Larger vehicles such as estate cars and intermediate SUVs have the advantages of increased passenger and storage capacity, which are great for long roadtrips. With a small economy car or compact you have less of both, but these vehicles have the advantages of affordability and manoeuvrability.

6.4 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
No line when picking up the vehicle, and staff at the desk were efficient.Cons:
The day after I parked the car in the garage and returned it after hours in exactly the same condition that I'd found it, I received an email ordering me to fill out an accident report for a 5cm long scratch on the rear bumper...that wasn't there during my rental. In the photos that they sent the "damage" couldn't even be seen on the overall shot of the back of the car, so I'm not convinced that everything matched up here. To give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe someone backed into the car in the tiny clearance of the garage, who knows. My insurance covers damage, but no one wants the hassle of filing a claim while on vacation, and this one in particular seems petty and opportunistic. I wouldn't recommend renting here.8.0 Very Good
Jun 2017
Pros:
The car. Very comfortable, fun to drive, great featuresCons:
Returning the car after hours was very confusing. We didn't have a code for the garage and had to wait until someone else came along with the code. Also the self serve kiosk was behind a gate so we couldn't access it. The after hours phone number was no help either.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Friendly staff, ease of check out and return.6.0 Okay
Oct 2016
Pros:
The car rental itself was great!Cons:
I showed up to the location I chose from the map (Gothenburg central station) however somehow my reservation had been made for the airport, which I didn't check at the time. So I had to get a taxi to the airport at 11pm and called the hertz employee to stay past her hours.4.0 Mediocre

Some Gothenburg car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Gothenburg.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Gothenburg car hire.
