When it comes down to making your Västerås car hire choice, seasonality makes a big difference. In summer, you can hire pretty much any vehicle that suits your purposes, but in winter, there are some extra considerations. It's not necessary to get an all-wheel drive vehicle, as the roads are well maintained. A front-wheel-drive car is the best choice, as these handle better on icy roads than rear-wheel-drive cars. Also, remember that it's mandatory to have your headlights on at all times, even during the day.
