Car Hire Haugesund-Avaldsnes Airport

Haugesund is one of the most important places in Norway and was the key to the birth of the country. Haugesund is pivotal in the history of Norway. It was there that King Harald Fairhair united the country. One of the best places to find out more is to visit the Nordvegen History centre, a short distance by hire car from the centre of Haugesund. At the centre, a guide dressed as Harald, takes you through 3,500 years of Norwegian history.

Next to the centre there’s a reconstruction of a Viking farm which helps you to understand the difficulties faced by the ancestors of modern day Norwegians. Finally, visit St Olav’s Church and see Norway’s tallest pillar next to it.

The airport accepts flights from many European destinations with the largest operator being Ryanair who fly to Haugesund from London Stansted. Once at the airport, collect your rental car, finalising the paperwork and the car hire desks in the arrivals hall and then it is only a thirty-minute journey into the city.
