Car rental
 
We will need a car rental for 8 days in Stavanger summer 2009. I can't believe the rates they are getting. Does anyone know of a discount car rental company in Stavanger?

We found the rates high in July 2008 in Germany as well. The rates had jumped about 50% from the previous December. I know some of this is the dollare going down, but not 50% in 6 months!

Thanks for any help you can give.

You might try Maggiore Car Hire. They are based in Ireland, but you will get service anywhere, including Norway. Excellent service and autos. We recently rented a Mercedes C class estate wagon with Auto and Diesel for a price that no one could match AND one firm would not honor the "we are the lowest or we will give you the difference etc." pledge.

Hi B,

Try www.kemwel.com, www.gemut.com, www.autoeurope.com and www.novacarhire.com.

Try AutoEurope, but use all the different English speaking home country pages to search. They will bring back different cars at different prices. You can book through any of them.

Do you have a link to Maggiore Car Hire?

Hi,
There is no Maggiore Car Hire in Ireland.
They are in Italy.

If you book with Autoeurope they have been having summer specials including discounts, free one-class upgrades, free GPS, and one free tank of gas. This special applies for US citizens (but not limited to US rentals) and I believe ends on Labor Day.
