Driving in Oslo: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Oslo.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental companies also ask for matching ID and a credit card during collection.
Navigating city driving
Oslo has clear signs and well-organised roads throughout the city.
Driving is straightforward on main routes, though central streets can be busy. Navigation apps help you avoid toll points and guide you to neighbourhoods, museums and fjord-side areas.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Norway uses automatic tolls on several of Oslo’s main roads.
Tolls are charged electronically as you pass and added to your rental bill. Oslo also has low-emission rules for older vehicles, though standard rental cars usually meet requirements.
Parking your car in Oslo
Parking is easiest in car parks around the centre.
Street spaces can be limited near popular areas. Multi-storey car parks and park-and-ride sites offer simpler options. Always check signposts, as prices vary between districts.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is available across the city, and EV charging stations in Oslo are extensive.
Petrol stations sit on main roads, and the city has a strong charging network. Apps like PlugShare help you find fast chargers before longer journeys.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are calm and follow rules closely.
Speeds are moderate, and drivers leave plenty of space. Winter weather can reduce visibility, so keep headlights on and slow down on icy stretches, especially outside the city.
