Driving in Norway: What You Need to Know

Norwegians drive on the right-hand side of the road, unlike in the UK where driving is on the left. So be prepared for this switch. The general speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/h and on highways is 80 km/h.

• Extra Caution: During the winter months, icy roads make driving conditions challenging so be sure to have winter tyres.
• Be Aware: Random Breath tests can be conducted by Norwegian police at any time or any place. So, never drink and drive!

Recommended Car Classes

For the rugged terrains of Norway, we recommend SUVs or 4x4 vehicles for a safe and comfortable ride. For easy parking and driving through city centres, compact cars are your best bet.
