Car Rental Norway

During the winter months Norway becomes a haven for adrenalin junkies. Norway has a large number of skiing resorts and some of the highest amounts of snowfall during the winter season. However, driving on snow laden roads can be dangerous so it is advisable to enquire about snow chains when booking your rental car; these will improve grip and control considerably. Once again it is worth considering the larger rental cars in the Budget range to ensure that there is enough room for skiing or snowboarding equipment. So, before hitting the slopes consider a Budget rental car as the ideal way to transfer from airport to resort.

Norway's towns and villages can be located in isolated fjords and in some cases are a step back in time, with wooden buildings that transport the visitor back to medieval times. When staying in the countryside the cuisine is predominately red meat and fish; true hardy food for a hardy people used to braving the elements on a regular basis. That said, the summer months in Norway are temperate and give tourists the opportunity to see the wildlife and scenery in all its splendour. With swathes of virgin forest and pure mountain streams fed by glacial run-off there are plenty of activities in Norway; from fishing to swimming and hunting. The result is that your car rental trip will be filled with enjoyable experiences and unbelievable scenic beauty at every stage.

Driving in Norway requires special recognition of local motoring laws. For instance, Norway has the strictest drink driving laws in Europe with the permitted blood alcohol level being 0.1 mg/ml (in comparison in the UK it is 0.8 mg/ml). Offences such as speeding will normally incur heavy on the spot fines and seat belts must be worn at all times. In terms of speed limits urban roads carry a limit of 31 mph (50 km/h), open roads a limit of 49 mph (80 km/h) and motorways 55 mph (90 km/h). As with many Scandinavian countries it is also essential that headlights are used at all times. This information is for guidance only. You should comply with all local driving regulations.

Norway has many attractive buildings throughout the country although of particular interest should be the wooden churches constructed during the Middles Ages. With a strong tradition of wood carving and construction present in Norway; a result of the Viking period, Norwegian buildings are frequently built from wood rather than stone. Of these wooden churches Luster and Heddal are noteworthy and should certainly form an element of your trip when touring Norway in your rental car. The ornate carving and fascinating structural design is simply amazing. Norway is a brilliant country that truly has something to offer everyone, with friendly people and pristine, unspoilt scenery it is an ideal holiday destination.
