Can anyone give rec's on renting a car for about a week and half in August?
What rental company did you use? Who did you go through? AAA, Coscto? etc...
Thanks!
We went through Auto Europe and rented from Hertz. We went round-trip from Oslo Gardermoen Airport.
Same here. Auto Europe is so easy to use. I've been renting from them for years, and I've never had any problems. I also chose Hertz rental. I'm picking my car up in Oslo and returning it in Alesund.
mnannie was lucky in that she was able to rent a car and return it to the same place she picked it up. Unfortunately, I'm not able to do that, so I'm paying a very hefty surcharge, which is something to keep in mind when you rent it. If you can, drop it off at the same place. If not, count on paying a heavy fee.
And it doesn't matter who you rent it from. You'll pay the extra fee no matter what. So just something to keep in the back of your head.
And lastly, if by any chance you are picking up or dropping off in Alesund, when you enter that place name in Auto Europe, make sure you add an extra "a" so that the spelling is like this: Aalesund. I wasn't doing that, and it kept telling me there was no such place. It was driving me crazy until someone here told me to add the extra "a'". 😂
Thanks for the input. We are planning on picking up a car in Oslo, and leaving it in Stavanger when we fly out. Don't want to have to go all the way back.
