Driving a motorhome in Sweden

Motorways, tolls and vignettes

What a vignette is: in some European countries you buy a permit before using the motorways, now often digital and linked to the number plate, valid for a set period instead of paying at toll booths.

Motorways are free and no vignette is needed.

In Stockholm and Gothenburg, on weekdays, a congestion tax (trängselskatt) is read by cameras, also for foreign number plates: the invoice is sent to your home via EPASS24.

You pay for the Øresund bridge (to Denmark), the Svinesund bridge (to Norway) and the Motala and Sundsvall bridges.

Environmental sticker, ZTL and low emission zones

There is no sticker. Environmental zones (miljözoner) mainly concern heavy vehicles; for cars a stricter zone applies only to one street in central Stockholm (Hornsgatan).

Low emission zones in our data

One zone: Miljözon Hornsgatan.

Useful rules for motorhome travellers

Lights must be on during the day as well, all year round.

From 1 December to 31 March, in winter conditions, you need winter tyres.

The right to roam (allemansrätten) does not apply to vehicles: with a motorhome you stop where parking is allowed, without leaving the roads.
