The fee for the e-toll device depends on where you are renting but you can expect it to be between 40.00 NOK and 48.00 NOK a day you have it activated. If you rent the vehicle for more than 10 days, you will only be charged for a maximum of 10 days and get cover for the duration of your rental.
If the e-toll device is damaged, lost or stolen, you will have to pay for a replacement. This is likely to cost from around 350.00 NOK to 600.00 NOK on top of the hire fee. If you can show the damage or loss was not in any way your fault or due to your negligence, we will refund this cost to you.
