KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bergen

  • It is highly advised that travelers rent a car during their time in Bergen simply so they can take advantage of the extra mobility. With a car it is easy to traverse the gorgeous Norwegian countryside and is also much cheaper than paying to join a tour. For instance, say you want to see some of Norway’s famed fjords, Hardangerfjord is one great option as it is just 102 km (63.3 miles) away from the city.
  • Visitors to Bergen who are arriving by air and are flying into Bergen Airport will find the hire car offices located in the main terminal’s arrivals area. hire car companies operating here include Budget, Europcar, and Sixt, among others.
  • If you are visiting Bergen during the winter months, make sure you are prepared for snowy roads. Though the streets and roads are very well maintained in Bergen, the roads can still get snowed over during inclimate weather. Drivers are recommended to check the weather conditions ahead of time before embarking on any long drives and to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather if there is snow in the forecast.
  • Nobody loves rush hour but, fortunately for drivers in Bergen, there isn’t much congestion to worry about here. The limited rush hour in Bergen typically runs from 6:30 a.m. and finishes up at around 9:00 a.m. The afternoon rush hour starts up a bit earlier than in most cities at 2:30 p.m. but it also finishes up early, with rush hour normally cooling down by around 4:30 p.m.
  • Book your rental car in Bergen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Bergen are around 41% cheaper than other car types, on average

Try to avoid self service kiosk where possible and just align your pick up to times the offices are open if at all possible. Hybrid car travel worked out well for us - half tank of gas went a long way. Tolls and ferry costs are accumulated and then charged to you later which worked out fine for us.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Note that anyone renting a Hertz electric car should be advised about relevant recharging apps, which we were not. Seek very clear and comprehensive information and directions to pickup location
AndyJul 2023
Get ready for lots and lots of tunnels. Stick to the main roads. Use the parking garages in Bergen and download the easy park app first.

They gave away my vehicle and did not provide me with a refund. I’d like to receive a refund from Kayak. How can you be charged for a service you didn’t receive? It’s theft!

This rental was a horrible experience from the start. Kayak, unbeknownst to me, outsourced the rental to a third-party, carrentals.com, which prohibited me from getting customer service assistance from either Hertz or Kayak. The Hertz location in Bergen did not answer the phone following repeated calls during their business hours prior to picking up the vehicle -- I wanted to confirm they would have a child seat available, as I rented and paid for, to keep my child safe (calling to confirm availability is advised by Hertz). The associate in Bergen was rude and unhelpful and created a new reservation due to an administrative issue (on Hertz's end) with my husband's completely valid driver license. The night before we were scheduled to return out car, I realized the updated reservation was booked for return at the wrong airport, one almost 2 hours away. I had already booked and paid a hefty one-way rental fee. The Hertz location where I was intended to return the reservation was very helpful and noted that the one-way fee is the same for both locations, but the Bergen location that had to change my reservation said the difference was 5000 NOK. I will never rent a car with Hertz again, and am extremely disappointed at how negative this experience was.

Hertz should change their recharging policy for electric vehicles. We were required to recharge the car to 80% (received it at 100%). This is a reasonable policy, but I would have much preferred Hertz to offer to recharge the car for us and charge us a small premium on the electricity so we could have saved the 60 minutes looking for a fast charger and charging before drop off. This is my only complaint. I would definitely rent an EV again it was both economical and environmentally friendly. However, I encourage all car rental agencies to change their recharging policy to make it easier on the end customer. Thank you!

Overall experience was fine. The self serve kiosk did not work so we had to wait for employees to open the office to get our vehicle. The employees were helpful. Car was fine, a bit dirty but efficient and met our needs. Drop off was fast and easy. Overall, process went well and we would consider Hertz again.

The contactless pickup was simply a disaster … the code was not given thru email. We were in the rain trying to get our key from the lock box BUT nothing worked. The phone # were not working and we were there in the rain for 60 mins when we finally got thru to someone to help and it was still difficult then … I spent over $30 CAD in calls to get the key Worse experience ever! Almost ruined the start of our vacation … hertz needs to fix this process in Norway because for international renters the process does not work When we dropped of the car the office was open and we told him the issues we had at pickup and he said yea that has happened before and that made me more upset - you knew it does not work and yet you still make your clients go thru this Completely unprofessional! Worse experience ever !!

We got charged over $1000 US dollars for minor scratch marks that we probably didn’t even charge. It’s pure robbery to charge us for scratches on the inside floor by the door. Who looks there and takes pictures. And the tire rims? We didn’t hit anything. I am floored a company will flat out be a crook and charge $1000 for scratches we didn’t cause. Unreal. And they won’t communicate with us. Such poor service.

Great car for a great price. Only tricky part was finding the rental counter (we went all the way to the garage where the other companies are, only to have to walk back into the airport). Some direction in an email about where to find the counter would have been great, since it isn't well marked in the airport.
