How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gothenburg?
The minimum age to rent a car in Gothenburg is 18. An extra fee for young drivers generally applies, so check before booking and budget for any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may vary between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Gothenburg?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental companies, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Gothenburg?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Sweden — the same as in the U.S. Cruising around Gothenburg won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gothenburg?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Gothenburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find a Gothenburg supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
