KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Stavanger

  • Opting for car hire in Stavanger rather than relying on public transport will free you from set schedules and routes and also prove invaluable when you want to get around the town outside of regular service hours. You can also reach more out of the way places in the wider area where the town is situated on the south-western Norwegian coast. The first place to head to by car is Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). The view from there over Lysefjord will remain in your memory for years. In the city centre itself, make sure you visit Stavanger Cathedral and Valberg Tower, to the north of the Market Square district. Then take yourself on a self-drive tour of the historic Gamle Stavanger old part of town.
  • The city is served by its own airport, so you can collect your car hire in Stavanger right there. You’ll be in the city centre after a short drive of 11km (just under 7 miles), as Stavanger Airport is technically in neighbouring Sola. Avis, Budget and Europcar operate out of the airport, along with plenty of others. They’re all in the P10 parking area, and you’ll be taken by free shuttle bus from the arrivals terminal.
  • For one of the smaller cities, the traffic can get pretty congested in Stavanger. At the same time it’s a very green city, with many public parks where people congregate during the day, so it pays to always be careful of pedestrians when you’re driving in the centre of town. You’ll also encounter plenty of runners in the morning around Lake Mosvatnet. Add to that a disproportionate number of cyclists and you’ll rightly infer that driving here is quite a sedate affair.
  • You’ll encounter a significant rush hour in the mornings between 08:00 and 09:00 and once again from around 16:00 to 17:30. This is mainly due to the city being a centre of oil production in Norway, so it has a sizeable industrial area that workers commute to and from each day. Busy intersections are the roundabout on the E39, and again where this road meets Route 509 Madlaveien. Route 44 can also experience traffic jams, especially at the roundabout where Kirkegardsveien meet it. Certain tunnels in the city can be congested too, especially the Ryfast Tunnel and Hundvagtunnelen.
  • Book your rental car in Stavanger at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size rental cars in Stavanger are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

Easy pick up although we just kind of got the keys and were wished good luck! :) took a little to find the car. But got a better vehicle than what I booked for no extra charge. Staff called to remind me to have the car back inside the drop off window or pay for an extra day, that was great. Note for Norway, if you rent for 7 days that means exactly 7 days to the minute or you pay for the next day. This remains my favorite car rental company and was happy to see that the Norway experience matched what I’ve had in the US.

Hertz claimed that we had damaged the car (scratch on rear fender). We had extensively photographed the car prior to and immediately following return of the vehicle, and could show that the alleged damage was not on the car at the time we returned it. We sent Hertz a photo to prove this and Hertz office then came back with two new claims of minor damage in different locations to the original claim, using our photo as a basis for this new claim! They are charging us over $500 for this damage as they claim the car was inoperable due to these scratches! Quite unbelievable.

The car was nice. Pickup at the airport in Stavanger was kind of slow, but relatively smooth. Did not like the process of having to go through Hertz rental agreement to have to charge the car every time. Instructions at pickup were pretty poor about Norway's autopass system with tolls, parking, etc. And extremely poor instructions at drop off. Had to hunt through a parking garage for a self service kiosk with no clear instructions on where to leave the car.
