  • Grab your wheels from Sixt, Hertz or Avis. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Drammen car hire policy, whether with Sixt or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Simply select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes have to move vehicles between locations, which means you can bag some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Drammen.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but is something to think about. If you're in an accident, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying an expensive excess fee. Different Drammen car hire providers have varying insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the terms before booking.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Drammen by adding some handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to make wrong turns a thing of the past, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your car hire in Norway.

  • Add a car seat to your Drammen car hire booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest way to go.

  • Come prepared to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) and a second photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Norway.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 95kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.02% applies in Norway. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The Norwegian krone (NOK) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.

  • The language most commonly spoken in this country is Norwegian.
