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.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. They were friendly and flexible with our reservation. It’s a very small airport and they only come for reservations. But everything went well and the service/car were just perfect!

The overall experience at SIXT Leknes is beyond my expectation! Pros - Staff was very helpful and the entire process took not so long. - I booked two cars for 6 people: one is peugeot 5008 and another one is yaris. I got an upgrade from peugeot to go a van (Toyota Proace) which can accommodate all 6 passengers and luggages so I asked the staff to help cancel the yaris one. Even though the payment has been made, the staff is very eager to help me out and call ask his manager for advice and finally got approved. I highly appreciated! - The car I got is quite new. Nothing to complain. - The price is reasonable (except the one-way fee which is quite expensive) - The return process is easy and fast at Tromso airport. Cons - The only small con that I experienced was that when I started the van, the sign about tire pop-up and I tried to go back to SIXT counter at the airport but the staff is not there and didn't pick up the call (I understood as the Leknes is very small and there is no customer left and no flight at the time). However, I called the call center instead and he said there is no problem as it was the car adjusting to the new tire so I was relieved. In summary, I'm really happy with SIXT Leknes and definitely recommend to anyone!

Pick-Up of the car at Leknes Cruise Port went perfect. Prior Mail communication is needed to get the car delivered to the port. Instructions were precise and easy to understand. Very individual service, including insider advise.
