    You're probably right that they shouldn't drive, but this answer is an interesting reminder of US vs European attitudes towards driving. This trip is equivalent to driving from Chicago to Disneyland and that's something that Americans would accept for a big family vacation. Commented Feb 6, 2023 at 7:49

    The downside of this approach is they won't have the car when they get there. Depending on what they plan to do when they get there and the nature of their medical issues that may or may not be a problem. Commented Feb 6, 2023 at 15:42

    "Hop onto.. direct sleeper train". That is very optimistic. The trains leaving from Hamburg to Stockholm require changes. Furthermore, there is a Stockholm-Hamburg night train, but what about seat reservations? I can say with certainty that it is not a matter of just "hopping on the next direct train" when travelling from Hamburg, through Denmark, to Sweden and up to Stockholm. Commented Feb 8, 2023 at 6:24
