Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Gothenburg, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 20 May 2025.
  • What are the requirements to rent a car in Gothenburg?

    There are several requirements that you should follow when it comes to car rentals in Gothenburg. The minimum age for a car rental in Gothenburg is 19, and you need to drive with a license held for more than a year. If your license uses a non-Roman alphabet (like Cyrillic), you also need to provide an International Driving Permit that you have acquired from your home country prior to your arrival. You also need to have an additional form of identification with you such as a passport or a credit/debit card. You are allowed to take your rental car into other countries with approval and written permission beforehand.

  • What are the rules for driving in Gothenburg?

    Just like the majority of Europe, traffic in Sweden is on the right side of the road – keep this in mind when you look for car rentals in Gothenburg. Seatbelts are compulsory for all passengers in all types of vehicles and your headlights must be always switched on, even in the daytime. The limit of blood alcohol level is 0.02% and fines are hefty, with even a chance to have your license revoked if you drive under the influence. The speed limits are 100km/h (62 mph) on highways, 70km/h (43 mph) on smaller roads and 50km/h (31 mph) in residential areas. It is best to check with Gothenburg motor vehicle authorities for recent law changes.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Gothenburg?

    Since there is a lot to see and do in the area, cheap car rental in Gothenburg is visitors’ preferred method of transportation. As most tourists decide to stay within the city and its limits, electric car rental and economy car rental are some of the most popular choices. Passenger van rental is also common among bigger groups.

  • What are the best places to park in Gothenburg?

    There are many types of parking spaces available for car rentals in Gothenburg. The nearer you park to the city centre, the more expensive and harder it is to find a spot. There are underground parking lots available for those who are looking to get into the city, leave their car rental and explore the sights.

  • Can I rent a car for a month in Gothenburg?

    Typically, how long you can hire a car for depends on the inventory of the supplier. For Gothenburg however, it is certainly possible to rent a car for an entire month.
