Should I hire a car in Norway with Zest Car Rental?
Hiring a car in Norway offers you the freedom of exploring parts of the country only accessible by car. With less than five million people visiting each year, Norway really is a country to visit sooner rather than later. Fly to Trondheim and you can easily reach the remote and sparsely populated north of the country. Here you will have your best chance to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis.
Besides its natural beauty, Norway is home to fantastic museums and art galleries such as Oslo’s Nasjonalgalleriet. You can see Edvard Munch’s The Scream there, amongst other things. You’ll find museums dedicated to Norwegian culture and Norse mythology, the Vikings, and much more. The cities are an eclectic mix of old timber buildings and modern, contemporary masterpieces in-keeping with the tradition of sleek Scandinavian design.

Norway’s fjords
Think Norway, think fjords. With over 1,100 to choose from, it can be tricky to know where to start. Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, and Aurlandsfjord are amongst the most famous and therefore most visited. There are so many other wonderful fjords to choose from, particularly around Stavanger where you’ll find the spectacular Lysefjord.
Hiring a car in Norway
Hiring a car in Norway is the ultimate way to explore this beautiful Nordic landscape. Traffic on the roads is generally light and calm. Distances between locations can be bigger than you expect so allow plenty of time to travel between adventures. Check out our Travel Guide!
Driving in Norway
In general, the speed limit when driving around built up areas and towns is 50km/h. Much like the UK however, in urban and residential areas it can drop to 30km/h. On dual carriageways and motorways the speed limit can go as high as 110km/h.
Norway's mountainous landscape can provide challenges to driving found in few other places. For example when driving downhill for extended periods of time, your brakes can begin to overheat from overuse. To prevent this, drive in lower gears to allow the brakes to cool. For more information on driving in Norway, check out our driving guide.

Oslo Airport – Filled with wonderful museums and surrounded by glorious forests and lakes, Oslo really is a fantastic city to visit. History buffs are well catered for at the Radhouse where you can learn about Norwegian history and mythology - it’s also where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year on December 10th. The Vikingskipshuset is home to 3 excavated Viking longboats and is a great place to spend a few hours. Fans of opera and ballet will find the new Operahuset more than a match for any foreign rival. Its striking design provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of culture.
Stavanger Airport – This attractive port is the 3rd largest city in the country. It is the perfect starting point to explore the southern fjords such as Lysefjord. There’s a huge amount of modern history to absorb as well including a number of World War II sites which serve as a reminder of the Nazi occupation.
Trondheim Airport – Laidback Trondheim is the perfect place to start your break. Particularly if you’re here for the Northern Lights or looking to explore the north. If you want to get to know the city, start at Bakklandet. Its cobbled streets and picturesque waterfront are typically Scandinavian and filled with cafés. Trondheim is home to some truly wonderful architecture and the striking cathedral wouldn’t look out of place in Paris or Rome.
Bergen Airport – Perhaps the prettiest urban area in Norway, Bergen is home to the gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen. Its timbered alleys a reminder of the town’s once thriving fishing industry. Surrounded by lakes, mountains, and forests, Bergen has much to offer from an outdoors point of view whilst its flourishing restaurant and café scene offers ample rewards after a hard day’s hike.
