KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kristiansand

  • Car rentals in Kristiansand offer a convenient and flexible option for exploring the Norwegian city. You’ll enjoy more freedom because you can drive at your own pace, and visit different places inaccessible by public transport. You can drive east along the coast to Lillesand, a picturesque coastal town known for its charming white-painted wooden houses and idyllic harbor, or head north into the beautiful Setesdal Valley, a scenic and unspoiled region of Norway.
  • If you’re visiting Kristiansand, you’ll fly into Kristiansand Airport (KRS), around 10 miles from the city center. The airport hosts different car rental agencies, including Avis, Budget, Sixt, Hertz, Enterprise, and Europcar. The car rental desks are available in the main Terminal, Arrivals Hall. The car rental counters remain open throughout the week, though different providers have varying operating hours. You can pick up your rental car outside the Terminal building, a walking distance from the car rental desks. 
  • Driving in Kristiansand is generally easy because the city has a well-maintained road network. The city offers scenic drives in the surrounding areas, allowing you to explore the beautiful Norwegian landscapes and the region’s natural beauty. Some roads in the city and surrounding areas may be narrow and winding, so you should be cautious when driving. You’ll also come across pedestrians and cyclists in the city center, so you should be ready to give way. Slow down as you approach pedestrian crossings and highly-populated areas.
  • Kristiansand is a popular tourist destination, so human and vehicle traffic can get busy during certain times of the year, mainly from June to September. Like most cities, Kristiansand experiences rush hour traffic during weekdays, typically from 6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm. The busiest roads during rush hour include E18, R451, and Kristiansandsveien, the primary road running through the downtown area. Plan your trip in advance and leave early to avoid the congestion. You can also monitor traffic updates in the city and try to use alternate routes to avoid the heaviest traffic.
