To brave the Swedish weather, it is a good idea to opt for a 4-wheel-drive car as it provides better traction. For driving inside the city, a sedan or SUV is a good choice, or even a smaller car if possible since Stockholm has some narrow roads and limited parking inside the center.

When driving through Stockholm, look out for posted signs on the right side of the road. Regulations usually permit 30 km/h (18 mph) in school zones and 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas. Outside the city, up to 90 km/h (55 mph) can be driven and up to 120 km/h (74 mph) on highways. Naturally, in winter conditions, you will have to adjust your speed.

Petrol prices in Europe are considerably higher than in the US, so bear that in mind when budgeting. However, as public transport and taxis can be expensive, too, the added convenience of a hire car makes it more than worth it. A liter of petrol in Stockholm costs around 15 Krona ($1.62, or $6.48 per gallon) and, as is common in many petrol stations in Europe, payment is often done after the refill, inside the station at the counter.

Designated street parking is metered in most places in Stockholm and varies in time restrictions and prices, so pay attention to the signs. There are also parking garages and lots available, as well as P+Rs dotted around the city, which are usually cheaper and well-connected to public transport.
