Last Minute Car Rental in Sweden

Experience the Sights and Sounds of Sweden

Travel the length and breadth of Sweden when you hire a last minute car with Bingo Car Rental. The largest of the three Nordic countries, Sweden borders Finland and Norway, and is connected to Denmark via the Öresund Bridge. Sweden’s east coast lies on the Baltic Sea, and is home to Sweden’s stylish capital city, Stockholm. Located in the south-central region known as Svealand, Stockholm is certainly worth a visit, though for many the real charm of Sweden lies in its many areas of natural beauty, with vast areas of wilderness, snow-covered mountains, pine forests and wonderfully clear lakes. Enjoy the freedom to explore this beautiful country at your leisure from the comfort of your own vehicle.

Begin your travels in Stockholm on the east coast, collecting your last minute car on arrival at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN), located some 40km north of the city. Stockholm is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, sitting on fourteen islands on Lake Mälaren, with a fine collection of museums and a vibrant cultural and nightlife. Gamla Stan is the historic old town, Norrmalm is the business area, known at the City, and Ostermalm is home to many of the cities tourist attractions, including the National City Park.

Over on the west coast is the port city of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second city and a friendly place with a vast canal network, grand architecture and elegant avenues and squares. You can fly directly to Gothenburg, landing at Landvetter Airport (GOT), just 25 km east of the city, or you could drive the 500 km from Stockholm, or even cross the border from Copenhagen in Denmark, just 317 km away or from Oslo in Norway, just 320km. Whilst you are in the Gothenburg region, make sure you take a ferry across to the beautiful islands that form the southern archipelago.

Drive south along the coastline, passing through some of Europe’s best beaches, to the cities of Malmo and Lund. Malmo has a wonderful medieval centre, as well as having a reputation for being a party town, whilst Lund is a grand old university city. You should also get out to visit some of the great lakes of this region, including Vanern and Vattern, or drive north to the central region to Lake Siljan, regarded as Sweden’s most beautiful lake. As you travel through the central region, you will come across plenty of traditional-looking towns and villages, and along the eastern Bothnian coast you will find the cities of Lulea, Umea and Sundsvall.

In the northern part of Sweden, inside the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, you will find Sweden’s indigenous Sami population. Jokkmokk, a town located north of the Arctic Circle is the heart of Sami life and is a fascinating place to visit, or get out and about in your last minute car rental into the beautiful wilderness, with endless pine forests, rivers and lakeside villages to be explored. Lapland is a popular winter destination for families visiting the home of Santa Claus, as well as with visitors in the summer wanting to experience the midnight sun. Kiruna and Gallivare are great bases for travelling in this region, or you could treat yourself to a stay in the famous Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi. Wherever you choose to stay, you are certain to enjoy a holiday of a lifetime in this amazing country.
