Lead-free petrol (Blyfri 95 and 98) and diesel are widely available. Do keep in mind that the fuel prices in Northern Norway are considerably higher. LPG is more widely available in the south around Oslo than in the north. The bayonet connector is used to refill with LPG and some fuelling stations use the Italian connector (Dish).
Fuelling stations are usually open between 7 am and 10 pm. Fuelling stations at large shopping centres and supermarkets are usually stay open for longer. Fuelling stations in and around major cities are often open day and night.
You can usually refuel using a fuel dispensing machine after closing time. Tip! In more rural areas, refuel at every fuelling station you come across because the distances between fuelling stations in Norway can be vast. It is usually forbidden to take fuel with you in a reserve tank.

The charging station network in Norway has been extended but most charging points are in the south and in Oslo.

The mountain roads are narrow and winding, sometimes with steep slopes. Due to the snow, they are only accessible from mid-June to mid-October. Various roads could be closed in winter. Before travelling, check whether the mountain passes are closed.

You can travel over land from Sweden to Norway via the Øresund Bridge (oeresundsbron.com) from Copenhagen (Denmark) to Malmö, but there is also the option of travelling to Norway by ferry boat, for example via Hirtshals (Denmark). Information about sailing times, departure times and fares can be found on the shipping operator's sites, such as colorline.com and fjordline.com. Fares depend on the season and departure times, among other things. It is advisable to book in advance. Ask the shipping operator beforehand whether you can take gas bottles on the boat. It is usually forbidden to take fuel in a reserve tank on the boat. Take note! The Norwegian police conduct strict checks of vehicles coming on the ferry between Hirtshals and Kristiansand (Norway).

Dipped headlights (or daytime running lights) are compulsory during the day. At an uncontrolled intersection, traffic from the right has priority. Traffic on a roundabout has priority. Trams always have priority. On mountain roads, the driver that can move over the easiest or reverse usually gives priority. You may not have telephone in your hand behind the wheel, not even when stopped (you can call hands free).
Children under 1.50 metres in height must be in a child's car seat. Winter tyres are only compulsory for vehicles with a maximum permissible mass of over 3.5 tonnes. You must use snow chains (or winter tyres) on roads covered with snow or ice.

On main roads in some major cities, the sign 'All stans forbudt’ indicates you are not allowed to stop. In winter, summer tyres must also have a minimum tread depth of three millimetres. On narrow roads, the driver driving on the side nearest to the closest lay-by must give way. When overtaking cyclists, you must maintain a lateral distance of at least 1.5 metres. Parking is not allowed on roads with a broken white line. Cyclists may overtake vehicles other than bikes on the right.

You must have a warning triangle and safety vest in the car. A fire extinguisher is only compulsory in a car-caravan combination with a Norwegian number plate, but everyone is advised to have a fire extinguisher with them. You are also advised to take a first aid kit.

A motorhome or car-caravan combination can be a maximum of 4 metres in height, 2.55 metres wide and 19.5 metres long, the caravan itself can be up to 12 metres long. If the caravan is over 2.3 metres in width and 50 centimetres wider than the car (excluding mirrors), you must put white reflectors on the back of the mirrors. On a few smaller roads, the maximum length could be 15 metres or 12.4 metres; this is indicated by signs. For motorhomes weighing over 3.5 tonnes, winter tyres are compulsory from mid-November to end-March.

Bicycle helmets are not compulsory. Only children under 10 years may be transported on a bike.

In Norway you pay a toll on many roads. You can do that in various ways:
Visitor’s Payment: register online in advance. More information: autopass.no/visitors-payment.
AutoPASS box: if you are planning on staying in Norway for longer than two months. More information: autopass.no.
None of the above, you simply drive onto the toll road and your number plate will be registered by cameras. You will receive the bill at home within a few months.
Take note! For a small number of routes, you must pay in cash at the toll gate. So make sure you have enough cash with you.

With serious smog, the centres of Oslo and Bergen could be closed for certain vehicles. The rules differ per location.
More information: oslo.kommune.no/english and bergen.kommune.no.

Place your warning triangle at least 150 metres behind the car if it forms a hazard to other traffic. The driver must put on a safety vest. If you breakdown, call the emergency number of your breakdown assistance insurer. You can also call the Norwegian breakdown assistance service (NAF) on +47 2321 3100. You must call the police if you collide with an animal.

There is an abundance of nature, Norway is perfectly suited to walking, mountain climbing and fishing. The toilet and washing facilities are generally good. Demarcated pitches are rare. Wild camping outside recognised campsites is generally allowed. On cultivated land (such as mowing land, meadows, newly planted woods) you need the landowner's permission.
When you go camping in Norway there is a chance you will need a special card that you must present at reception. You can buy this card at the campsite in question. You usually pay per pitch, not per person. The range of groceries, amenities and recreational options is sparse compared to popular camping countries. Most campsites do have kitchens with cooking equipment for communal use. Open fires are not allowed from 15 April to 15 September.
Take note! There are very few possibilities for filling propane bottles. You are therefore advised to travel with enough gas. Keep in mind that driving with a caravan or motorhome in the Fjord region and in the mountains can be problematic. A good towing vehicle is highly recommended. You are not allowed to dispose of wastewater at the side of the road. There are plenty of service stations on the major routes.

Inland in Norway, you could be plagued by mosquitoes near lakes and rivers.
