Avesta City Car Hire

Avesta Krylbo is one of Dalarna's most important railway hubs where the Dalabanan and Bergslags railway lines meet, perfect for combining trains from Stockholm (2 hours) with a rental car heading north. Two rental companies are located at or near the station. From here, you can reach Avesta center in 5 km (5 min) and Falun in 55 km (40 min).

Krylbo is actually part of the Avesta urban area and the station is surrounded by industrial landscape connected to the steel industry. The Dalälven river flows 2 km to the west and offers nature experiences near the station. The station building from the early 1900s is a fine example of railway architecture from the industrial era.

When you arrive on SJ's Dalabanan train from Stockholm, book your rental car directly at the station for a smooth transition without waiting time. Drive Route 68 southward towards Sala and Västerås if you want to avoid E16 traffic during rush hour. Plan your return journey by train and leave the car in Krylbo – it saves both time and money compared to driving all the way back to Stockholm.
