A rental car from Oslo opens up some of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe. The fjord country of western Norway — Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord, Geirangerfjord — is a 5-7 hour drive that ranks among the world's greatest road trips. Closer to Oslo, the Olympic town of Lillehammer (2 hours north) and the coastal towns of the Oslofjord make excellent shorter trips.
Norway has invested heavily in its road infrastructure, including spectacular bridges, tunnels (some running under fjords), and the famous National Tourist Routes. Driving here requires patience — distances are long, speed limits are low, and ferry crossings may be needed — but the rewards are extraordinary. Electric vehicle rentals are particularly popular in Norway, which has the world's highest EV adoption rate.
AutoPASS uses electronic toll points throughout Norway. Rental cars should include a transponder; charges are typically billed to your card via the rental company. Expect tolls of NOK 30-60 (EUR 3-5) per toll point.
About 460 km via the E16 (6-7 hours driving). The route crosses mountain plateaus and is one of Norway's most scenic drives. In winter, road closures are possible on mountain passes.
Norway offers strong incentives for EVs — reduced tolls, free ferry crossings, and an excellent charging network. If your route stays on main roads, an EV is a great choice.
Main roads are well-maintained and ploughed, but mountain passes can close during storms. Check road conditions at vegvesen.no and always carry warm clothes in winter.
Some fjord crossings require short car ferries (typically 10-30 minutes, NOK 100-200 per car). These are a charming part of the Norwegian road trip experience.
