Sweden's roads are quiet and well maintained, and a car opens up the west-coast fishing villages north of Gothenburg, the lakes of Småland and the archipelago around Stockholm. Malmö is also a short drive across the Øresund Bridge from Copenhagen.
If you plan to cross into Denmark or Norway, check the supplier allows it and whether a cross-border fee applies.
