The survey by CheapCarRental.net looked into prices across 50 destinations during the month of August. Each destination’s main airport was assigned as the pick-up and drop-off point. 

Coming second in the rankings was Trondheim, where you will need to spend an average of €342 for a week’s car rental (the equivalent of 6 days) for the cheapest car available. In the Norwegian capital of Oslo, prices are not much cheaper at €328 per week.
