### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-10-28*

It says on their site EU licenses are accepted, but they do not say you must have credit in Norway to be able to rent a car. Total waste of time.

**Developer response:** Hi!

We perform credit checks on all of our customers. When renting a car, unexpected and significant costs (e.g., damage, fines, towing fees) can arise, which is why we have implemented mandatory credit checks.

We have always had in our terms and conditions that we reserve the right to perform credit checks on our renters, but we only started doing so in the spring of 2021 (https://www.hyre.no/en/terms-and-conditions/renter/).

There could be several reasons why you did not receive an approved credit check:
- You may have outstanding payment remarks or a low credit rating.
- You may have blocked Creditsafe from performing the credit check
- Creditsafe may not have enough information about you.

You can contact us on chat or mail (hei@hyre.no) for more information.

Best regards,
The Hyre Team

### 1/5 — App is available outside of Norway but you need a Norwegian ID

*2024-06-02*

What’s the point of making the app available globally or at least in most EU countries if login is done via a Norwegian National ID? Do you think there are a lot of Norwegian people who change their App Store to another country?

### 1/5 — Sketchy credit check

*2023-03-28*

Won’t let me rent due to “low credit score” although I have a high one. I tried to check the website they reference (creditsafe) and it doesn’t even show anything about personal credit checks. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Only for Norwegian residents

*2021-12-06, version 5.18.0*

Here are quite common around Oslo and have a nice selection of cars. 

But, its really only for residents due to a few things:

* It uses BankID to login (if you don’t live here, you won’t have this and it can take months to get)
* It’s Norwegian language only
* They perform a credit check, so again, if you have recently moved to Norway, you won’t pass and cannot hire a car

### 5/5 — great service

*2026-06-14, version 10.45.0*

very easy service i really did my work so smooth and twice cheaper than the airport rentals

### 5/5 — great facility

*2024-07-17*

Used hyre for transferring stuff.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-06-13, version 4.88.0*

Easy, convenient, good value, great selection of cars

### 5/5 — Good company

*2019-06-10, version 3.3.1*

Great car
