Driving in Norway

Driving in Norway offers its unique experiences. Remember, they drive on the right and the driver's seat is on the left side of the car, unlike in the United Kingdom. Always carry a valid driving licence, registration document and proof of insurance with you.

• Speed Limits: Generally set at 50km/h in built-up areas, 80km/h on open roads, and 110km/h on motorways, unless otherwise signposted.
• Tolls: Be prepared for numerous toll roads. These tolls can be paid at the booths.
• Winter Tyres: From November to April, it's a must for cars to be equipped with winter tyres. Check with your rental agency about this.
