Driving in Norway

Driving through Norway is an adventure: most national roads are usually narrower country roads, and many of the routes will take you through landscapes with outstanding views. On the other hand, the speed limit is often lower than elsewhere in Europe and a four-lane highway is only common around large cities.

Tolls are automatically deducted on both cars and motorhomes in Norway. If your vehicle comes from abroad, it is advisable to register it with Euro Parking Collection plc (EPC) before the trip starts. This also applies when you rent a RV in Norway.
