What kind of rental car should I get for Skien?
Sure, you can make your way around Skien without renting a car. But with so much to see here, having one would certainly make life easier. If you're eager to head out of town and into Mother Nature, choose a vehicle with a bit of power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will take you to the area's shingle seashores in style and comfort. Spending most of your vacation in the city center? A small, economical car is a wise choice. Driving around busy streets and squeezing into tiny parking spaces will be a snap in one of these.

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a great range of luxurious rentals in Skien. What you end up opting for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not book an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to get from A to B as efficiently as possible, you're better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
