Norway Road Tolls and Ferries in a Rental Car: AutoPASS

How do you pay tolls and ferries in a Norway rental car?

Every toll station in Norway is automated, according to AutoPASS. Cameras and tag readers record the car, and the bill goes to whoever is linked to it. For a rental car, that is the rental company, not you.

Avis Norway says most of its cars have a tag, that it charges an administration fee of NOK 40 per day for a maximum of five days, and that passages are billed at full price including VAT because Avis re-invoices them. It also warns that removing or moving the tag leads to extra charges. Other companies price this differently, so ask at the counter how tolls and ferries are billed.

How much are the Oslo and Bergen tolls in 2026?

Oslo's toll ring is run by Fjellinjen, which lists these 2026 rates for cars up to 3,500 kg on its tariffs page, valid from 1 January 2026:

Rush hour is 06:30–09:00 and 15:00–17:00 on weekdays. It does not apply at weekends, on public holidays or in July. Fjellinjen charges only one crossing per hour on the Inner Ring and the Oslo Ring, and one per hour at the City Border, which runs one direction only. AutoPASS agreement holders get 20% off, but a rental company decides whether that saving reaches you.

Bergen uses a different operator and a higher rush-hour premium. Ferde's Bypakke Bergen table for 2026:

Bergen's rush hours are 06:30–09:00 and 14:30–16:30 on weekdays, and a one-hour rule also applies. An electric rental car pays the electric rate automatically because it is on the Norwegian vehicle register with its fuel type.

How much do car ferries cost on Norway's fjords?

National-road ferries use the AutoPASS ferry tariff managed by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The 2026 tariff prices each route by distance zone and each vehicle by measured length. The car fare includes the driver, and passengers travel free. Moss–Horten has its own tariff.

A car under 6 metres, which covers ordinary rental cars, pays from NOK 51 in zone 1 to several hundred kroner on long crossings, per the full-price list. Norwegian-registered electric cars pay 70% of that fare for a car under 6 metres.

Ways to pay on a ferry

AutoPASS for ferry lists four routes to payment:

1. A prepayment agreement linked to a tag, which gives 40–50% off. It needs an advance payment of NOK 2,200 for cars up to 8 metres, so it rarely pays off for a short trip.
2. An AutoPASS-approved tag without a ferry agreement, which gives 10% off.
3. FerryPay, which charges a registered card one full-price ticket per crossing with no invoice. You can add vehicles you do not own, but it must be set up by the day before departure.
4. Card payment to the crew on board, with no invoice fee.

If none of these applies, an invoice with a NOK 35 fee goes by post to the vehicle's owner, which for a rental car means the rental company and then its own handling charge.

Worked example: Oslo to Bergen and the Sognefjord

A weekday trip in a petrol rental from Avis: leave Oslo at 08:00, arrive in Bergen after 16:00, and two days later cross the Sognefjord on the E39 Lavik–Oppedal ferry and come back the same day. Fjord1 lists that crossing in tariff zone 6 at NOK 81 for a car under 6 metres, about 20 minutes each way.

This covers only the items with published 2026 prices. Toll stations on the highway between the two cities are not included, because each project sets its own rate; check them on the AutoPASS station map before you leave. Arriving in Bergen after 16:30 cuts the petrol toll there to NOK 32. For the airport leg in Oslo, see Gardermoen airport to the city centre.

How much is a speeding fine in Norway?

Norway's fixed speeding fines rose on 15 February 2026, as confirmed by NAF. The amounts below come from the Ministry of Transport's 2026 proposal, and NAF's example of 61 km/h in a 50 zone matches its NOK 5,950 band.

Beyond these bands the case is no longer a fixed fine. NAF also reports that handheld mobile phone use now costs NOK 10,750.
