Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Karlstad?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Karlstad, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Karlstad?

Where can I find a Karlstad car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Karlstad companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Karlstad?
For a safe, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides 24/7 emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Karlstad vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Karlstad with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Sweden, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
