Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Karlstad.
Before leaving the parking garage in Karlstad, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
On local gas stations, drivers can select from unleaded petrol (Blyfri 95 and Blyfri 98), or choose in favor of diesel fuel. There is also octane gasoline (Premium 98 and Medium 96) at local petrol stations. Drivers, who prefer this type of fuel, should look for red pump columns at petrol stations.
A large part of petrol stations works from 7:00 to 19:00 - 20:00 on weekdays. Petrol stations that work around the clock can be found on highways. There are also automated petrol stations in Sweden. They accept payments in paper money only. It is worth keeping in mind that diesel fuel is extremely rare at automated petrol stations.
Trams are considered “privileged” participants of the traffic. Drivers should treat them with particular attention. If a tram has stopped, all the cars that move behind it must also stop and wait for passengers to come out and leave the road.
