Car rental in Stokmarknes

Soak in exploratory freedom, courtesy of your hired car, as you cruise through this small town nested on the island Hadseløya in the Nordic nation. Boasting rich history and captivating landscapes, Stokmarknes is where you'll get a real taste of Northern Norway!

Northern Norway's Gem

Being located so far north, visitors from Britain might notice some differences, such as longer days during the summer season with the glorious Midnight Sun, and larger snow-filled seasons than they'd normally experience in Britain.

Driving around Stokmarknes

Car Class Recommendations

A compact car is recommended for navigating the city streets. However, an SUV would be perfect for the hilly, swirling routes surrounding the city, especially during the winter season.

Parking

Unlike Britain's complex yellow line regulations, parking in Stokmarknes is free, unless signs say otherwise. No tickets needed.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Standard speed limits are quite similar to the UK, but it's important to note that on motorways, speed limits are usually 90 km/h (55 mph) not the 70mph we're familiar with in UK.

Local Treasures and Attractions

While in Stokmarknes, make sure to visit the Hurtigruten Museum. Also, a ferry ride viewing the spectacular coastal landscape is a must.

Stokmarknes Neighbourhoods

The city of Stokmarknes comprises quaint neighbourhoods like Melbu and Fiskebøl, which are within short driving distances and worthy of a visit.

Currency & Times to visit

The Norwegian Krone (NOK) is the local currency. A sun-soaked voyage under the Midnight Sun during June to July or a winter adventure with a chance to glimpse the Northern Lights between Nov - Jan, are excellent times to visit.
