Norway has more than 70 years experience in using road toll payment as a financial instrument for building bridges, tunnels and roads. During the last 20 years it has become an increasingly important way of financing road projects.
If you are planning to stay in Norway for less than three months, "Visitors' Payment" is an easy way to pay toll:
AutoPASS is another way to pay toll in Norway. AutoPASS is an electronic payment system, where you use an AutoPASS tag as the means of payment. Foreign vehicles can also utilise AutoPASS, and thisarrangement is useful if you plan to stay in Norway for more than three months. To get an AutoPASS tag you:
Each time you pass through a toll station the fee is deducted from your account. When you leave Norway you can return the AutoPASS tag by standard mail to the toll road operator at the same time as you terminate your agreement. You will then receive your deposit back and any remainder on your account.
Most toll stations in Norway are automatic and ready to drive through without stop. All vehicles without AutoPASS contract or "Visitors' Payment" will have their license plate photographed. An invoice will be sent by mail to the owner of the car, at no extra charge. This also applies for foreign vehicles.
You can also pay toll at facilities such as petrol stations close to the toll station within three working days (after passing the toll point). Look for the sign: "Kr-service".
Some toll stations have AutoPASS-lanes and lanes for manual payment. Please be aware that you risk a fine if you drive through in the AutoPASS-lanes without an AutoPASS contract or "Visitors' Payment". Remember you can pay with your credit card up to 14 days after passing.
