ROAD TOLLS IN NORWAY

March 18, 2022October 20, 2017 by David Nikel
Home » Living in Norway » Driving » Road Tolls in Norway

Paying tolls to use many of the country's roads is something you should expect
when visiting Norway. Here's everything you need to know.

The use of road tolls to fund road building has a long tradition in the country.
Their main purpose is to develop better road infrastructure, faster, but they
can also be used for strengthening public transport solutions within cities.

Approximately 190 toll stations are in operation around Norway.

Owned by Statens vegvesen, AutoPASS is the system used to administer and collect
tolls throughout Norway. These days, most toll stations are automated and you
simply drive on as usual without stopping or even slowing down.



The one main exception is the Atlantic Road tunnel between Kristiansund and
Averøy, where manned toll booths are in operation.

Norwegian drivers and regular visitors register their car with AutoPASS and
receive a tag that is placed on the windscreen.

Whenever they drive through an automated collection point, the journey is
registered and a bill is sent on a monthly basis.


NORWEGIAN TOLL ROADS FOR VISITORS

All drivers, regardless of your nationality, are required to pay Norwegian road
tolls.



The automated toll stations are all equipped with a video camera that reads
registration plates and toll tags on every vehicle that drives through.

If you hire a car in Norway, your rental car provider will have registered the
vehicle with AutoPASS. Simply drive as usual and your toll charges will be added
to your final bill, unless otherwise agreed with the rental company.

If you are driving a foreign registered vehicle, it's a good idea to register
with Euro Parking Collection (EPC), which is the body responsible for invoicing
such vehicles. By registering your vehicle before your journey, you will ensure
easy access to all invoices and a much faster processing time.

If you don't register, an invoice will be sent to the registered address of the
vehicle's owner. It will be in the language of the car's registered country, and
you can usually pay to a local bank account.


CHARGES TO DRIVE IN NORWEGIAN CITIES

Although I highly recommend a road trip in Norway, I do caution against hiring a
car if you are planning a city break. Environmental legislation has made driving
in Norwegian cities extremely expensive.



For example, to drive into Trondheim city centre from the south (from Oslo along
the E6), you will pass three toll stations and be charged a minimum of 29kr, and
more than that at peak times.

Street parking in the city costs 27kr for the first hour, 59kr for the second
hour, and 96kr for the third hour, while indoor parking lots will set you back
up to 230kr per 24-hour period. It's a similar story in the other big cities
such as Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen.

My advice when visiting Norway is to use public transport while staying in
cities, and only rent a car when you want to explore the fjords, Lofoten, or one
of Norway's 18 fantastic National Tourist Routes.

13 THOUGHTS ON “ROAD TOLLS IN NORWAY”

     About to set of to Norway when, by chance, we found out about the toll
     roads !
     EPC has a very bad name and we are reluctant to use them.
     Taking the Hurty Gruten to Kirkeness and drive back to the UK.
     Hopefully it is possible to buy a carr pass tag in Bergen.
     Is it possible to avoid toll roads on our Norwegian journey ?
     Thanks for your informative website 🙂

       If your car is registered outside Norway, EPC deal with all invoicing.
       You’ll get an invoice from them regardless of whether you register or
       not, if you register things run a bit quicker.

     David:
     
     Hi, my wife and myself live in Australia and planning on a Scandinavian
     Holiday in 2019. We will probably be there for 8 weeks plus and considering
     hiring a Campervan in Hamburg & do a round trip of Scandinavia. We will
     have the campervan for around 3 to 4 weeks, then do a cruise up the coast
     out of Bergen. So when it comes to visits the capitals and main cities with
     the campervan, would you suggest parking on the outskirts and using public
     transport into and out of the cities,
     
     I have also purchased your book from Amazon and keen to read it when it
     arrives.
     
     Do you have any recommendations or suggested itineraries for a campervan
     holiday.
     
     Cheers
     
     Geoff

       I have never driven a campervan in Norway but I would absolutely
       recommend to stay well clear of the cities. Road tolls are high (and
       getting higher) to enter all major cities and parking charges are also
       high, and I expect it would be very difficult to find big enough spaces.
       Have fun!

     Hi
     We just pass a sign saying that we have to pay road cost,which kind of took
     us by suprise. So we registered an account,but we have not been asked to
     insert the plate number, so i am not sure how will they manage to link our
     car to our account.
     Another thing, do you know if they send the bill to us, will it include an
     extra fee, as fine because we have not registered before?
     The last question, is it possible to pay the fee at a gas station?

     HI david, thanks for this informative site. We are spending 4 weeks this
     june in Norway (coming from UK with campervan crossing from Denmark to
     Larvik by ferry) We may return via stockholm using toll bridges to Denmark.
     I understand Fjellinjen do a tag which will give discounts and be useable
     in scandinavia generally. I believe you pay a deposit for tag but can post
     it back from UK when finished with it. Any thoughts? also are there some
     sort of park and ride for Trondheim/Bergen so we can leave vehicle out of
     city
     
     thanking you in advance

     Hertz let me borrow a car and an autopass. I generated 888 kr of tolls.
     I’ll pay the tolls and I suspect that the roadside posted prices of the
     tolls include 25% VAT. Hertz hopes to charge me an extra 222 kr as 25% VAT
     on this 888 kr service. It’s pretty clear that Hertz didn’t provide an 888
     kr service.
     
     The toll is a tax on road users. Government uses this tax to pay for public
     services (e.g. roads). Impressively, the government charges VAT atop the
     road fee to generate a total price, which is posted beside the road.
     
     For Hertz to place a bonus 25% onto that seems a bit if a reach to me. Is
     this tax on tax on tax?
     
     Is it that autopass gets a 20% discount, thereby negating the VAT in the
     roadside price? If so, then I’ll pay the 222kr to Hertz.
     
     Is it that the roadside prices do not include VAT but then autopass adds
     25% VAT for all users? If so, then I’ll pay the 222 kr to Hertz.
     
     If the roadside prices already include VAT and Hertz is somehow caught up
     in confusion about this fact, then I can simply dispute the fee with the
     adjudicator.

     Hi,
     Hoping I can get a rough estimate of the toll and ferry prices from Bergen
     (starting point) to Trollstigen (farthest point). I’m currently on the
     website but I’m not having any luck with prices. It looks like we will hit
     three tolls and two ferries one way.
     
     Thank you!

     I am planning a long motorcycle trip in Norway. Do motorcyclists also need
     to pay tolls? What about parking? In Germany, it’s acceptable to park on
     the sidewalk, for example.

     Hello, my friends were in Norway almost two years ago, didn’t register and
     still didn’t recieve an invoice to pay a toll. How is that possible?
     I’m planning to visit next year with a rented car. If I want to register
     with EPC, should I register on my name?
     Thanks.
