Rental companies at the airport

Car rental companies operating at Bergen airport (BGO) and where to find them. The airport is 19 km from Bergen. See also the airport guide for general information.

The airport offers a variety of car hire options, with offices strategically located near the check-in area. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, especially during the peak tourist season.

Requirements to Hire a Vehicle

To hire a car in Norway, the following conditions generally apply:

  • Driving licence: You must present a valid driving licence held for at least one year. Licences issued in countries outside the EU/EEA usually require an International Driving Permit.
  • Minimum age: Although this varies depending on the vehicle category and the company, the minimum age is usually 19 or 21. Drivers under 25 often have to pay an additional “young driver” surcharge.
  • Credit card: A credit card in the name of the main driver is required for the security deposit.
  • Identification: A valid passport or national identity document.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Norway

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Norway. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
