Is there an extra fee for a one-way car rental in Norway?
One-way fees, how they show up in the quote and the rules at Avis and Sixt.
Short answer
Avis and Sixt let you return a rental car in another Norwegian city, but a one-way fee is usually added and included in the price you see when booking. Avis says the fee varies by country and usually does not apply within the same city area. Neither company lists a fixed amount online, so compare quotes.
Why
- Avis says the price quote for a one-way rental includes the rental price and any one-way fees, which vary by country.
- According to Avis, these fees usually do not apply to cars picked up and returned within the same city area.
- Sixt's Norwegian rental terms list the price for a one-way rental as a cost the renter pays when it has been agreed in the contract.
Details
To see the fee, choose a different return location when you book: Avis asks you to tick the box for returning to another rental location and then shows a quote. Some extras may not be available on one-way rentals, according to Avis. Sixt offers one-way rentals from Oslo Airport Gardermoen for an extra fee. Taking the car out of Norway is a separate question: Sixt requires written consent, and Avis says it depends on the car model and whether you buy Continental Cover.
Tip
Agree the return location in the contract before you drive off: under Sixt's terms, leaving the car somewhere other than agreed can add the cost of transporting it back.
What may differ
One-way rentals across a border, for example from Norway to Sweden, are possible in much of Europe, but Avis says the fees vary by country and some extras may not be offered.
