Check out the offers available with Avis, Budget and Sixt. They're among the top-rated providers in the city.
The coverage Avis or another company offers for your Sandnes car hire can vary, so be sure to check the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

Check each company's age requirements before booking your rental in Norway. Rules can vary, and extra charges or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
