Short answer

Prices for hiring a bus with a driver vary by company: Oslo Turbuss, for example, charges a NOK 2,900 call-out fee plus NOK 1,000 per hour for a 50-seat coach. Oslobuss gives example prices for 50 passengers, including VAT and tolls, of NOK 4,000 from Oslo S to Gardermoen and NOK 13,500 to Hemsedal.

Why

  1. Oslo Turbuss lists a 16-seat VIP minibus with driver at NOK 1,500 call-out plus NOK 850 per hour, and a 79-seat double-decker at NOK 3,900 plus NOK 1,200 per hour.
  2. Oslobuss says its example prices for 50 passengers include VAT and tolls: NOK 4,000 from Oslo S to Gardermoen, NOK 7,500 to Kistefoss and NOK 13,500 to Hemsedal.
  3. Oslo Turbuss adds a diesel surcharge of NOK 9 per km for trips longer than 200 km, and tolls, parking and ferries come on top.

Details

Oslobuss has vehicles with 16 to 110 seats, from minibuses to articulated buses, covers the Oslo and Akershus area and gives a non-binding quote when you enter where you want to go. Wi-Fi and catering must be ordered as extras. The prices from Oslo Turbuss assume that the trip starts and ends in Oslo; if it does not, the company also charges for the driving time to Oslo S.

Tip

Ask for a written quote that says whether VAT, tolls and ferries are included: Oslobuss includes VAT and tolls in its examples, while Oslo Turbuss charges tolls and ferries on top.

What may differ
