Car rental at the Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen

Located in the region of Western Norway, Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen, is your gateway to nearby fjords, mountains, and valleys. Nestled amongst these natural wonders, this airport provides stunning scenic views even before you set off on your Norwegian adventure. Please note, the airport is small, so there are no direct flight connections from the UK. However, you can travel via Oslo, which do have connections to London and other major UK cities.

The Drive

Norway drives on the right side of the road, unlike in the UK where vehicles drive on the left. This might take you a moment to get used to, but taking it slow and following the road rules will help you adjust in no time.

Rental Cars at Sogndal Airport

Sogndal Airport hosts a number of car rental services. You will have a choice between economy and luxury vehicles, with both automatic and manual transmission options available. Keep in mind if you choose to rent a manual transmission vehicle, it might be a bit tricky at first due to the placement of gears and the driving side.

Fuel Stations

The nearest fuel station is approximately 10km from the airport, so ensure you have enough fuel for the initial part of your journey. Petrol stations in Norway are self-service, much like in the UK, so there shouldn't be much difference in the refuelling process.

Local Currency

The local currency in Norway is the Norwegian krone (NOK). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Norway including at the car rentals and petrol stations, but having some local currency might be helpful for small purchases.

Surrounding Areas of Sogndal Airport

The airport is 20 minutes drive from the central city of Sogndal. The world renowned fjords, including Sognefjord and Nærøyfjord, are easily accessible with a short drive from the city. Other places of interest like Sogndal Ski Centre, Kunstmuseum and Astruptunet are also within easy reach.

Climate Considerations

Western Norway experiences heavy rainfall, especially during the autumn months. Depending upon the season of your travel, the road conditions can be significantly different. Having an appropriate rental car for your journey can make a massive difference, especially in the colder months, so consider booking a vehicle that can handle potentially difficult conditions.

We wish you a memorable journey ahead.
