To secure the best deal for a hire car in Oslo, compare offers online and book in advance. Small cars are perfect for the city but you may need a bigger vehicle for more wide-ranging trips. Mountain roads, for instance, are often easier to navigate in a larger car – and if you’re planning on packing skis, you may need the extra space.

Once you’re behind the wheel, be sure to turn your headlights on. In Norway, headlights are compulsory at all times, even on sunny days. Then, drive out of the airport taking the E16 and then E6 all the way to Oslo city centre. Depending on traffic, this journey takes around 35-50 minutes.

Driving and parking in Norway’s capital is relatively straightforward, with many indoor car parks available. Pedestrians have priority here, as do cyclists and trams, so give way where necessary.

The city also has toll points to limit traffic. Buying an AutoPASS tag lowers the cost of toll fees if you’re staying a while.

Outside the city, get ready for one of the most beautiful drives in the world. The route between Oslo and Bergen promises everything from magnificent mountains to glistening fjords and waterfalls.
