About Renting a Car at Sundsvall Airport

Sundsvall-Timrå Airport (SDL) is located approximately 20 km north of Sundsvall and has 7 car rental companies directly in the terminal – one of the best selections in northern Sweden. Fly in and drive straight toward the High Coast (75 km), Östersund (270 km), or Härnösand (50 km). The airport is situated in Timrå municipality and is easily reached via E14.

Sundsvall center is about 20 minutes south and Härnösand is reached in 45 minutes via E4 north along the High Coast's dramatic coastline. Book your car in advance online – with 7 rental companies there's plenty of choice, but popular vehicle classes sell out quickly during peak season. Choose a car with winter tires if you're traveling November–April, as E14 toward Östersund can be snowy and slippery.
