- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): 700 kr - 1,100 kr (€66 - €105). Use the official taxi rank with licensed drivers and metered or fixed prices. Confirm the approximate fare before starting. Unlicensed drivers sometimes approach passengers inside or just outside the terminal; walk past them and use the marked rank.
- Best alternative: Flytoget airport express train or Vy regional trains to Oslo Central Station (230 kr (€21.68))
- Buy a ticket in the Ruter app before boarding, or validate paper tickets at machines on the platform or inside the tram/bus. No tap-in/tap-out system with contactless cards; you must have a valid ticket activated before travel. Inspectors can fine you even if you intended to pay. Fine without a valid ticket: 1,500 kr (€141.38).
- Tipping is not expected in Norway. Rounding up or leaving 5-10% is appreciated but optional in restaurants. Tipping taxi drivers is uncommon. Service is included in prices.
- No cover or bread charges are customary in Oslo; prices are shown including service. Menus must show prices. If a menu has no prices, ask or leave.
- Always choose to be charged in NOK and decline dynamic currency conversion when offered at ATMs or card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks over standalone independent machines, which can carry higher fees. Cards are widely accepted, so many travelers carry little cash.
