With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Oppdal, 35 miles away, has to offer. Oppdal Troll, Oppdal Church and Solheisen alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also likely point you toward Kristiansund, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Kristiansund Ferry Port. (But we’d also recommend Gamle Byen and Kirkelandet Church.)
