Car rental at the Stord Airport

Located in the city of Stord, Norway, the Stord Airport, Sørstokken, serves as a doorway to the breathtaking landscapes of Western Norway. With an array of car rental services available, exploring the surrounding towns and picturesque locations is a breeze.

Driving on the Right Side

Unlike the UK, people in Norway drive on the right side of the road. Cars are left-hand drive, a mirror image of those in the UK. You might need some time getting used to these changes, but Norwegian roads are well designed, making for an uncomplicated adjustment.

Car Rentals Direct from the Airport

Stord Airport houses several car rental services. Here are the most popular ones:

• Hertz

We recommend checking the rental pick-up and drop-off times that coincide with your flight schedule for a hassle-free experience.

Fuel Up and Go

Fuel stations are conveniently located within close proximity to the airport. Circle K and Esso Express are two of the nearest petrol stations where you can fill up before heading on your journey.

Accessibility

Route 544 connects Stord Airport to Stord city centre. Drive carefully and follow the traffic regulations as they are strictly enforced in Norway.

Climate and Clothing

Norway has a quite colder climate than the UK. It's advisable to pack warm clothing and wet weather gear, especially when planning to explore fjords and mountains.

Currency

Norway uses Norwegian krone (NOK) as its currency. Many places accept credit and debit cards, so, too much cash may not always be necessary. However, it's recommended to have some on hand for smaller transactions or emergencies.
