Car rental location Kirkenes Airport

Location information for Kirkenes Airport

Kirkenes Airport serves a small Norwegian municipality situated far closer to Russia and Finland than Oslo. Norway's national capital lies more than 1,550 miles south of this small Finnmark town which stands less than seven miles away with car hire in Kirkenes Airport. The Russian border is equally close by. Finnmark's snow-capped mountains and pristine lakes can easily be admired from all flights entering Kirkenes Airport.

Airport Facilities

First opened in 2006, the Kirkenes Airport terminal building is relatively new. Even though the airport presently only offers domestic flights, it nonetheless greeted over 277,000 passengers in 2009. Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Europcar all supply car rental in Kirkenes Airport. These vehicles can be parked in any of the airport's 300 available long-term parking spaces. Cafeterias, a gift shop, a parents' room, and wireless internet access are also featured here.

Car Hire Kirkenes Airport

When they compare car hire options, motorists should be aware that Kirkenes is one of the world's few places where heading west means time zones move forward, not backwards. This is because Kirkenes actually lies east of Finland, whose time zone is an hour ahead of Norway's. Despite Kirkenes' close proximity to Russia, the only legal crossing between Russia and Norway is much farther away in Storskog. The biggest risk motorists will face when driving in Kirkenes is running over any of the 6,000 reindeer who unexpectedly cross Kirkenes' streets.

Things To See and Do

Kirkenes is the final stop on both Norway's famous Hurtigruten ferry route and the world's second northernmost rail route. Scenic towns under an hour's drive from Kirkenes, include the mining town of Bjørnevatn, the Eastern Sami cultural centre of Neiden, and the Arctic Ocean coastal community of Grense Jakobselv. The Finnish, Russian, and Norwegian borders collide at the Øvre Pasvik National Park, 62 miles south of Kirkenes, but walking around the border marker is against the law.

Best Time To Visit

Kirkenes may be situated on the Varanger Fjord's banks, but its climate is more continental than coastal. Summer is the midnight sun season when the sun rarely sets between the 17th of May and the 21st of July, but Kirkenes becomes submerged in nearly total darkness between the 21st of November and the 21st of January. The average July temperature is just below 13°C, while Kirkenes' winter temperatures plummet to nearly -12°C.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is 121CarHire.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
