Driving tips
Winter driving
It is common for roads to be closed during the winter, so keep an eye on the forecast and plan an extra make up day in your schedule in case of bad weather.
Petrol
Fuel is expensive and driving distances are far. Fill up when you can and consider the fuel efficiency of different types of rental cars. A diesel vehicle is a good option to save money.
Distances
As Norway is the longest country in Europe, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that its cities and tourist destinations are extremely spread out. Plan your route well and carefully choose your starting destination, so you do not accidently drive through the night to get where you want to be. We recommend starting your car hire adventure in Oslo.
Traffic
Compared to other European countries, its unlikely you’ll experience any traffic at all.
