What types of cars can I rent in Kalmar?
Mini, intermediate, full-size, premium ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Kalmar. If you want something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is the perfect choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars are a little roomier compared to economy rides and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kalmar?
You need to be at least 18 to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Kalmar. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Kalmar?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kalmar?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Sweden — the same side as in the States. Cruising around Kalmar won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarise yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kalmar?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip dates and we'll list incredible options from a range of reliable suppliers.
Where can I find a Kalmar car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Kalmar, we suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
