KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Harstad
- Anyone who plans on exploring the region around the city should consider booking car hire in Harstad. Making trips using public transport often takes significantly longer than driving yourself. Harstad is located on the island of Hinnøya, which makes a great gateway to the Lofoten islands including Lofoten, Tromsø and Vesterålen. The roads outside of the towns and cities are usually quiet and you can take in the scenery at your own pace. You can drive to Vesterålen in around 1h 45min. Tromsø and Lofoten are longer road trips, taking around 4h 30min in total, with plenty of places to stop along the way.
- The closest airport to Harstad is the Harstad Evenes Airport (EVE). It is an international airport, so it’s likely that this is where you’ll arrive if Harstad is your first stop in Norway. After you’ve collected your baggage, follow the signs to the car hire desks, where you’ll find desks for companies like Enterprise, Alamo and National. Once you’ve picked up your car, it will take around 40 minutes to drive into town. If you prefer to book car hire in Harstad itself, you can take the bus into town from the airport. It takes around 50 minutes.
- You may want to take your Harstad hire car onto a car ferry during your trip. Just make sure to ask your Harstad car hire provider first. Some may not allow it, and others might require additional insurance. As car ferries are quite common in Norway, it’s quite common for car hire companies to allow this. In fact, your vehicle should come equipped with an Autopass tag that you can use to pay for both toll roads and car ferries.
- If you’re visiting Harstad in the winter months, you can expect to encounter snow. Snow tyres are mandatory in Norway from the 1st of November to the first Sunday after Easter Monday. If you’re visiting just outside this period you can still book winter tyres, and you can ask the company you’ve chosen for car hire in Harstad if you’re not sure if you’ll need them. The good news is that Norway knows how to deal with snow, so traffic isn’t usually too heavily impacted. There may be road closures, so it’s a good idea to get up-to-date information before embarking on a journey. If your car has been parked outdoors during snowfall, remember to clear your licence plate and headlights of snow before you start driving.
