In short: Norway has no vignette. Road tolls (bompenger) are paid per passage, automatically, through the AutoPASS system or by license plate recognition at each toll point. For commercial vehicles with a maximum authorized weight of over 3,500 kg, an AutoPASS contract and an on-board unit mounted on the windshield are mandatory on the entire public road network, including for foreign-registered trucks.
If you’re venturing out on a road trip to Norway, you need to know before you leave how the toll system works: Norway doesn’t have a classic vignette, but rather a system of road tolls (bompenger) collected fully automatically through AutoPASS each time you pass a toll point.
Road Tolls in Norway in 2026: What Has Changed
From January 1, 2026, rates in the Oslo toll ring were increased: electric cars pay 21/26 NOK (off-peak / peak), gasoline cars and plug-in hybrids 38/47 NOK, and diesel cars 42/50 NOK. For trucks over 3.5 tons, the difference between emission standards remains large: 109/162 NOK for Euro 6, compared with 161/223 NOK for Euro 5 and older, while zero-emission heavy vehicles drive free of charge in Oslo.
Statens vegvesen estimates total road toll revenue for 2026 at about 17.3 billion NOK, up from 16.5 billion NOK in 2025, as new toll points open on completed road projects. For hauliers, the key rule remains unchanged: the AutoPASS unit is mandatory for commercial vehicles over 3.5 tons, and not having one is punished with 8,000 NOK at roadside checks.
In Norway, anyone who drives on toll roads has to pay, and the amounts depend on the sections traveled, the vehicle type, the fuel (diesel, gasoline, electric), and, in cities, even the time of day you drive.
Important for hauliers: commercial vehicles with a total weight of over 3.5 tons — including those registered abroad — are legally required to have an active AutoPASS contract and an on-board unit mounted on the windshield before entering Norway.
In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about paying for the Norway vignette and Norway road tolls.
Norway Toll System for All Vehicles
In Norway, all road users are required to pay the applicable road tolls. Whether or not you’re a tourist, Norway charges the corresponding road tolls.
Norway has several hundred automatic toll points (bomstasjoner), with no barriers and no cash booths: ANPR cameras read the license plate number or the AutoPASS unit at each passage. The Oslo area alone has 83 toll points, divided into three rings.
So make sure your vehicle is registered before you leave, to avoid maximum rates and additional owner identification fees.
Paying Norway Road Tolls Online
A considerable advantage of the Norwegian system is that you can register your car online before you leave. Light vehicles (under 3.5 tons) have two options: simple registration on the Epass24 platform, without an on-board unit (but with no discounts), or an AutoPASS contract with an on-board unit, which brings a 20% discount on every passage.
You can find the official details at autopass.no, and registration without an on-board unit is done on Epass24. Unregistered foreign vehicles are invoiced later through Euro Parking Collection (EPC), at the maximum rate and with an additional owner identification fee.
As a guide, in the Oslo toll ring, the rates for passenger cars in effect from January 1, 2026, are: 21 NOK off-peak / 26 NOK at peak hours for electric cars, 38/47 NOK for gasoline and plug-in hybrids, and 42/50 NOK for diesel. Peak hours are 6:30–9:00 a.m. and 3:00–5:00 p.m. on weekdays (higher rates do not apply on weekends, public holidays, or in July). For the exact cost of a specific route, use the official calculator at autopass.no.
Mandatory On-Board Unit for Hauliers
A very important point for hauliers: Norway requires all vehicles with a maximum authorized weight of over 3.5 tons used for commercial purposes — including those registered abroad — to have a valid AutoPASS contract and an on-board unit mounted on the windshield. Responsibility lies with the owner, the lessee, or the driver, and the unit can be ordered online before departure or picked up at border points (with immediate contract registration).
The AutoPASS on-board unit gives you non-stop passage through toll points and a 20% discount on every transaction, and in Oslo only one passage per hour is charged, no matter how many points you cross. For trucks over 3.5 tons, Oslo rates depend on the emission standard: 109 NOK off-peak / 162 NOK at peak hours for Euro 6, compared with 161/223 NOK for Euro 5 and older, while zero-emission trucks pay nothing.
