About Renting a Car at Center

Karlshamn center in Blekinge offers two car rental companies for those wanting to explore the south coast, Listerland, or take the ferry to Klaipeda in Lithuania. The town is known for its charm and beautiful wooden house environment around Vinö Island and Asarum. Karlskrona is reached in 45 minutes east via E22.

Karlshamn center lies by the Mie River and Karlshamn Fjord with the port as a hub for both cargo and passengers. Sölvesborg is 20 km west and Ronneby 30 km east along the coast. Stenshuvud National Park on Österlen is reached in just over an hour south.

Rent a car in Karlshamn if you arrive on the Baltic Link ferry from Klaipeda and want to continue traveling north without changing transport. Listerland's narrow coastal roads are most beautiful by car – plan a day trip south toward Hällevik and Nogersund. Book in advance during the Baltic Sea Festival in July when car availability decreases.

Is there a ferry from Karlshamn to the continent? Yes, Stena Line operates the Karlshamn–Klaipeda route in Lithuania with departures several times a week. How far is it from Karlshamn to Karlskrona?

It's approximately 50 km east via E22, about 45 minutes' drive. Can I pick up a car in Karlshamn and drop it off in Malmö? That depends on the rental company – check if one-way rental to Malmö (approximately 120 km) is possible and what it costs.

We compare prices from all major providers at Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
