Oslo Cheap Car Rentals - OSL

If you arrive at the Oslo Airport, renting a car is simple because there are several car rental agencies with counters in the terminal, including Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and SIXT. Their counters are located on the west side of the airport’s arrival hall, near the rail station. Most rental car companies in Oslo require that the renter be at least 19 years of age, however, anyone under 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. Fire and third party liability insurance is required and drivers may elect to purchase additional coverage if they desire. Because of insurance regulations, there are some restrictions on luxury car driving in Norway, so if you plan on driving in areas other than in the city of Oslo, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the restrictions.

The main corridor that runs north and south in Oslo is E6 and E18 runs east and west. While driving in Oslo, be sure to watch out for streetcars. They generally have the right of way over both cars and pedestrians because they have a long braking time. If you happen to get in their way, they’ll let you know with a loud warning.
