One of the most northern countries in the world, Norway has an amazing and unique landscape of mountains, glaciers and spectacular coastlines.

The original home of the Vikings, Norway is now a tranquil and laid back nation, with vast expanses of unspoilt nature ready to be explored.

With excellent roads linking cities and attractions, you will be able to see it all with the aid of your rental car. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large rental car fleet, so finding a car rental in Norway is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Norway with a Rental Car

Oslo is the capital of Norway, and also the centre for most of the economy and education in the country. The city is a mixture of old and new with modern architecture found alongside exquisite examples of 18th and 19th century buildings. Drive your hire car to the Bygdov Peninsula, just outside the city, where you will find a wide range of museums. To find out a little about the nation, visit the Museum of Cultural History, an outdoor museum with many replicas of early settlements. Also check out the Viking Ship Museum which houses 3 of the best preserved Viking ships in existence and offers a great insight into the early days of Scandinavia also.

The main attraction for visitors to Norway though, is the vast natural beauty that is found across most of the country. Jump in your hire car and head west of Oslo towards the town of Hordaland where you will find the Voringsfossen Waterfall, the largest in Norway. At over 180 metres tall, it is a spectacular sight and highly recommended. Drive your rental car north of Hordaland and visit Jostedal Glacier National Park, set around the largest glacier in continental Europe. Stop off at Briksdal Glacier, which is an arm of the larger ice mass, and here you can see the magnificent formation up close.

Further north of Briksdal Glacier is Trollstigen Mountain Road, a magnificent scenic route which winds its way up to towards the summit of the mountains. Drive your hire car up the road, while taking in the spectacular views along the way, before reaching the parking area near the peak. From here you can walk to a lookout area, offering amazing panoramic views of the mountains and valleys below. With such an abundance of dramatic natural beauty your holiday in Norway will lead you to visit places unlike anywhere else in the world. From the famous fjords along the coast, to the vast plains of the east, your rental car will take you to places you have only seen on postcards.
