Question 5

Accepted Answer

It depends. Some car rental companies in Sweden accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Check the company’s accepted payment methods before you book.

Either way, the card needs to be in the main driver’s name, and you’ll need enough money on it to cover a security deposit. You’ll get it back when you return the car.

If you’ve booked a car rental with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The time you have to cancel depends on the car rental company, but it’s typically around 48 hours before pickup. If you cancel after that, you may be charged.

If your booking doesn’t include free cancellation, you’ll need to check the car rental company’s policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might need to pay a cancellation fee or you won’t get a refund.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

One-way car rental is popular with people planning a Sweden road trip, because it means you don’t have to drive back to where you started.
