How to get around Norway: current prices for tickets, cars and roads in 2025

Norway is a beautiful country, with a coastline that stretches 1,700 km from south to north. If you're planning a trip there, it's worth thinking about the logistics and budget early on, to make sure everything goes smoothly. I'm happy to tell you that public transport fares, road tolls and shared services (like car sharing and bike rental) are all publicly available and updated once a year.

How much does a single Ruter ticket for 60 minutes within zone 1 (Oslo) cost?

From 1 February 2025, the Single Ticket for adults will increase to 44 NOK, but don't worry, it will still be valid for 60 minutes and will still allow free transfers between the metro, tram, bus and city ferries. Hey, just so you know, the easiest way to get your hands on a ticket is through the Ruter app or by topping up a plastic card in advance. If you're feeling spontaneous, you can always grab a ticket from the driver, but it'll set you back 64 NOK. Children aged 6-17 and concessionary passengers pay just 18 NOK, and children under 6 travel for free!

And how much would a 24-hour pass in Oslo cost?

Hey, if you're planning on making at least three trips in a day, why not go for a daily ticket? It's only NOK 132, and it'll make your trip so much easier! Hey, I totally get it – this pass lets you travel as much as you like in zone 1, including on the island ferries. And the best part is, it starts paying for itself as soon as you take your fourth trip! Hey, just a heads-up that your ticket is ready to go! You can find all the details in the app, and it'll be valid for 24 hours from the moment you activate it. Hey, just so you know, kids, schoolchildren and seniors can all get in for half price – that's 67 NOK!

And the best part is, it's super affordable at just 985 NOK for a whole month! Hey, just so you know, if you're doing at least 30 trips a day, it'll bring the average cost per trip down to just 32 NOK. And you won't have to worry about having to top up your account, which is a real bonus! Hey, just so you know, students and pensioners can save an extra 40%! Don't worry - you can pause your ticket (up to 14 days per year) so you don't lose any days when you're travelling outside the capital.

How much does the Flytoget express train from OSL airport to the city centre cost?

Hey, just so you know, Flytoget is still the fastest way to get to Oslo S station (it only takes 19 minutes!). Adult tickets are 252 NOK, youth tickets (for 16-20 year olds) are 166 NOK, and student and pensioner tickets are 126 NOK.

You can buy your tickets in the app wallet or with a contactless bank card via the 'ticketless travel' system (NFC payment at the turnstile).

I'm curious to know what the cost is of renting an electric car for a short time. Is it the same as car sharing?

Hey, so if you're looking for a car rental in Norway, you might want to check out Hyre, Bilkollektivet and Vybil. They've got some pretty sweet daily packages going for as low as NOK 199 (which is about €17). And if you need a bit more, they've also got options starting from NOK 279, plus NOK 2-3 per kilometre. And don't worry - the fare includes insurance, an AutoPASS chip and electricity, so you only pay for toll roads outside the package. Hey, I totally get it, booking a car can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, but with our app, it's a breeze! You can unlock your car with just a tap on your BLE key, and best of all, parking in the city centre is included!

I was wondering if you could tell me how much it costs to rent a car in summer, in July?

Hey, just so you know, according to Skyscanner, the average daily rate in July is $47 ≈ 510 NOK for a compact car when booked 4 weeks in advance. If you're looking for a cheap rental car in Oslo, you're in luck! Alamo and Thrifty have some great deals at just $79 per day. But if you're planning to explore more of the country, be aware that rates are a bit higher in Bergen and Tromsø. And don't worry about insurance - CDW insurance is included, and the surcharge for a second driver is just 30 to 60 NOK per day. I would really recommend choosing a car with a 1,000 km limit – that should be absolutely fine for your route from Oslo to Sognefjord and then on to Bergen.

How much does a litre of 95 E10 petrol cost?

Hey, just so you know, in the middle of July 2025, the average price was 20.70 NOK for each litre (that's about 1.92 €). The price varies a little bit around the country, but only by about 1.5 NOK. In Finnmark and Lofoten, petrol is a bit more expensive, but there are lots of Circle K and Shell petrol stations on the edge of the capital where you can get a 'happy hour' offer of 0.30 NOK/litre.

Most AutoPASS portals for passenger cars (≤ 3.5 tonnes) charge between 20 and 40 NOK, which is pretty reasonable. But be careful – long bridges and underwater tunnels, such as the Ryfylke Tunnel, can cost up to NOK 150. Hey, just so you know, electric vehicles only pay 50% of the fare (sometimes even just 20%), and with the AutoPASS chip, you get an extra 20% discount and automatic payment without any extra fees. The Oslo/Berum urban areas charge 36-46 NOK during the day and half that at night, which is really reasonable.
