Traffic in Norway moves on the right-hand side, which will feel familiar to most US drivers, especially at roundabouts and unmarked intersections.
Rental agencies and local authorities in Norway commonly ask for your passport, your original driver's license, and an International Driving Permit translation document at pickup or during a roadside check. Carrying all three together helps avoid delays — see our full documents checklist.
Entry, driving, and car-rental requirements can change and vary by destination. Always confirm current rules with the relevant embassy, consulate, or local authority before you travel.
