Many cars heading towards Stockholm. If you want to take a route other than to Stockholm, it is very hard to find a ride.rating: 2/5, wait: 40 min, ride: 124 km ↖

Highly recommending this spot. Everyone goes towards Stockholm from this roundabout and there’s easily time and room to stop your car. It’s 9 o’clock so there’s lots of work traffic.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 70 km ↓

Waited pretty long with no shade -sunny day- but got a ride all the way to Göteborg! I was going to Stockholm and could have gone to Gävle with my ride, but changed my plans to going to Göteborg when I found out he could drive me all the way there :)Many people heading South. If you have the guts to ask for a ride and don't mind being turned down, you'll probably get a ride sooner. Also a truck rest area so long ride garanteed if you want to go with a truck.

Much traffic going north (Sweden, Denmark, Norway). I was going back to Norway, asked a Norwegian driver, but his car was full. Then after 10 minutes a girl with a small dog came to me and asked me "Hi, What is your story?". Hehe then she asked me if I had a driving licence and if I drank alcohol that day. So she was going to Gøteborg and then to Stockholm. She asked me if I would like to join her and help her driving to Copenhagen. So I became her driver that day and did it to Copenhagen.At that gas station you should even use "Oslo" sign :))) it is what I exactly did - I had 3 signs, i.e. Bremen, Hamburg, Oslo.

This spot is very reliable to provide long rides towards Göteborg/Oslo when you're trying to go towards Stockholm, and the other way around. Waiting usually pays off though ;-)rating: 5/5, wait: 300 min, ride: 521 km ↗

I was hitchhiking in the night and guys picked me up at 22:00. They drove me for 30 km. it’s probably one of the best spots on the way to the South and Stockholm. Cars have to slow down in this part of the road so they notice you every time.rating: 4/5, wait: 40 min

Oh damn was I lucky! I was going with a sign to Karlstad along the road and a van instantly stopped by. Took me almost directly to Stockholm! The place is overall pretty nice, a lot of space to pull over for the whole road + a bus stop. You will definitely get a ride hererating: 5/5, wait: 0 min, ride: 272 km →

Arrived here in early August, on a Friday 20.00. tried for two hours then. No luck, low but reliable frequency. Mostly Swedes, and danish plus Germans. Went camping and tried in the morning. I hiked 2km away because of the highway noise, on the east side. Asking a farmer for a bed or barn crossed my mind. Crossing west is possible, there's an underpass if you go a little north.Glumslöv 9AM Saturday.
30min for offer to Snapparp. in the meantime I got 2x Stockholm and 1 offer to Helsingborg. I talked to people at the gas station, but carried a sign saying "Norr på E6". Toilets are free and accessible until midnight I was told.

Bad place. Bridge over the highway. End up there cause my previous car was going to Stockholm and me to gotenborg. But After 15 minutes (18pm) someone stop. Try to not get stuck there.rating: 3/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 52 km ↑

Early bird caught an enormous worm, got a ride not to Tornio or Haparanda but to GÄVLE 2 hours north of STOCKHOLM. Traffic lights just before this bus stop and a Shell gas station aswell. There is a bus from Oulu that stops at this bus station, highly recommend. A local suggested skipping Kemi and taking a ride all the way to Tornio, because many travel to Ikea Haparanda with an empty car and Kemi is nit very friendly for hitchhiking.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 826 km ↙

After 15-20 minutes got a ride from a guy who was going to Stockholm. But usually people here are going north toward Hirtshals or locals.rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 461 km ↗

Very good spot towards Stockholm. Got a ride from a first guy I asked on a Sunday morning 2.7.2023. there is also a small chapel that is open the whole night, good to sleep in, especially if it's raining.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 75 km ↗

Great place to ask people directly but thumbing at the exit with a sign saying "NORTH" also worked for me. Got a ride to Sillekrog at 9pm despite the low traffic. If you're not stopping at Stockholm, I think it might be better taking rides to Sillekrog and trying to continue past Stockholm from there rather than go in to the city itself and try from there. Not sure though.rating: 4/5, wait: 45 min

For Sweden this is a very good spot. Lots of truck drivers that you can ask directly. They are usually very friendly and I shared coffee with them.Got a long distance ride almost all the way to Stockholm! Just be patient as there might be times with barely any traffic - have a snack and wait for the trucks
