All ferries that have less than 100k passengers per year are now free, regarless of how you travel (on foot, by car, truck, etc). As for this year (2023), they made even more ferries free, regardless of how many passengers per year, so . And private roads are quite rare, so it's not an issue for most tourists. And NO, there are no private roads when entering national parks, these are free to enter for everyone.

Very useful info. 🙌🏼 just one question, which trailer are you using with your Audi?

It hurts me as a swede to admit this since swedes and danes has tried to steal Norways thunder for such a long time: But vikings came orginally from Norway. This video proves it beyond any doubt. The fjords FORCED the vikings to make boats to be able to travel inside Norway crossing the hundreds of fjords in Norway. Sweden and Denmark are both without fjords - so there was no need to invent boats there. Your video just made me realize this fact.

HI, do I need to book the *Hellesylt - Geiranger* car ferry in advance, and where should I do that? Thanks in advance.

[jatterhog]

This system is so different from Sweden where roads are free, including all road ferries, except for congestion charges in Stockholm and Gothenburg…

Hi…I`m from Malaysia. Plan to rent car in Norway. Can i buy this autopass earlier and register later to the rental car?

[kshitizkhanal]

can i park my rental car on the side of road and camp there overnight ?

[jote]

Det beste er jo at som oftest kommer faktura for passering av bomstrekninger og ferger flere måneder etter ferien. Hva er dokkers erfaring med autopass? Er det mulig å spare penger?

You don't seem to have to much understanding / knowledge of what it takes of costs for such a ferry service. You only point out how "expensive" it is for the users ....as if they are being ripped off. It is as simple as that someone must pay for the costs (at least most of it)....and that is the users ....strangely
For having that ferry service you need to:
- build the infrastructure of road leading to the ferry port....which can cost hundreds of millions (NOK) involving building both bridges and tunnels.
- build the large parking area at the ferry port....which is not as simple as just to pour out some asphalt....it can cost tens of millions
- then the construction of the ferry docking ...which can be a costly exercise....where the cost easily can be hundred million

'Then you must double the cost since there are two ferry ports...right...
- The building of the ferry itself is very expensive....costing 600-800 million.
- Then it is the cost for operating the ferry, maintenance .... and for crew.
- Also the access roads and the ferry port need maintenance ....of course with a cost.
Add up these costs ....and than divide it on the number of vehicles transported. Still the costs are so high that taxpayers have to subsidise the service. The only ferry service that don't have state subsidises is the mentioned Moss - Horten. There are 137 domestic ferry routes in Norway.

The alternative for not using the ferry service....will normally cost more ....if there are some alternative at all.... It is not for free to drive your own car. If you drive more than something like 20-30 km ...than the costs is higher than the ferry. So ask yourself which alternative is

....and no....there are no roads ...public or private roads in Norwegian national parks. The national parks are not a Disney-land ...they are established only for one purpose ....and that is to protect nature. Hence NO FORM OF MOTORISED object are allowed. No cars, no snowmobiles, no helicopter ....and you are not even allowed to fly your little drone as amateur / tourist / YT-photographer.
