Frequently Asked Questions about Car Rental in Bergen airport

When it comes to car rental costs, Bergen airport is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Bergen airport during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Bergen airport.

There are several insurance tiers available. The various insurance categories in Bergen airport are described as follows:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It restricts the customer's liability throughout the rental period and establishes the maximum sum that the customer will be required to pay in the event of damages.
  • Theft Protection (TP) - If your automobile is stolen, this waiver reduces your liability to the vehicle's deductible/excess amount (proof required are a police report and the car keys). TP is typically included in the cost of renting a car.
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) - often referred to as Supplemental Liability Insurance, Extended Protection, Liability Protection, etc., covers both material and intangible losses caused to other people's vehicles, property, and even medical costs.

Unlimited third-party liability insurance is required in Bergen airport and is automatically bundled into the cost of all car rentals. Don't forget to carry evidence of insurance if you are traveling with your own vehicle.

The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Bergen airport:

Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Fiat 500 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Bergen airport. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 12$.

Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.

According to the rental policies of all car rental agencies, you can book the vehicle's essential features, but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be involved in an accident, be held by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher will have a code that specifies the major parameters (e.g. CDAR). The following table provides code decoding:

A credit card is required by almost all rental companies. Cards that are electronic, virtual, or debit may not be accepted. If you acquire complete insurance coverage straight from the rental company's office, certain firms may, as an exception, take a debit card.
