Good to know
Check each company's age requirements before booking your car hire in Norway. Rules can vary, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Bodo car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Rules change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest approach.
You'll need to hand over a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
If you're unfamiliar with driving in Norway, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Norway is 0.02%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
You'll be using the Norwegian krone (NOK) on your trip here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, have some cash handy for minor purchases.
