How much does it cost to rent a car in Norway?
The daily rate, tolls, fuel and other costs on top of the rental price.
Short answer
A rental car in Norway costs the daily rate quoted at booking plus fuel, ferries and road tolls, which the rental firm bills separately, often weeks after the trip. In August 2026 unleaded 95 petrol averaged NOK 19.42 per litre, and a petrol car pays NOK 38–47 per passage of the Oslo toll ring.
Why
- Avis Norway states that toll charges usually arrive a few weeks after the rental ends, because the details must first come from the toll operators.
- Sixt's Norwegian rental terms make the renter pay tolls, road pricing and parking, plus VAT and any margin added by the company.
- Statistics Norway recorded an average of NOK 19.42 per litre for unleaded 95 petrol and NOK 21.48 for diesel in August 2026.
Details
In the Oslo toll ring a petrol car pays NOK 38 per passage outside rush hour and NOK 47 in rush hour, under Fjellinjen rates valid from 1 January 2026. Visit Norway notes that rental firms may require you to have held your licence for at least one year. Putting the wrong fuel in a Sixt car costs NOK 20,000 under the company's terms.
Tip
Book in advance, particularly for summer, as Visit Norway recommends, and ask at the desk how tolls and ferries will be billed to you.
What may differ
Electric rental cars pay lower tolls: in the Oslo toll ring an electric car pays NOK 21 outside rush hour and NOK 26 in rush hour, against NOK 38 and NOK 47 for a petrol car.
