  • Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Sweden.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's normally around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always obey the road signs.
