Located south of Gällivare, Gällivare Airport (GEV) is a regional airport in Norrbotten County, Sweden. Small yet efficient, the airport represents the north's timeless beauty and tranquility. Your adventure begins here!
There are several car rental agencies present at the airport for your convenience, including well-known international chains. Choose from a range of categories, from compact cars for solo travellers or couples to larger cars or SUVs suitable for families or groups.
Top Tip:Unlike in the UK, where we drive on the left side of the road, in Sweden you'll be driving on the right-hand side. It might take a bit of getting used to, especially when turning at junctions or roundabouts; take it slow, and you'll soon adjust.
In Sweden, vehicle headlights must be switched on to a dipped setting at all times, even in daylight hours. So, remember - keep those lights on!
Gällivare's city centre is only 5km from the airport - a short 10-minute drive away. Other cities including Malmberget, Koskullskulle and the beautiful city of Luleå are also within driving distance.
Remember, you're in Sweden's Arctic Circle! Winter temperatures can drop to -20°C, so it's crucial to equip your hired car with winter tyres during this period. In winter months, check if your rental includes a snow brush and ice scraper.
Note:The currency used in Sweden is the Swedish Krona (SEK). Credit cards are widely accepted, making it easy for you to pay for things like petrol or parking. Don't forget to inform your bank before travelling to avoid any blocking issues!
You will find several petrol stations in and around Gällivare. The majority are open 24/7 and many offer self-service options. It’s important to return your rented car with a full tank, so plan in a pit stop before your flight out.
Arctic wildlife, forests, rivers and the phenomenal Northern Lights - Gällivare offers an experience like no other. Enjoy hassle-free car rental services at Gällivare Airport and start your adventure as soon as you land!
