Car Hire in Malmo

Our Malmö locations offer a quality fleet for city streets and longer journeys across Skåne. A compact car is ideal for the city centre and tight parking, while an estate or SUV gives you more room for luggage, bikes or beach gear. For families, a people carrier gives everyone room.

Add the extras you need when you book, including GPS navigation, child safety seats and additional driver cover. Choose the collection point that suits your plans, from Malmö Central and Hyllie Station to Malmö Sturup Airport. 

What are the age requirements for hiring a car in Malmö? 

The minimum age depends on the country and the car group you choose, and a young driver surcharge may apply to drivers under 25. Check the rental terms shown during booking for the exact requirements. Drivers also need a full, valid driving licence, so bring yours when you collect the car. 

Can I pick up my hire car in Malmö and return it to another location? 

Yes. One-way rental with Avis lets you collect your car in Malmö and return it to another Avis location. Availability and any one-way fee depend on your route, so check when you book. Many Avis locations also offer 24-hour drop-off, which makes one-way trips more flexible. 

Is it worth hiring a car in Malmö? 

Yes, if you want to see more of Skåne. Malmö itself is compact and easy to explore on foot or by bike, but the region's beaches, castles and farmland are easiest to reach by car. A car also makes it simple to cross the Öresund Bridge to Copenhagen, where a toll applies. 

What is parking like in Malmö? 

Central Malmö has paid street parking and several car parks, with charges that vary by area and time of day. Look out for signs and payment instructions, as rules can vary from one area to the next. Many hotels offer their own parking, so ask when you book. 

What type of car should I hire for Malmö? 

A compact car suits city streets and tight car parks. For longer trips with family or luggage, an estate or SUV is more comfortable. If you are travelling in winter, ask our team about winter equipment when you book. You can also choose your preferred car group and add any extras you need. 

Simply rent an Avis rental car at Kastrup airport in Copenhagen, or at the Sturup Airport in Malmö, and enjoy a comfortable drive from there to your selected destination. The Oresund Bridge makes a crossing from Denmark to Sweden (or vice versa) very convenient.

In Malmö, be sure to try a Swedish tradition - Fika - and take a coffee break in one of the many restaurants and cafes around Lilla Torg (Lilla square).

Also, take time to visit the beaches, as the 2.5-kilometer Ribersborg beach or West Port with its beach promenades features great views, great walks, and multiple restaurants and cafes.

Discover Malmö, Sweden with your rental car from Avis. We wish you a good trip!

Lund, a historic university town with a magnificent cathedral, is about 20 minutes north-east and makes an easy half-day trip. For beaches, head south-west to Skanör and Falsterbo, around 35 minutes away, where long stretches of sand and a lively harbour draw the crowds in summer.

Ystad, about 50 minutes east along the south coast, is a pretty town of half-timbered houses and cobbled streets, and the setting for the Wallander novels. You can also cross the Öresund Bridge to Copenhagen in around 40 minutes, where a toll applies. Roads in Skåne are generally flat and well signed, but coastal routes get busy in summer, so allow extra time.
