KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Haugesund
- By booking car hire in Haugesund, you'll have the beauty of Norway's landscape at your fingertips. You'll even (usually) be able to take your hire car onto car ferries, which can make it much easier to get your luggage or other belongings around. While Norway does have a good public transport system in the cities, it isn't as frequent and widespread in more rural areas. So if you have plans for road and day trips, having a car will certainly come in handy. The stunning Folgefonna National Park, for example, is only around two hours away by car, and you can drive to the city of Bergen in around three hours.
- You'll find the Haugesund car hire desks at Haugesund Airport Karmøy (HAU) in the Arrivals Hall. Available companies include Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt. They usually have their vehicles on-site, just a short walk from the terminal. Some, such as Avis, allow you to drop off your car after hours using the key drop box. Alternatively, if you're taking a road trip and leaving Norway via a different airport, most offer one-way rentals for an additional fee.
- When using car hire in Haugesund, make sure you don't get hit with unexpected charges when you get back home. If you plan on travelling into and out of the city, you will encounter toll roads and ferry fees. It's common for hire cars to be equipped with AutoPASS for toll roads and ferries. These handy chips will scan automatically as you enter the ferry, so you don't need to worry about paying in advance, and the fee will simply be added to your overall cost. However, because you aren't being charged as you go, it's a good idea to keep track of your ferry and toll fees yourself.
- Be prepared for snowy and icy conditions if you plan on booking Haugesund car hire services in winter. It's required by law between the 1st of November and Easter. If you're visiting outside this period, let your car hire provider know where you plan on travelling, and they can let you know if you'll need winter tyres. It's not uncommon to need them earlier or later in the year, but they may not be necessary if you're sticking close to Haugesund as it's further south. The roads are usually well-maintained but take precautions and check the most up-to-date information for your route. Closures can be necessary.
- Book your rental car in Haugesund at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Haugesund are around 17% more expensive than other car types, on average
