Namsos Motoring
Norway can get very cold and the weather very severe, so we advise booking a 4WD such as the Nissan X-Trail or Land Rover. If skiing, then either add ski racks to your booking, or consider renting a estate/station wagon, similar to the Volvo V50 Estate. Winter tyres are mandatory and are included free of charge. We can also provide one way car hire in Norway. Whilst one way rentals are available they can work out expensive, as depends on the distance. plus third party liability insurance, theft protection, a collision damage waiver and unlimited miles.
About Namsos
About 13,000 people live in this this town, situated on the banks of the River Namsen, in a bay that is still a few miles from the sea. With house being of mainly wooden construction (lots of trees in the surrounding forest), it has suffered 3 major fires in just over 200 hundred years, but none since the Second World War. The town is about a third of the way up the craggy, fjord sculptured, western coastline of Norway.
The currency is the Norwegian Krone. Over five million call Norway their home, who do very well in the main, due to their abundance of natural resources not being wasted, and helping to contribute to one of the best life styles around the world. They are mainly Christian Lutherans, but with a range of others as befits any multi-cultural society. Football, skiing and most winter sports are popular pastimes. The main industries are oil, gas, fishing and mobile phones.
