Located in the heart of Sweden, Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is one of the busiest in Scandinavia. With over 26 million passengers passing through annually, it's a global hub that greets travellers from around the world, including the UK.
Car Rental Stations at the Airport
You won’t have to worry about the ease of finding a rental car station. There are several options available from prominent rental companies located directly at the airport terminals. They provide top-notch services with choices including economy, compact, standard, full-size, and luxury vehicles.
Essential Navigation Tips
Driving in Sweden offers some different experiences compared to the UK. Remember, in Sweden, you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road and the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. But fear not, most British drivers adapt quickly to these changes. Also, English is widely spoken which will ease your navigation and communication.
Fuel Stations & Routes
Near the airport, there are several fuel stations open 24/7. They accept major credit cards so refuelling should be a hassle-free experience. Once you’re ready to hit the road, you can take Route E4, one of Sweden's primary highways, which runs directly from Stockholm-Arlanda to central Stockholm.
Destination Highlights
Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, is barely 40 minutes’ drive from the airport. With your hire car, you're not just restricted to the city. Famous attractions such as the Uppsala Cathedral, Vasa Museum and the stunning Castle of Drottningholm are all within reach.
Local Climate & Currency
In terms of climate, Stockholm's weather might be a change from what you're used to in the UK. Summers are relatively warm and ideal for outdoor activities, while in winter, snow is common. The currency is the Swedish Krona (SEK) but you can rest easy knowing that credit cards are widely accepted.
Conquer Sweden with Confidence
With your rental car, you'll be ready to conquer Stockholm and its surroundings with ease. Remember, you're not just buying a holiday – you're buying an unforgettable adventure. Drive safe and enjoy your stay!
