Bergen is best suited for small to medium-sized vehicles such as coupes, sedans, compacts, and mid-sized SUVs. This is because many of the streets in Bergen are on the narrower side. Having a smaller car is also an advantage when it comes to parking, as many of the parking spaces will be on the smaller side. Hatchbacks are one of the more common choices for Norwegian drivers, meaning it is also something to keep in mind.
Built-up areas and residential areas in Bergen typically feature speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph), while in less populated areas they go up to 80 km/h (50 mph). Additionally, on major motorways the speed limit goes up to 110 km/h (68 mph).
Parking is a very simple affair in Bergen, thanks to the abundant parking spaces in the town. Streetside parking, parking garages, and lots are all readily available for drivers. In general, streetside parking is the most common choice, especially in residential areas. In the central business district, however, parking garages reign supreme and are often the best choice.

Most car hire providers in Bergen offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Bergen, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.
One way you can improve your experiences driving a cheap Bergen car hire is by including some helpful extras. A sat-nav system can be a great asset for getting around unfamiliar roads in bad weather, and an additional driver is an excellent back-up in case you’re injured or feeling under the weather. Check to see whether your provider has child seats, if you decide to bring the kids, instead of carrying your own, which can be a huge inconvenience.
One of the most direct road trips from Bergen to Stavanger travels over 200 km (125 miles) south via E39. On the way, you’ll encounter a few bridges, tunnels and landmarks like the Troldhaugen Museum whose position offers great views of alpine landscape along the way. The final section takes you across islands and fjords on approach to the outskirts of Stavanger, then you follow the 442 highway into the city centre.

They were unable to give us the size car I had reserved and it was hard to find the drop-off point at Oslo Airport. That may not be Hertz's fault!4.4 Mediocre

Pros:
AVIS in Bergen was extremely helpful. Due to the bicycle race we could not return the car as planned. The local AVIS people were very accommodating in agreeing to pick up the car and allowing us to catch our flight back to Stockholm. They could not have been more helpful. The poor rating is solely due to the excessive one-way fees and the failure to explain these to us.Cons:
Nobody unexplained costs for a one-way rental and fact that they could change this fee at their discretion. The Bergen AVIS office increased the one-way fee by 3x (from 4000 SEK to 12000 SEK) without any notice that they were doing that. We did not discover this until we returned from our trip and I checked our credit card statement. The total cost of the 3-day rental was over $2300.00. We feel cheated and taken advantage of and will likely not rent from AVIS again! When I called AVIS customer service I was told there was nothing that could be done....in essence it was our fault for not asking in advance. extremely disappointed.8.8 Very Good

Jul 2017
Pros:
The car itself was fine.Cons:
When I arrived in Bergen, Norway, to get the car, I was charged an additional $167 for "mandatory" insurance, despite the fact that I had selected insurance when I made the original rental agreement. I agreed only because I could not rent the car without agreeing, and my itinerary depended on having a car from that day. Immediately after returning to the US, I researched the "mandatory" insurance, but even Avis was unable to tell me. I am currently in a dispute with Avis through my credit card company. I also received an additional charge of $25.43 with no explanation. When I requested on, Avis sent documents in Norwegian rather than sending docs in a language I can understand.10.0 Wonderful

Sept 2017
Cons:
The address given to us to return the car was incorrect and had us show up at a location that was incorrect. When we dropped the car off at the correct location (which took a while to find), there was a sign on the door telling us to drop the keys off in another location. The other location took us over 30 minutes to find and involved us carrying around all of our luggage all over the street in the rain. It was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had renting a car. I tried calling the 1800 number multiple times and was never able to be connected to someone who could help. I will not be renting from Avis or budget again.10.0 Wonderful

Some Bergen car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Bergen.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Bergen car hire.
