KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ålesund

  • Booking a car hire in Alesund gives you an advantage over using the public transport in the local area, not only because it gives you the freedom to go exactly where you want to, but also the fact that you can go whenever you want and don’t have to follow the public transport timetables. With an area of about 99 km squared to explore, you can take your Alesund car hire and explore the archipelago, visiting sites such as Mount Aksla and Atlantic Sea Park.
  • You can find a few hire car companies at Alesund Vigra Airport (AES), including Hertz, Eurostar and Sixt. The opening hours of the different companies vary, so we recommend that you investigate this before booking, to make sure that you can collect your vehicle upon arrival. They are mostly open throughout the day Monday to Friday, but times may change on the weekend. You can find their branches within the main terminal building.
  • When driving in the town of Alesund, you will need to drive on the right-hand side of the road and be aware that you cannot turn right at a red light. In general, the drivers of Norway are patient and calm, and we encourage you to adopt this manner during your visit, to make the most of your driving experience. It is typical to jaywalk in Alesund, and the pedestrians' eyesight may be impaired by wearing hats and hoods due to the weather, so take care when using your car hire in Alesund.
  • The weather can make driving your car hire in Alesund more difficult, as it is situated on the western shore of Norway and is prone to receiving strong winds, rain and snow. Visibility can be reduced and the roads can be slippery, so we recommend that you take care and check that your care hire in Alesund has all of the required safety features, such as snow tyres and tyre studs. Rush hour is when the city has its most traffic, and it is generally from 08:00 to 09:00 and then 17:00 to 18:00.
  • Book your rental car in Ålesund at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

    Alesund Parking is a company that offers car parks across the town, with the vast majority of them being outdoor car parks.

The price can vary from kr 15 ($A 2) to kr 150 (A$ 20) per hour, and some are free on Saturdays.
