Car Rental - Gavle - Gavle Railway Station

At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's license*.

*No driver’s license is required if you are practising driving as long as you and your driving instructor present a certificate from the Swedish Government "Transportstyrelsen". An additional driver fee will apply. For further information, please refer to "Additional Driver".

For all Non-European Union renters an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended.

An IDP translates the national license into various languages and is on its own, without the national license, not acceptable.

Important Notice for Customers with UK Driving Licences issued in Great Britain

When renting in Sweden, all drivers with a UK licence (except Northern Ireland) will need to provide evidence of any driving endorsements. This also applies if you have a paper licence that was issued before 1998.

You will need to provide a ‘Check Code’ which enables you to share your driving record with someone, for example a car hire company. Check Codes are valid for 21 days.

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. BOTH the Certification and the original licence MUST be produced at the time of rental.

If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide. 

Please also refer to "Passport/Identity Card Information".

Extra day is charged after 29 minutes over 24 hour rental period.

A one way rental is a rental which starts at one location and terminates at another. Availability is subject to location restrictions and vehicle type. A fee may apply for this service and will be advised at time of reservation.

For further information, please contact your Reservation Centre.

Hertz rates do not include fuel.

Hertz vehicles are rented with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank or a local refuelling charge of SEK 375.00 or SEK 525.00 (including tax) will apply in addition to the cost of the fuel. Contract rates customers will be charged the cost of the fuel plus 50%.

Please be advised that HVO100 is the preferred fuel in diesel cars.

For electric vehicles, the battery will be up to at least 60.00% of capacity at the beginning of the rental and must be returned with at least the same level of battery or refuelling fee plus actual electric cost will be charged.

Fuel Purchase Option (FPO)

For your convenience, you may purchase a tank of fuel from Hertz at the time of rental at a price that is competitive with local fuel stations. This method eliminates the need for you to refill the tank before returning. Please be aware that we are unable to give a refund for unused fuel.

Please check availability at time of rental.
