Comprehensive Guide to Car Rental Companies in Oslo

Compare all the best top rental companies located in Oslo

In this section, you will find detailed information about the car rental companies operating in Oslo, their pricing policies, office locations, and the fleet of vehicles they offer. This guide aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview to help you make an informed decision for your car rental needs.

The daily prices listed have been calculated based on 7-day reservations during the mid-season (September). These prices are indicative and may vary. To obtain the actual rental cost, please use our booking system. All vehicles from all companies come with free cancellation up to 48 hours before pick-up. This gives you the flexibility to change your plans without any penalties.

Below, we will define some key terms used in the subsequent company analyses:

  • Security deposit is an amount that the main driver leaves on their credit card when picking up the car. This deposit is refundable and is used to cover potential damages or issues. The counter staff will block this amount on your credit card and confirm the exact value.
  • Damage excess refers to the maximum amount you will pay towards repairs if the car's bodywork is damaged. This amount is covered by the Collision Damage Waiver, provided you adhere to the rental agreement terms. It does not cover damage to other parts of the car (e.g., windows, wheels, interior) or charges related to towing, off-road use, or personal belongings inside the car.
  • The fuel policy "like for like" means that when you pick up your car, the fuel tank will be full or partly full. You will leave a deposit to cover the fuel cost, which will be blocked on your credit card. Before returning the car, you need to replace the fuel you've used to the same level it was when you picked it up.

For companies with a large number of models, we only display the most popular or economical models to simplify your selection process.

Discovering Norway: A Driving Adventure

Experience the Natural Wonders with Car Rental

Driving a car in Oslo, Norway

When people travel to a country outside of their own, they are often a little nervous about driving there. There is the belief that road signs will be impossible to read, or that driving on the other side of the road may prove to be an issue. Things generally aren’t as tough as you might imagine, though, and getting behind the wheel of a car is often the best way to get around. A car rental in Norway is a good idea, especially if your plan is to get out and see the many natural wonders that are on offer in this beautiful country.

If you are used to being in a left-hand drive country, you are going to have a little bit of adjustments, as Norway is right hand drive. It is also more than likely that you will be driving a vehicle that comes with a manual transmission. Your car can be an automatic if you wish, but you are going to have to ensure that you make that choice obvious when you book your rental. There are a few major highways around Oslo where the speed limit is 110km/h, but for the most part, you are looking at a general speed limit of 80km/h in most places.

Visitors who arrive in Norway from major metropolitan cities are often surprised at how quiet the roads are, even in and around larger cities. While the roads are clear and well maintained, there are some things that you need to be prepared for.

Road Navigation and Travel Considerations in Norway

We spoke earlier about how some travelers may be put off by driving because of an inability to read road signs, but this really isn’t an issue. The images used on the signs are things that you are already used to seeing on the road signs in your home country. They are easy to read and understand, and are in no way a hindrance to your ability to get where you want to go. Gas is subject to heavy taxes, and is therefore likely to be a good deal more expensive than you are used to. Many of the roads operate on a toll system, which means you will need to have some cash on hand to pay. These are things you should budget for on top of the price you pay for your car rental in Norway.

One of the main reasons to travel anywhere is to see all the wonderful sights that a country has on offer. Norway is home to many of these, and they are easy to find thanks to the way in which the roads are laid out. Most the major cities in the country are connected by National Tourist Routes, which are roads that lead to all the important tourist spots in Norway. This is the safest way to go, as getting off the main roads means making it a whole lot tougher to find places to fuel up. It’s easy to rent a car in Norway, and it’s absolutely the best way to get from place to place. There’s a lot to see and do, and it’s great to be able to do it all on your own schedule.
