With car hire in the Baltic Sea region, you’ll see that this is a great way to see the region, giving you a sense of freedom without having to rely on train and bus schedules to get around.

Driving between major cities such as Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn make for a fantastic road trip, with plenty to admire on the way.

The Baltic Sea region includes countries like Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, and parts of Germany. Most have well-maintained roads and highways, especially in urban areas and major routes. However, rural roads might be narrower and less developed, so pay attention to road conditions and speed limits. Here, cars drive on the right-hand side of the road, with European roads signs being fairly standardised across the region. Note that some countries, like Sweden, have toll roads, while others might have road usage fees. It's a good idea to research and plan for these potential costs before you travel.

For Baltic Sea car hire, the age requirement can vary by country and rental agency. In most countries around the Baltic Sea, the minimum age to hire a car is typically 21 or 25 years old. Some rental companies might allow drivers as young as 18, but this often comes with higher fees or additional restrictions. For young drivers, it’s likely a Young Driver Surcharge will be included in your price. For UK citizens, you’ll need a valid driving licence, as well as a form of identification, such as your passport and a credit card, to finalise your rental agreement.
