Oslo car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Oslo 
ShaunMay 2024
If you're new to electric cars, research how to charge them before renting. If you can't read Norwegian, have Google Translate Camera on hand to quickly translate signs. Read signs everywhere you park, as most seem to be paid parking. Be prepared to pay for toll roads outside of Oslo.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Driving in Oslo was very easy. Go with another rental than Hertz.
PJun 2023
Easy driving. Use apps to find charging stations for electric cars.
MargoMay 2023
Road signs are a bit tough getting out of the city but then it was easy driving!

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oslo

  • One of the major advantages of renting a car during your time in Oslo is that it allows you to be free to pop between all of the city’s wonderful sites. For instance, the Oslo Fjord is just outside of the city and is within quick and easy reach if you have car. With a car you can even explore the area by yourself instead of being stuck on a planned group tour.
  • Planning on driving during your time in Oslo? Then your first step is to pick up a hire car after your flight lands at Oslo Airport. Travelers will find the hire car desks located in the P10 parking lot on level U2.
  • If you are arriving in the winter, make sure then that you are prepared for snowy roads. Though the roads are very well-maintained throughout Norway, snow can still pile up quickly at times. Drivers are recommended to check the weather ahead of time before embarking on any major journeys and to be prepared for the weather to turn if there is snow in the forecast.
  • Rush hour traffic in Oslo is not the most severe but it can certainly put a damper on your day. For travelers looking to avoid the congestion, they are best off avoiding the road between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, if you must hit the road during those times, make sure to avoid E6 and E18 since they are two of the most congested roads in Oslo.
  • Historically, Norway has predominantly used cars with manual transmissions and most of the locals are taught to drive with them. If you are looking for an automatic gear shift with your cheap car hire in Oslo, these days the rental companies have plenty in stock, as opposed to other cities in Europe where they are considered slightly more rare. However, it is still advisable to book in advance and double check there is an automatic transmission for your vehicle choice.
  • Take your Oslo car hire out for a spin on the E18 and visit the town of Vinterbro for the day in just about 30min. Here you can find the TusenFryd Family Park filled with adrenalin-spiking fairground rides. There is also the wild Badefryd Water Park to enjoy if you are visiting in warmer months.
  • If you are driving with small children in your cheap car hire in Oslo, you will find that the road rules are very strict when it comes to their safety. If your child is under 36 kgs or 135 cm in height they will have to be restrained in one of three types of car seats. Babies under 9 kgs need to be backwards-facing in a small baby car seat, larger babies under 18 kgs can be forward facing in a baby car seat and thereafter the child will be in a restrained booster seat. At no stage can the child sit in the passenger seat.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Oslo for £34 or less
  • Book your car hire in Oslo at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Oslo are around 63% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Oslo

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Oslo?

    Smaller vehicles such as compacts, sedans, and coupes are by far the best options for travelers looking to drive in Oslo. The city is designed for smaller vehicles, so drivers of large cars will find the downtown core to be ill-suited for them. However, in the outer areas of the city, large cars become a bit more common. So, if your plan is to go on a broader Norwegian adventure, then perhaps a medium-sized car would be more appropriate.

  • What’s the speed limit in Oslo?

    For densely populated residential areas in Oslo speed limits are typically 50 km/h (31 mph), while in less populated areas they go up to 80 km/h (50 mph). On major motorways the speed limit will get up to 110 km/h (68 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Oslo?

    Streetside parking and parking garages are the most common forms of parking available in Oslo. In the central districts of the city, however, parking garages are by far the best option for travelers as they can easily park downtown and then take public transport to get around the popular tourist areas.

    Most car hire providers in Oslo offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Oslo, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.

  • Is it worth hiring any add-ons with my car hire in Oslo?

    While Oslo doesn’t suffer from the worst congestion, navigation in a foreign city is always daunting, For a small daily fee you can hire a GPS from your car rental company that will help you find your way around, decipher the shortest routes to destinations and even avoid congested areas. It is also worth checking that your car hire in Oslo comes with a spare tyre and a tool kit. Snow chains should be considered if you are planning on going up the mountains in winter.

  • How old must I be to hire a car in Oslo?

    Oslo has one of the youngest car hire age allowances at 19 years of age. You must have had your driver’s licence for over a year and you will need to show them a valid licence, credit card and passport if you are not local. Many companies do, however, charge a young driver surcharge fee to anyone under 25 and most agencies will not allow you to hire a luxury car if you are under 25 years of age either.

Isak's customer service was exceptional. When I told him it was my first time driving an electric car, he told me how I could charge it. He even hotspotted his cell phone so I could use his data to download the app required to use public charging stations. Unfortunately, some of his information about charging stations was incorrect, such as every gas station has them. I went to 3 Uno-X gas stations, as recommended by him so I could use my credit card to pay instead of the app, and none of them had charging stations. It was a bit difficult for me to exit the car rental parkade and find the correct drop-off spots, but that may be due to my lack of experience with European parkades.

Nga, Feb 2021

Pros:

Staff were helpful and friendly and pickup/drop off was easy.

Cons:

More instructions could have bee provided on how to charge our electric car - We should have been told to download an app to charge our car around town, how to actually charge the car, etc. Plus, the first EV car we were given did not charge correctly, but the second did.
