Swedish law prevents motor vehicles from traveling on public land in a natural environment. This means wild/free camping in a motorhome is generally prohibited.
The country has over 400 campsites and these start at around 190 Swedish Krona ($19 USD) per night.
Sweden also has numerous rest stops which may allow you to stay for a night. Check the signposts or visit an information center for regulations regarding a specific area.
All drivers must have a current and full driver’s license to rent a vehicle. If your license is from the UK it must entitle you to drive a category B vehicle up to 3500kg and for certain larger models, a category C is required.
Foreign licenses are acceptable if they are in English or written with Latin characters. However, if your license is issued outside the EU an International Driving Permit (IDP) is also recommended.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
