A few points
to remember about rental cars in Scandinavia:
- most cars have standard transmission.
- automatics increase daily rates significantly, please ask
- most cars are not equipped with air conditioning.
- Economy and Compact categories are recommended for no more than two
adults.
- rates are higher than in North America as they include taxes of up to
25%.
- drop-off charges between major cities in Scandinavia apply.
- gasoline prices are on average $8.50 - $10.00 per gallon.
- in many places, car ferries are necessary and these fares range from
$10 - $70.
- there are bridges (and, in Norway, some highways) that charge tolls. The
2 major Danish bridges have tolls of around $40 one way.
Equipped with the above knowledge (and a good map), travel by rental car
is an experience not to be missed. |
