Car Rental Companies
Requirements to Rent a Vehicle
To rent a car, you must meet the following standard requirements set by most rental agencies in Norway:
- Driving licence: You must present a valid national driving licence held for at least one year. Licences issued in EU/EEA countries are accepted. For drivers from other countries, it is recommended (and sometimes mandatory) to present an International Driving Permit (IDP) together with the original licence.
- Minimum age: Generally 19 years, although this varies depending on the company and vehicle category (some require 25 or even 28 years for premium models). Drivers under 25 are usually subject to an additional “young driver” surcharge.
- Credit card: A credit card in the name of the main driver is required to place the security deposit (excess pre-authorisation).
- Additional identification: A valid passport or identity document is required (national ID card for EU citizens).
- Winter tyres: By law in this region, all rental vehicles are fitted with studded or dedicated winter tyres during the snow season (October to April).
