Where can I rent a car in Molde or Ålesund?
Rental desks at Molde and Vigra airports and in Ålesund town.
Short answer
At Molde Airport you can rent from Avis, Hertz and Sixt, while Ålesund Airport Vigra has Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and Sixt, according to Avinor. In Ålesund, Avis also has a town office at Nedre Strandgaten 50. In Molde, Avis lists only its airport station at Årø. Visit Norway recommends booking early, especially in summer.
Why
- Avinor lists these phone numbers at Molde Airport: Avis 71 21 29 19, Hertz 71 20 14 44 and Sixt 912 43 447.
- At Ålesund Airport, Avinor lists Avis on 70 18 34 60, Enterprise on 70 17 82 01 and Sixt on 40 00 28 40, with Budget and Hertz also present.
- Visit Norway strongly recommends booking a rental car in advance, particularly during the summer season.
Details
Avis calls its Molde station Molde Lufthavn Årø, and Hertz gives the same phone number, 71 20 14 44, at both airports. Avis says customers in Ålesund can collect cars at its city office in Nedre Strandgaten 50 as well as at Vigra. If you plan to pick up in one town and return in the other, ask about one-way terms when you book, since the stations are separate.
Tip
If you arrive in Ålesund by ship or bus, compare prices at the Avis town office with the airport desks, which saves a trip out to Vigra.
