Car hire Norway

Norway is a magical country cut by deep fjords and snow-capped mountains. It attracts lovers of architecture, museums and the outdoors, especially during the summer when daylight is all but continuous. Hikers and skiers are at home here. The best way to enjoy all that Norway has to offer is with the mobility that a cheap Norway hire car affords.

The landscape of Norway was born in the Ice Age, when glaciers cut deep valleys and fjords from an already mountainous countryside. The result is jagged cliffs, inlets and an overall beautiful outdoor environment. The highest peak, Jutunheimen, sits in the national park by the same name and provides skiers with a veritable Alpine experience.

There are many cities worthy of visitors here, and a Norway rental car is of critical importance for anyone who hopes to visit more than one. Tromsø is a city of culture, from its museums and street festivals to its colourful pubs. Trondheim is the former capital and boasts a prominent cathedral, while Sandefjord is known for its strong Viking roots.

Today's foremost city is Oslo, the oldest capital in the Scandinavian region. It has stood here for 1,000 years and boasts an extensive collection of haughty government buildings, museums and the eerie Akershus Fortress with its medieval dungeons. Oslo is also within reach of remote forest trails and skiing slopes.

For a quick survey of the countryside, tourists can book chartered boat tours on the fjords between Oslo and Bergen. Shopping and dining options are concentrated in Oslo, where prices are surprisingly high. The payoff is the opportunity to pick up a wealth of high-quality, name-brand merchandise.
