Bergen car hires from £20/day

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.

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.
