Car Rental in Norway

All rentals include a standard insurance policy and include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP). This CDW and TP insurance waives liability in case of damage or loss to the rental vehicle in excess of approx. £1100 (NOK 10000) for standard vehicles. Excesses are charged locally in Norwegian Krona.

Clients should take careful note of the standard exclusions that apply to vehicles hired in Norway. Please note that driving under the influence of any intoxicants will invalidate the insurance.

When collecting the vehicle the car rental company will offer you to take an upgraded insurance policy in order to reduce excess. This is charged at NOK 120 per day and will reduce the excess up to £555 (NOK 5000).

You may want to consider taking an upgraded cover with Insurance4CarHire, which must be purchased before your departure from the UK. Take advantage of an excess protection package from just £3.99 per day or an annual policy from £39.99.
