Norway: Route through the Norwegian Fjords, tailor-made by car

Important remarks

- Driving in Norway: 1.Cars drive on the right-hand side and trams must be overtaken on the right. 2.Motorists must use low-beam headlights both day and night. 3.The allowed blood alcohol level is the strictest in Europe - just 0.2 mg/ml. Fines are very high and must be paid on the spot. 4.The speed limits are as follows: in built-up areas 50 km/h; on country roads 80 km/h; and on motorways 110 km/h. 5.Petrol stations are normally open from 6.00 am to 7.00 pm. 6.Parking is not allowed on main streets. This is why there are many municipal parking areas. Parking zones have different colours. You can park for one hour in yellow zones; two hours in grey zones; and three hours in brown zones. 7.Norway has a people-oriented road culture, where pedestrians and cyclists have priority.Pedestrians expect you to slow down or stop when they're crossing the road and cyclists don't always follow traffic rules. Please keep the most unprotected travellers in mind when driving on Norwegian roads. 8.Roads are mostly toll roads. You can pay for tolls either manually or with the AutoPASS, whereby automatic payment is taken once you've registered your car and your credit card on the website https://www.autopass.no/en/visitors-payment. We strongly recommend the AutoPASS. A fixed amount is withheld that will be discounted as you go through a toll and press the AutoPASS button (any surplus will be returned to you eighty-five days later). You can activate it up to three days after having passed through your first toll booth. If you opt for manual payment, you can pay for the tolls you've already passed through at petrol stations. You'll know at which petrol stations you can pay when you see a sign that says 'Kr-service' (usually Esso petrol stations).

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- The ferry tickets required for the car journey are not included in the trip and, depending on the time of year, your vehicle and the vessel or ferry you choose, the trip will have different dates and duration. It is essential that you consult schedules and rates on the shipping companies' websites before selecting the start date of your trip, in order to be able to plan your trip more accurately. We would like to remind you that short journeys in Norway, less than one hour, cannot be booked on the website, where you can find explanatory timetables. When you arrive at the boarding area, you will see lines marked on the ground and you will board the ferry with your vehicle in order of arrival. When the ferry is full, you then wait for the next ferry. This service is usually open until 19.00 or 20.00, depending on the date. To avoid running out of spaces on this section of the fjord, we advise you to arrive with your car in the queue by no later than 16.00.