Norway Bridge and Tunnel Tolls
In addition to regular road tolls, Norway also charges tolls for numerous bridges and tunnels. Payment is also automatic, through the AutoPASS unit or based on the license plate number read by cameras — there are no cash booths, so you don’t have to stop anywhere.
For indicative prices, see the following table:
Norway Ferry Fees
Another fee applies if you use ferries, which are very common on the Norwegian fjords. Many crossings on national roads are integrated into the AutoPASS for ferje system: with a valid AutoPASS unit you automatically get a 10% discount, and with a prepaid ferry account the discount rises to 40–50%. You’ll find indicative prices below:
Fine for Not Paying Norway Road Tolls
You need to pay close attention to the toll rules, because all passages are recorded by cameras, and the police, customs, and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen) carry out roadside checks. For commercial vehicles over 3.5 tons driving without a valid AutoPASS unit, the penalty is 8,000 NOK (about 680 euros). Unregistered light vehicles don’t receive a direct fine, but they pay the maximum rate plus identification fees, and unpaid invoices are sent for international debt collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Road Tolls in Norway
Is there a vignette in Norway?
No, Norway has no vignette valid for days or a year. Tolls are paid exclusively per passage, through road tolls called bompenger, collected automatically at each toll point crossed. There are no barriers and no cash booths: cameras read the license plate number or the AutoPASS unit on the windshield, and the amount depends on the route, the vehicle type, and the fuel.
How much does one passage through the Oslo toll ring cost?
From January 1, 2026, an electric passenger car pays 21 NOK off-peak and 26 NOK at peak hours, a gasoline or plug-in hybrid car 38/47 NOK, and a diesel car 42/50 NOK. Vehicles over 3.5 tons pay 109/162 NOK if they are Euro 6 and 161/223 NOK if they are Euro 5 or older, while zero-emission vehicles pass free of charge.
What are the peak hours for Oslo tolls?
Higher rates apply on weekdays, between 6:30 and 9:00 a.m. and between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. On weekends, public holidays, and throughout July, no peak-hour surcharge is charged. In addition, in Oslo only one passage per hour is charged on the inner ring and the Oslo ring, and one per hour on the city boundary, no matter how many toll points you cross.
What fine do you risk if you drive without an AutoPASS unit?
A commercial vehicle with a maximum authorized weight of over 3,500 kg caught at a roadside check without a valid AutoPASS unit receives a fine of 8,000 NOK. Checks are carried out by the police, customs, and Statens vegvesen, and the penalty also applies when the unit number is linked to a different license plate number or when the user agreement is no longer valid. Unregistered passenger cars don’t receive a direct fine, but they pay the maximum rate.
Who must have an AutoPASS unit, and who is liable if it’s missing?
The obligation covers all vehicles with a maximum authorized weight of over 3,500 kg registered to a company or used for commercial purposes, whether Norwegian or foreign, and applies to the entire public road network. Liability rests equally with the owner, the lessee, and the driver. Motorhomes and vehicles registered to private individuals and used exclusively for personal purposes are exempt.
How do I pay road tolls in Norway if I’m driving my personal car?
You have two options, both to be handled before you leave. You can register your vehicle and bank card on the Epass24 platform, without an on-board unit, or you can sign an AutoPASS contract with an on-board unit, which brings a 20% discount on passenger car passages. If the vehicle isn’t registered at all, the invoice comes later through Euro Parking Collection, at the maximum rate, plus an owner identification fee.
Are ferries in Norway also paid through AutoPASS?
Yes, many crossings on national roads operate through the AutoPASS for ferje system. With a valid AutoPASS unit but no ferry subscription, you automatically get a 10% discount on the crossing. If you sign a prepaid contract and top up your ferry account, the discount rises to 40–50% of the ticket price. Payment is automatic, with the unit read when boarding the ferry.
