Payment
In Norway there are three toll payment options:

1. Just Pass Through (up to 3.5 tonnes)
For stays up to 2 months nothing is in fact required.
When passing a toll gate (‘bomstasjon’) no stopping is required to continue the journey. In this case the licence plate is scanned, after
which the bill is sent automatically within four to six months.
Bills are collected through Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
Overdue accounts risk a penalty in the amount of 300 NOK.
Take note: manual payment is still required at a small number of small toll stations. Those who fail to stop and pay are liable for a
penalty in the amount of 300 NOK.

Norway 2/2
2. AutoPASS
In case of stays in excess of two months, visitors to Norway who are in possession of a credit card may use the automatic payment
system (Visitor's Payment). Before departing, first register at www.autopass.no, after which the tolls due are debited direct on your
account. This agreement is valid for a period until three months.
Another option is to buy an electronic pass at the toll companies. The costs are 300 NOK, deducted automatically when passing a toll
station. Any possible credit remaining will be remitted to your account after 85 days.

3. EasyGo
EasyGo is a very convenient system for visits to various Scandinavian countries. It can be used to pay most bridges and toll roads in
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The system combines the electronic payment systems BroBizz (Sweden) and AutoPASS (Norway).
EasyGo operates by way of a transmitter positioned behind the windscreen. When approaching a toll station, follow the
BroBizz/AutoPASS/EasyGo sign, after which the toll due is subtracted from your account via the toll box.
