To rent a car in Norway, you need an international driver's license, bank card and of course paid insurance. By the age of the driver, there are no particular nagging - he must be at least 19 years old. But the driving experience should be at least a year. True, in some cases, an additional age fee is charged for a driver from 19 to 24 years old. For a certain category of cars there is an age limit of 25 years.
Car rental in Norway usually includes:
- Unlimited mileage;
- Theft insurance;
- Damage insurance.
In addition, you can pay for super insurance, ski rack, child seat, navigator. But as collateral, a mind-boggling amount can be blocked on your card - up to 1000 euros! Of course, the money will be returned to you after you give the car back.
Peculiarities of traveling in Norway
But this is not all the surprises prepared by the northern country. It will be possible to drive here along the picturesque routes only in summer. In winter, it is uncomfortable to ride around the country, due to the fact that it is dark beyond the Arctic Circle. In addition, some mountain roads may be closed. Many hotels and campgrounds do not work, the country is cold and windy. However, this does not mean that you do not need to travel to Norway in winter, but it is more rational to start a road trip in summer.
It is better to develop a roundabout route for such a voyage. After all, renting a car in one city, and then returning it in another will be much more expensive, and if you leave the car in a neighboring country, the rates will not please at all. The surcharges within the country will amount to 400 euros, and, say, if you give a car in Finland, then already 700 euros.
But this is a fabulous country, sung by the Vikings, which was kept from evil spirits by trolls, and here travelers will remember a wonderful childhood. There are so many clean bays, sheer cliffs, fjords, which were "inherited" by the Ice Age.
Be sure to stop by Alesund, which is considered the most beautiful city in Norway. This city is located on islands. It invariably attracts tourists with its beautiful bridges and tunnels, cozy, albeit small houses, which are reflected in the calm surface of the sea, and an unusually comfortable climate. In addition, Ålesund is good because of its natural beauty, and it is from this city that many excursions to the fjords start. After all, this is a natural landmark of its own kind, although it is so harmoniously complemented and carefully protected by man. How here, on this amazing land, not to believe in gnomes, trolls, goblins and other fabulous creatures that we know from children's books.
