The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Oslo are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Norway ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Norway are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
“Winding” is one of the main distinguishing features of Norwegian roads. Road signs that warn drivers of dangerous turns and remind to slow down can be seen almost everywhere. Do not forget to treat them seriously.
The majority of roads in the country are free. Some additional fees are charged only for driving on certain sections of the roads. There are also toll tunnels and bridges. All toll roads are equipped with special barriers and payment points, so driving on such roads without paying is simply impossible.
There are more than 40 toll roads in the country in total, and more than a half of them are equipped with gates. Drivers can pay the tolls in any convenient way: by credit card, by cash through special electronic machines, or paying directly to cashier (in case you need change). Many local drivers have special AutoPASS devices installed in their cars. These devices enable automated payments.
