KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oslo
- Cheap Oslo car rentals come in handy for the vacationers in the city wishing to do a bit of sightseeing. Hit the road with assured comfort and get to explore popular destinations with these car rentals. 47 miles away, get to see the beautiful city of Sarpsborg. Destinations to check out here include Borgarsyssel Museum and Skjeberg Church. Fredrikstad being 50 miles away has more than enough to keep you interested. The popular picks here are Town Model Train Center and Old Fredrikstad Golf Club. Nature fanatics will love Mt. Floyen. Its serenity and richness will have you in tune with mother nature. It's only 186 miles away from Oslo.
- Visitors arriving either as individuals or with their families at Oslo Central Station do not need to worry about how to go about gallivanting the city. Oslo Central Station being the major train station with huge arrivals, cheap Oslo car rentals are in turn strategically situated right there for the traveler’s convenience. You can go for Hertz Oslo Sentralstasjon which is at Jernbanetorget 1, 0154, or opt for Dollar Car Rental situated at Oslo Railway Station, 0154 Oslo. First rent A Car Norway AS is another common alternative located at Jernbanetorget 1, 0154 Oslo.
- Drivers of cheap Oslo car rentals should be notified of the car-restricted zones in the city to avoid encountering penalties. Vital locations such as near schools and parks are considered car-restricted zones, therefore, drivers should be keen on this. Areas near the city center are known to be pedestrian-only routes and friendly to cyclists, as a result, cars are strictly not allowed close to the city center. Oslo is popular for its car-free policy so be sure to familiarize yourself with the regulations before driving through the city.
- One of the major advantages of renting a car during your time in Oslo is that it allows you to be free to pop between all of the city’s wonderful sites. For instance, the Oslo Fjord is just outside of the city and is within quick and easy reach if you have car. With a car you can even explore the area by yourself instead of being stuck on a planned group tour.
- Planning on driving during your time in Oslo? Then your first step is to pick up a rental car after your flight lands at Oslo Airport. Travelers will find the rental car desks located in the P10 parking lot on level U2.
- If you are arriving in the winter, make sure then that you are prepared for snowy roads. Though the roads are very well-maintained throughout Norway, snow can still pile up quickly at times. Drivers are recommended to check the weather ahead of time before embarking on any major journeys and to be prepared for the weather to turn if there is snow in the forecast.
- Rush hour traffic in Oslo is not the most severe but it can certainly put a damper on your day. For travelers looking to avoid the congestion, they are best off avoiding the road between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, if you must hit the road during those times, make sure to avoid E6 and E18 since they are two of the most congested roads in Oslo.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Oslo for $59 or less
- Book your rental car in Oslo at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Oslo are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Oslo
What type of car is recommended for driving in Oslo?
Smaller vehicles such as compacts, sedans, and coupes are by far the best options for travelers looking to drive in Oslo.

4.8 Mediocre
Aug 2016
Pros:
We drove a Volvo V70 in great condition.Cons:
I was an hour late for pick up and they had given away my car claiming this standard practice and comparing it to a hotel giving away your room if your are late (which has never happened to me). The only option they offered was an upgrade from a compact car to a luxury station wagon at 300NOK extra a day. They agreed on reducing the additional charge to 100NOK a day because they had made no attempt to contact me before giving away my car, but the whole experience was very negative. Between the upgrade, extra mileage, and the unexpected daily toll system fee, our rental cost double the price quoted on kayak.10.0 Wonderful
Jul 2016
Pros:
The Ford Galaxy was great for my group of 5 adults. The diesel motor is quiet,powerful and quite economic despite the large load.We drove through the mountains to Bergen and it performed well. The service at the Sixt outlet in Oslo was good although some explanation on the navigation system would have been helpful.Cons:
The Sixt outlet at the Bergen airport was a bit confusing to find but the personal were very nice to deal with once found.2.0 Poor
May 2016
Pros:
I reserved an "economy" car, but was given a Mercedes Benz with less than 5,000 km on it. Awesome car - but then was charged additional insurance for it.Cons:
I called a week before rental to confirm deposit amount so that I would have enough room available on credit card. Also inquired about any additional fees/deposits required at check-in (this was a rental abroad). When I showed up, the safety deposit was nearly 2x as much as was quoted, and 4x the rental price. Also, a deposit was required for toll roads - an additional $100 had to be reserved. Luckily, a friend had an extra card for emergencies and we were able to get the car. We returned the car outside office hours without a problem, but freaked when the final charge came in a week later. The "itemized" receipt was a list of codes that I couldn't decipher. I emailed the billing department (and heard back a week later), the codes were for insurances we had declined (but were applied because we were given a Mercedes), tolls, a parking ticket we never got, and the administrative fees for ticket. THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES WERE THE SAME COST AS THE ALLEGED PARKING TICKET. I'm still trying to get proof of this parking ticket but haven't heard back. Currently disputing charges with credit card. I'LL NEVER RENT WITH SIXT AGAIN.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I had some problems with my reservation and the staff member there (I think her name was Gri )?)) went above and beyond to help fix them. Ultimately it didn't work but her excellent effort is what I remember.Cons:
The rest of the staff appeared busy but I'm not sure if they were as helpful to the waiting customers - yes there was a line. Also the location is not so easy to get to unless you're aware of the metro lines.8.0 Very good

Cons:
The drop-off was a nightmare. The drop-off location was extremely difficult to find, no signage telling us where to park, where to drop the keys, etc. We had to do a lot of guessing and walking around asking and looking for help. In the end, we weren't sure we had done the right thing or that we had left the car or the keys in the right spot. The support phone number had no answer.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Dollar Car rentals is just a non existing company in Oslo central station, nobody knows about it (station information, even Hertz employees from which I was supposed to get the car, the reservation was not in their system). So I lost one day and never get the car, then had to go to the airport to get a car from another company. I don't know if it's a scam or just a bad synchronization between dollar and kayak systems, but NEVER RENT FROM DOLLAR IN OSLO.2.0 Poor
