I would suggest leasing a car. Check out http://www.renaultusa.com
I leased for 5 weeks in May/June. The total bill was around $800. That's around $22 per day. And it only goes down the longer you stay.
Pros:
$0 dedutible insurance - walk away from accidents
18 years old to drive - not 25
unlimited number of drivers
brand new car every time (Mine didn't even have 100m on it when I got it)
unlimited km - yes that's right. (I put 10,000 km on my rental)
Cons:
Closest pickup to Scandinavia is Amsterdam or Frankfurt
Must be there for a minimum of 17 days.
I would recommend this to anyone planning a vacation to Europe. And if you don't like Renaults, you can do it with Peugeot and Citroen. All cars get registered in France. This deal exists because of a loophole in French tax laws. I think they sell the car used after you leave, and whoever buys it can get it tax free. But just because it is registered in France doesn't mean that you have to pick it up there or drop it off there. Perfect situation.
