This might be a significant change if you are not accustomed to it. But don't worry, with a bit of practise, you'll be zipping along like a local in no time.

Speed Limits and Road Safety

Speed limits vary; typical limits are 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on divided highways, and 50 km/h in urban areas. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, and drink-driving laws are strict with a permitted blood alcohol level of just 0.02%.

Make the Most of Your Trip

Choose the Right Car

From compact models for city driving, to roomier options for family outings or off-road explorations, we provide a range of vehicle classes to suit your journey. If you plan to explore the rugged landscapes of Östergötland County, an SUV could be your ideal companion.

Currency: Swedish Krona

Although Sweden is a member of the EU, the currency is not the Euro but the Swedish Krona (SEK). Be sure to have some local currency for tolls and local fees, even though credit cards are widely accepted.

Scenic Routes

Östergötland County's scenic driving routes won't disappoint. The Archipelago Road will take you through small coastal towns and spectacular sea views, while Kolmården offers astonishing views over Bråviken bay.

Local Attractions

Don't miss the majestic Ekenäs Castle, the rock carvings in Himmelstalund, the Norrköping Industrial Landscape, and make sure to wander around the picturesque archipelago town Söderköping.

Weather and Seasons

Östergötland boasts a temperate climate with distinct seasons. Summers are warm, perfect for cruising along the coast and visiting the beaches. Winters can be cold, so if you are planning a winter trip, make sure to opt for a four-wheel-drive vehicle and snow tyres.
