Car rental at the Andøya Airport

Car Rental at the Airport

Your exploration of the arctic paradise begins right at the airport. There are several car rental stations conveniently located at Andøya Airport. Renting a car enables you to freely roam the island and discover its hidden gems at your own pace. We recommend choosing a car class that suits the northern terrain, such as an SUV or a compact car with good heating systems for those colder days.

Fuel Up

Andøya is a rural area, so it's a good idea to fill your car up before hitting the road. The nearest gas station is located just about 3km from the airport. It's advisable to keep an eye on your fuel gauge, particularly if you plan on driving the scenic tourist routes.

The Route

Once you hit the road, you're in for a treat. Route E69, which leads from Andenes towards the south, offers stunning views of the Norwegian Sea, while the fjords and mountains create a beautiful backdrop. If you're lucky, you may spot the Northern Lights making the drive even more magical.

Andenes and Surrounding Cities

Andenes provides all the basic amenities including grocery stores, restaurants, and cozy accommodations. The surrounding areas have plenty to offer too - be it the charming coastal town of Sortland or the magical Trollfjord. And if you're up for a longer drive, the city of Harstad awaits to dazzle you with its culture and gastronomy.

Local Insider Tips

• Carry enough NOK (Norwegian Krone), the local currency, especially for those off-the-beaten-path experiences.
• Plan your route. The island is large and having a road map handy will help you make the most of your journey.
• Expect cooler temperatures. Remember, you're in Northern Norway!

We hope this information helps you enjoy your trip in Andøya to the fullest. Here's to an unforgettable adventure!
