Car rental in Borlänge kommun

Driving Tips

Driving Orientation

Just like in the UK, Swedes drive on the right-hand side of the road. Keep this in mind when approaching junctions and roundabouts.

Speed Limits

Speed is typically restricted to 30 km/h in residential areas, 70 km/h on open roads, and 110-120 km/h on motorways. Unlike in the UK, speed limits are often lower in Sweden during winter months for safety.

Parking

In Borlänge kommun, parking is mainly regulated by parking discs. You need to set the parking disc to show the time you parked. The regulation hours are usually from 8 AM to 6 PM. Most UK cars do not come with a parking disc, so remember to buy one upon arrival.

Car Class Recommendations

For a comfortable trip around Borlänge kommun, we recommend mid-sized cars for families and SUVs for bigger groups. If you're into a more luxurious journey, premium or luxury cars are available for hire.

Attractions & Routes

Borlänge is the musical heart of Sweden, home to the popular 'Peace & Love' music festival. The city also offers a wide array of attractions like Kupolen Shopping Centre, the Romme Alpin Ski Resort and the Frostbrunnsdalen Nature Reserve. Beautiful sceneries and attractions outside the city such as Falun Mine and the Lake Runn are a driving hour or less away.

Currency and Payment

The currency of Sweden is Swedish Krona, unlike the British Pound used in the UK. Large-scale establishments accept major credit and debit cards. However, the small shops and some parking machines only accept coins or local bank cards. It's always handy to have some local currency with you.

Climate and Car Hire Considerations

Prepare for colder weather in Borlänge kommun than in the UK. During winter, it's advisable to hire cars with winter tires for a safer drive. In summer, temperatures can climb, making it worthwhile to opt for a vehicle with air conditioning.
