KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Trondheim

  • Pick up a Trondheim car hire when you venture to the north of Oslo and give yourself the opportunity to explore both the city and its surroundings under your own steam. Once you’ve visited the sights of Trondheim itself, you could drive around 35 minutes along the coast of the Trondheim Fjord, on the E6, to the city of Stjordal, where you can visit artisanal craft and food markets. Once you have visited Stjordal, you could continue along the E6 for around 45 minutes to the town of Levanger, with its picturesque wooden houses.
  • The car hire companies at Trondheim Airport (TRD) are all housed in a separate building that is located on the opposite side of the road, to the right of the arrivals terminal. Here you can find car hire in Trondheim offered by providers such as Hertz, Avis and SIXT. Once you have completed your paperwork, the car hire agent will direct you to the parking bays, which are a short walk from the car hire offices.
  • When driving your Trondheim car hire, it is important to note that it is mandatory to drive with your dipped headlights on at all times, even on sunny days. Pedestrians and cyclists have the right of way both in towns and on other national roads, so it is necessary to slow down around pedestrian crossings or situations where there are cyclists on the road. Traffic in Trondheim is fairly light, and Norwegian drivers tend to stick to speed limits and the rules of the road, so driving doesn’t have to be stressful.
  • Trondheim doesn’t have the same traffic congestion as some other cities in Norway, but nevertheless, it would be wise to avoid the work rush hour times. In the morning, the peak of the rush hour is around 07:00, tailing off by about 08:00, while the evening rush hour peak is around 16:00, slowing down by about 18:00. A particularly bad time of the week to travel, regarding traffic congestion, is between 15:00 and 16:00 on a Friday, when the locals are leaving the city for the weekend.

Town driving is much more comfortable in a smaller, compact car, which is easier to manoeuvre into parking spaces and around the streets. For trips into the mountains or to sights further afield, a luxury sedan or SUV, premium or standard, will give you more space – both for passengers and luggage.

    The speed limit for driving within the built-up or residential areas of Trondheim ranges between 30 kph and 50 kph depending on the size of the road. On dual carriageways and motorways, the limit increases to 110 kph; this will depend on the weather, and you may find this decreases in the rain or during the winter months when there is heavy snowfall. When you are collecting your car hire in Trondheim, it is advisable to ask the customer service agent for some tips, especially in winter when you may need to add winter tyres or snow chains to your car.

    There are plentiful parking spaces in the city of Trondheim, both on the street and in multi-storey car parks.

The centrally located multi-storey parks, such as Torget P-hus and Statens Hus are generally open between 06:30 and 21:30 during the week and 06:30 and 19:00 on the weekend.

We were charged almost $1000 in hidden fees after the fact. I would not have booked this car if I knew about the extra $1000 in hidden fees. This is ridiculous.

Pick-up staff in Trondheim were efficient; process went smoothly. No pressure to buy liability insurance that I already had from credit card. Car was excellent; I have looked into buying the same plug-in hybrid SUV model upon return, liked it that much. Drop-off at the airport in Alesund was easy because I had read online in advance what the procedure was. Otherwise it could have been confusing as not a lot of signage. But all the car rental companies suffered equally from this.

Would like to have actual address on the receipt and rental agreement. Had to go through many emails to find original confirmation to find address to return the car to.
