Day drive Nordfjord with Car rental - Mercedes Benz V clas

Car rental - Mercedes Benz V clas - 7 seats from Nordfjordeid Cruise Port gives groups the freedom to map a day through Nordfjord’s glacier-forged landscapes. Nordfjordeid sits on the inner shore of Nordfjord in Vestland, Norway; the pickup point is Kaivegen 12, 6770 Nordfjordeid, Norway, just 50 metres from the cruise gate. With a roomy seven-seat van, unlimited miles, and CDW insurance included, this full-day rental turns the hours your ship spends in port into a purposeful road trip. Hit the road and follow narrow fjord roads that hug steep rock walls, cross cascading streams, and open onto broad views of water cutting into the mountains. Key scene features you can reach in a day include glacial tongues and cirques visible from roadside overlooks, white waterfalls plunging off schist and gneiss terraces, and compact coastal villages where timber houses cluster on small peninsulas. The region’s geology is the product of repeated ice ages: deep fjord basins were carved by glaciers into hard crystalline bedrock, leaving sheer cliffs and long, narrow inlets. Practical benefits: vehicle keys are collected at the ticket office at Kaivegen 12, the rental includes a Collision Damage Waiver with a maximum deductible and refundable security deposit of EUR 1,000, and fuel follows a full-to-full policy. Complimentary child seats are available—specify ages when booking—and the local staff will offer route suggestions and insider tips tailored to cruise schedules. If your ship’s docking changes, the operator’s cruise guest protection and flexible cancellation options reduce risk. What makes this rental special is the combination of a premium, comfortable people-mover and instant access to the Nordfjord road network. For families or multi-generational groups it removes the stress of matching transport and time windows; for photographers and hikers it provides the mobility to chase light across waterfalls, fjord mirrors, and glacier fronts. Safety features and insurance are clear; a credit card is required at pickup. Plan a loop that includes a short hike to a waterfall pullout, a hamlet coffee stop, and a glacier viewpoint—allowing you to experience the fjord’s geology, flora and coastal birdlife at an unhurried pace. Return the van with a full tank and arrive back at the cruise gate with time to spare. This rental is a practical, elevated way to convert a ship’s layover into an active and memorable day in western Norway. Expect right-hand driving and narrow tunnels; allow extra time for single-lane bridges and tunnels that require a brief pause. Parking in villages is usually metered or limited; use designated bays and avoid blocking local traffic. If you plan to cross fjord by local car ferry, check schedules ahead—ferries are frequent but run on timetables. Carry a charged phone, a paper map backup, and patience.
