Rental companies at Værnes, app-based rental and the winter studded tyre fee.
Short answer
At Trondheim Airport Værnes you can rent a car from Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, Sixt and the app-based service Hyre, according to Avinor. Hyre also has cars in Trondheim itself, unlocked with your phone. Avinor gives a phone number for each company but no desk locations or opening hours, so confirm pick-up when you book.
Why
- Avinor's car rental page for Værnes lists Budget on 48 21 05 00, Enterprise on 908 14 000, Hertz on 73 50 35 00 and Sixt on 74 82 29 90, along with Avis and Hyre.
- Hyre says its cars are unlocked with a phone around the clock, with insurance and 150 km included in the price, while tolls, fuel and extra kilometres come on top.
- Visit Norway strongly recommends booking a rental car in advance, particularly in the summer season.
Details
Hyre rents by the hour or for several days and also has cars at Oslo and Bergen airports. With the traditional companies, you may need to have held your licence for at least one year, according to Visit Norway. Hyre records toll passages in real time and adds them to the receipt.
Tip
Book early for summer trips and confirm where to collect the car, since Avinor's page gives no desk locations or opening hours.
