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
- Standard rental cars in Stavanger are around 29% more expensive than other car types, on average
