About Renting a Car at Kristiansund Airport

Kristiansund Airport Kvernberget (KSU) has five rental companies and serves the Nordmøre region on Norway's northwestern coast. The airport is located on Kvernberget, 7 km southeast of Kristiansund center, approximately 10 minutes' drive. With a rental car you can reach the Atlantic Ocean Road — one of the world's most beautiful drives — in just 20 minutes.

Kvernberget Airport is situated on a peninsula in Møre og Romsdal and has daily connections to Oslo and Bergen. Kristiansund is known for its dried fish tradition and its four islands connected by bridges and tunnels. Fv64 toward Averøy and continuing to the Atlantic Ocean Road (Rv64) is the region's most spectacular drive.

Drive the Atlantic Ocean Road (approximately 20 km southwest) directly from the airport — eight bridges over the ocean and dramatic coastline. Book a car with unlimited kilometers if you plan to explore Trollstigen (approximately 130 km south) and Geirangerfjorden. Avoid driving into Kristiansund center during rush hour — the tunnels can become congested.

How far is it from Kristiansund Airport to the Atlantic Ocean Road? Approximately 20 km southwest via Fv64 and Rv64, taking roughly 20–25 minutes. Can I drive to Molde from Kristiansund Airport?

Yes, approximately 65 km south via Rv70 and Atlantertunnelen (toll road), taking roughly 1 hour. Is there electric car charging at Kvernberget Airport? Check with your rental company whether they offer electric vehicles and where the nearest charging station is — there are several charging points in Kristiansund center.
