At Bergen Airport, expect to find clear signage directing you to the pickup area for pre-arranged transfers. Arrive a bit early to navigate through the airport and locate your driver. Early mornings or late evenings are ideal to avoid traffic congestion, especially around rush hour when locals head to work or school. A friendly tip for first-time visitors: be prepared for the local climate, which can be quite variable, so dress in layers.
