Driving Tips for Leknes

Driving a rental car in Leknes offers an unforgettable way to experience the beauty of the Lofoten Islands. Keep these tips in mind for a safe and enjoyable journey:

  • Watch for wildlife: Roads in this region often pass through remote areas where deer and other animals may cross. Keep an eye out for them, especially at dawn and dusk.
  • Be prepared for changing weather: Weather in the Lofoten Islands can shift rapidly. Carry chains or snow tires in winter, and be ready for wet or icy roads.
  • Stick to speed limits: Speed limits are generally 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns and 80 km/h (50 mph) on rural roads, with clear signs posted.
  • Plan fuel stops: Gas stations are sparse in remote areas, so ensure you fill up in Leknes or other larger towns before setting off on longer trips.
  • Use designated parking areas: Many scenic spots and hiking trailheads offer parking, but spaces can be limited during peak times. Arrive early to secure a spot.
  • Watch for narrow bridges: Some routes in the Lofoten Islands feature single-lane bridges. Be patient and yield to oncoming traffic when required.

In Aug 2024 I rented a car from Leknes Airport with Sixt and had a great experience. After we landed we were met by Laura and Ancee who were just brilliant, not only did they show us the features of our car and how to use it, but they were friendly, kind, and genuinely lovely people! Plus, they spent time to tell us/list out all the great things to see and do in the area! The car itself was amazing, no problems at all. Returning it was also no issue. Thanks to the incredible staff for making our Lofoten trip extra special! I definitely would recommend it. 100%!

Not sure why such low reviews? I rented a car and there was a mistake made - automatic when manual booked. Excellent customer service with a replacement (upgraded free of charge) within 1 hour. Will book again!
