If you plan on simply staying in the local Alesund area, then you may be happy to hire an economy or compact car; these will offer you easy navigation of the town and parking in the city. If you would like to explore the archipelago and further from the city, then you may want to consider hiring an SUV or a 4x4 vehicle, as the roads tend to be a little wilder. An SUV is a good option if you travel in winter, as it is better suited for adapting to snow and bad weather.
