Car leasing

Leasing cars for an extended period without a social security number or financial history in Norway can be challenging. 

If you need a rental car or leasing of a car, you can contact local car dealer Gumpen, who can offer favorable deals based only on written confirmation from your employer. Book here or send an e-mail to Kenneth Abrahamsen or call (+47) 456 64566. The car can easily be picked up at the airport in Kristiansand if needed. Please note: your insurance company in your home country will keep a document showing your possible previous accident history in traffic. We recommend that you bring this document with you to Norway, some car dealers or insurance companies will ask for it before giving you a price. Also remember to check the validity of your driver's license in Norway.
