KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Umeå

  • When visiting the stunning educational hub of Umea in Sweden, use a car hire company to enjoy not just one of the cultural centres of the country, but will find yourself a stone’s throw away from the beautiful natural wilderness. Cheap car hire in Umea will give you the opportunity to take in museums, art galleries, cultural centres and so much more, as well as put you 22min away from Lake Bäcksjön, the popular spot that is used to view the Northern Lights. Meander down the banks of the Ume River surrounding the city, and if you visit Umea during the spring you will find an array of festivals, including the popular music festival, Umea Open.
  • If arriving in Umea by plane, you will land at the Umea Airport (UME). The airport has a Budget car hire in the Arrivals terminal, from which you can pre-book with KAYAK. Once you have collected your hired car, hop on the Blå Vägen Road and E4 and find yourself in downtown Umea in about 10min.
  • Cheap car hire in Umea will make exploring a breeze. This well-maintained, modern city has roads that are tarred and easy to navigate in the main city, with the odd dirt road in the countryside areas. The city has many roundabouts, which are important to understand as a driver, as this is the primary way of controlling traffic flow. You will find the road signs are mostly in Swedish, so understanding the basics of the language will be a good help when navigating. You will drive on the right side of the road and keep your headlights on, even during the daytime.
  • The most challenging aspect of driving a cheap car hire in Umea will be in the winter months, when snowfall can be quite heavy. While it's likely your car hire company will provide snow chains for tyres in winter, ensure you also have a scraper and will be parked underground overnight to stop the hired car from freezing. The city itself has relatively calm traffic except in the city centre where you can expect congestion not just at rush hour, but most of the day. Book a GPS navigation system with your hired car and spot traffic build-up beforehand.
  • Economy hire cars in Umeå are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Umea?

    When deciding on your Umea car hire, consider your itinerary and whether you will be spending time in the countryside surrounding the city. While you be able to reach the rural areas easily with an economy compact vehicle or sedan, you may want to enjoy the high performance of an SUV if travelling into the hilly regions. If you are planning on staying local or sticking to highways, you can find great choices of fuel-saving smaller cars that will be perfect for your holiday.

  • What is the speed limit in Umea?

    Umea observes speed limits in kilometres. Expect to drive a slow 30 km/h (19 mph) in zoned areas, such as near schools, 50 km/h (31 mph) when in the city, and 90 km/h (56 mph) on the expressway or main roads. When you take your car hire out on motorways, such as the E4 and E6, you can push the speed to 120 km/h (75 mph). Be aware that speeding fines in Sweden are hefty, and traffic officers take rule violations seriously.

  • Where are the best places to park in Umea?

    The city is very modernised in terms of parking. You will find on-street parking that is charged for by zone. If you buy the most expensive zone permit, you can park in cheaper zones, but not the other way around. Umea is dotted with car parks across the city that include free and paid spots. Look for the famous Upab car parks. This is a large company that owns most of the parking lots in the city, and it is easy to purchase permits online. They have comprehensive maps offering times, zones, and fees. The average price per hour is 90 SEK (about 7 GBP).
