Bus & Coach Hire in Norway

Norway's coach hire market is shaped by the country's dramatic geography. Oslo is the largest city and main commercial hub. Bergen is the gateway to the western fjords — Sognefjord, Hardangerfjord, Geirangerfjord — which together form the most spectacular coach touring country in northern Europe. Tromso in the Arctic north is the base for Northern Lights tourism from October to March. Norway is one of the two most expensive coach hire markets in Europe alongside Switzerland, reflecting very high wage costs and an extensive road toll network.

Norwegian coach operators are regulated by Statens vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) and Samferdselsdepartementet. Norway is not an EU member but is in the Schengen Area and EEA, meaning operators hold equivalent international transport licences and can operate across Nordic borders. Norway uses the Norwegian Krone (NOK). Road tolls on motorways, through tunnels, and on urban cordon systems add to operator costs and are factored into all quotes.

Bus Hire in Norway: Common Questions
