The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Visby are: BMW X3, Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage, Toyota Landcruiser, BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Sweden ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Sweden are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
There are special environmental zones in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö. Entering their territory without a special pass is prohibited. In order to get a pass, it is enough to visit the road service of the relevant city and pass the control. If the vehicle meets all environmental indicators, the driver will receive the pass.
There are no specific rules concerning the use of snow chains and winter tires. Studded tires can only be used in the period from the beginning of October to the end of April, and only in case of winter weather.
In addition to toll motorways, fees are charged for crossing Oresund (connects Sweden and Denmark) and Svinesund (connects Sweden and Norway) bridges. It is possible to pay tolls on these bridges both in the national currency (Danish, Norwegian or Swedish kronor) and in euro. The exact amount of the fee depends on the type of vehicle.
