We are planning a pre-Scandinavian RS tour to Pitea via Lulea. Any advise on renting a car at the Lulea airport? What are the driving conditions in Sweden...user friendly? Also, tips on where to stay in Pitea for 2 nights as well as historic sites and museums. My husbands father and grandfather were born in Pitea, so we are interesting getting out in the country to get an overview of this special area. We'd appreciate any information. Thank you.

Any advise on renting a car at the Luleå airport?
It's a short trip by bus, which sounds better than having a rental car sitting in a hotel car park costing money. If you want to explore the surroundings, rent a car for a day. Just note that this part of Sweden isn't the most popular for tourist, so if you want an automatic gearbox, you should probably prebook a car.

Depends on when you are going, could be excellent, could be horrible
