Tolls in Norway: All information and toll routes

Mandatory toll for cars and trucks on toll routes
AutoPASS electronic toll system, no cash payment required
Reduced rates for low-emission and electric vehicles

Tolls in Norway are an important part of the financing and maintenance of the road and motorway network. They ensure that roads remain safe, developed and efficient. The electronic AutoPASS system, which organises billing on toll roads, bridges and tunnels, is responsible for collecting and managing the tolls.

The tolls are collected via the open AutoPASS system: All vehicles, including cars, motorcycles and trucks, pay the fee depending on vehicle class, weight and emissions standard. Additional fees for specific tunnels, bridges or urban zones are also billed via the system.

Norway levies a carbon component, with higher charges for vehicles with greater CO₂ emissions, while low-emissions and electric vehicles benefit from reduced rates. The system enables transparent, efficient and fair billing for all road users and offers cost control to private and commercial drivers.

In Norway, all road traffic is subject to a mandatory nationwide toll. The country operates an open toll system in which all vehicles are automatically recorded via the electronic AutoPASS system. Toll stations are located on motorways, dual carriageways, bridges, tunnels and in many cities. The toll applies to all vehicle types – from cars to buses and heavy goods vehicles. For transport companies, it is therefore crucial to register vehicles in a timely manner and to install a toll device to avoid fines and delays.

Vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes are subject to tolls

In Norway, all vehicles with a gross weight of over 3.5 tonnes are subject to tolls. These include trucks, buses and heavy goods vehicles. A mandatory transponder regulation applies to these vehicles, e.g., they must be equipped with a valid toll device and have an agreement with a recognised toll service provider. The toll is automatically collected while passing through a toll booth without having to stop.

The amount of the toll depends on various factors, including total weight, vehicle class, number of axles, emissions standard and type of route travelled. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are usually assigned to tariff group 2, which incurs higher fees than lighter vehicles. Environmentally friendly commercial vehicles, particularly electric and hybrid trucks, benefit from reduced rates. For commercial vehicles, the mandatory toll applies irrespective of the origin of the company or registration number.

Toll-exempt vehicles

In Norway, there are no exemptions to the mandatory toll. All vehicles, regardless of weight, drive type or use, are obliged to pay tolls. Exemption can only be applied for in exceptional cases - for example, for military or state vehicles. Vehicles for humanitarian or agricultural use are generally subject to tolls.

Carbon toll

Norway takes a CO₂ component into account when calculating road tolls. This means that vehicles with high CO₂ emissions are subject to a higher charge while low-emissions or zero-emission vehicles benefit from lower rates. The aim of this measure is to promote the use of climate-friendly vehicles and to achieve national climate targets in the transport sector.

The system integrates the CO₂ assessment into the existing AutoPASS billing, meaning separate carbon toll registration is not required. For freight forwarders and logistics companies, this means that investments in modern, environmentally friendly fleets pay off financially as toll costs fall in the long term.

Norway does not charge a general motorway toll, but there is a toll on certain routes, bridges, tunnels and in many cities. This should be taken into account in route planning, as the toll varies depending on vehicle class and usage. Billing is undertaken automatically by number plate recognition or by an AutoPASS chip that enables electronic billing.

For cars up to 3.5 tonnes of gross vehicle weight and camper vans under 3.5 tonnes, vehicle class 1 applies, while heavier vehicles fall into higher classes. Motorbikes in Norway are not subject to tolls. In addition, there are city tolls in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Bodo, for example, which may be time-dependent and based on a vehicle’s environmental impact.

Toll fees are used to finance infrastructure projects and are paid at toll offices or by invoice. Failure to pay can lead to significant fines. The AutoPASS system facilitates toll payment through automatic recording and central invoicing, which guarantees easy and transparent use of toll roads in Norway.

In Norway, the use of motorways, bridges, tunnels and city rings is billed via the electronic AutoPASS system. The mandatory toll applies to cars and trucks, with motorbikes exempted. Fees are based on vehicle class, weight and emissions standard, with low-emissions vehicles often benefiting from reduced rates.

The toll is collected at more than 300 toll booths with blue signs featuring a camera symbol and “Kr” for Norwegian crowns. The vehicle registration number is recorded electronically; payment on site is not possible.

In Norway, tolls are paid via the electronic AutoPASS system, which enables simple, transparent settlement. Vehicles are recorded automatically via cameras or toll boxes. Cash payment at toll booths is not possible.

For vehicles under 3.5 tonnes

Cars and camper vans up to 3.5 tonnes are subject to tolls on most motorways, bridges, tunnels and in city toll zones. Billing takes place automatically via the registration number or an AutoPASS transponder. Owners of vehicles without transponders will be billed retrospectively. In cities with several toll booths, the 1-hour rule applies, in which only one toll payment is charged per hour within the respective area. Low-emissions vehicles benefit from reduced rates or exemptions in many regions.

For vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

Trucks over 3.5 tonnes are generally charged on toll roads. The toll is calculated depending on the route and depends on vehicle class, weight, number of axles and emissions standard. Payment is made via on-board units (OBUs), AutoPASS transponders or via authorised toll service providers such as Epass24. Transport and logistics companies can bill fees via online portals or apps, which help to facilitate cost control.
