Reasons to book a car rental in and around Scandinavia

Renting a car in Scandinavia is an excellent option for tourists looking to explore the region at their own pace. With a rental vehicle, you can easily manage your luggage while enjoying the freedom to visit various attractions without the constraints of public transportation schedules. This flexibility is particularly appealing for those interested in skiing or adventure sports, as it allows you to travel to popular destinations like ski resorts or adventure parks with ease.

Whether you are planning to embark on a scenic drive through the breathtaking landscapes or wish to visit charming towns, having a car enables you to make spontaneous stops along the way. The convenience of a rental car makes it especially beneficial for families or groups, as it provides ample space for gear and equipment. By choosing to rent a car, you can create a personalized itinerary, ensuring that you experience the best that Scandinavia has to offer while enjoying the journey itself.

10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Scandinavia

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, making it advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are usually more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favourable option. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel policies, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Scandinavia car reservation?
There are always times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we give your money back on many prepaid reservations if you advise us six hours before the scheduled collection time. Remember to double-check your rental agreement — sometimes it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Scandinavia with Expedia?
Whatever class of ride you're looking for, Expedia will help you track down the best deal. Just compare the offers from well-known rental suppliers and select the option that works for you. Want to drive away with even bigger savings? Combine your Scandinavia car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scandinavia?
Drivers 18 and over can hit the road in Scandinavia in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Scandinavia?
Two things — your 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 alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scandinavia?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and reserve a ride that's all yours for however long you need.
Where can I find a Scandinavia car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Scandinavia supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
