KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Svolvær

  • Svolvær, Norway, is a beautiful city that is located in the Lofoten Islands. One of the biggest advantages of renting cheap car rentals in Svolvær is the freedom it provides. Instead of being tied to public transport schedules, visitors can explore the city at their own pace and on their own schedule. For example, visitors who get Svolvær car rentals can easily access attractions like Henningsvær, a picturesque fishing village that is located just outside of the city. Another destination that is best accessed by car is the scenic route between Svolvær and Å.
  • Svolvær Helle Airport (SVJ) is a small regional airport that serves the area but there are no rental car offices located at the airport. However, you can rent Svolvær car rentals at other nearby airports. Leknes Airport (LKN) is approximately 67 km (41 miles) from Svolvær and the rental car offices at LKN are located in the arrivals hall of the terminal building.

  • Svolvær does not experience the same level of traffic congestion as larger cities, so there is no specific rush hour. However, during the summer when tourism is at its peak, there can be more traffic on the roads, especially on routes leading to popular tourist destinations. In the winter, snow and ice can make driving cheap car rentals in Svolvær difficult. It is therefore important to check weather and road conditions before setting out and be prepared for potentially slippery surfaces. Svolvær also experiences a maritime climate, which means it can have significant rainfall throughout the year. Rain can sometimes make roads slippery, so caution is advised.

3.6 Poor

Jun 2019

KAYAK

Cons:

Hertz at this location (or in Norway) has terrible cars. I got a Suzuki that had been recalled, which was never fixed and was not safe to drive. It had erratic braking, warning lights for the malfunctioning radar and brakes went off every 15 mins, no cruise control, no arm rest. Go with Budget/Avis!

8.0 Very good

May 2019

KAYAK

Cons:

Be aware that the car rental desk is across the parking lot from the airport (a very short walk). My reservation indicated that an airport shuttle was necessary. This caused some confusion when an airport worker confirmed that a shuttle "would be right along" to pick me up.
