Almost no waiting in line, they just did a quick ID check, handed over the keys, and reminded us to take photos of the car to record its condition.

The location is easy to find, Avis has a prominent sign, situated in the central area, less than a ten-minute walk from the pier, with a large parking area at the entrance, making pickup and drop-off very convenient.

The service from AVIS was excellent!

Although Stavanger Airport is not very large, all the car rental offices are located in a small building about 50 meters outside the airport, which is fairly easy to find. When I arrived, there was no queue at the AVIS window. I handed over my rental voucher, driver's license, QEEQ certificate, and credit card to the staff, and the process was completed in just a few minutes. The staff repeatedly confirmed my rights and obligations, had me sign in four places, and then handed me the car key. All the rental cars are located on the top floor of a five-story parking garage next to the rental office. Taking the elevator up, it was not too difficult to find the car assigned to me, a nearly new Golf Estate with only 6000 kilometers driven. I requested a diesel car, but the staff said none were available, so I got a gasoline car instead. Over ten days, it was quite fuel-efficient. The car had automatic headlights, automatic wipers, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, a massaging driver's seat, and automatic start-stop for the engine. All the necessary features were included, which was excellent. The downside was that due to the small engine, the power loss was quite noticeable when the air conditioning was on, and in some cases, I had to downshift two gears to drive normally.

Easy pickup
