Fares by length class
AutoPASS ferries price by the vehicle's total length including any trailer, not by type. The fares below are the ordinary rate without an agreement; an electric car under six metres pays 70 per cent of that figure, and an AutoPASS tag gives 10 per cent off. Passengers go free.
| Class | Fare |
|---|---|
| AP1 (up to 6 m) Car, van, car with a small trailer | NOK 116 |
| AP2 (6–8 m) Car with caravan, small motorhome | NOK 257 |
| AP3 (8–10 m) Motorhome, car with a large caravan | NOK 352 |
| AP4 (10–12.5 m) Large motorhome, lorry | NOK 425 |
| AP5 (12.5–14.5 m) Lorry, coach | NOK 482 |
| Electric car (up to 6 m) Zero-emission, 70 % of AP1 | NOK 81 |
| AP1 with an AutoPASS agreement 10 % off with a valid agreement | NOK 104 |
| Motorcycle Motorcycle and moped | NOK 43 |
Not sure of the class: a car with a caravan is rarely under eight metres, a motorhome rarely under seven. Pick the length in the calculator above and the crossing is priced correctly.
The crossing and the sailings
41 min on board, sailings every 20 minutes in the daytime. The quay on the Vestnes side is called Furneset, and that is the name on the signs and in the timetable. The road around the fjord via Åndalsnes is 197 km and almost three hours — worth it only when the ferry is cancelled, and that is when Roadme shows it.
Paying and discounts
- AutoPASS agreement: the car is read automatically, 10 per cent off, invoiced afterwards. The same tag as at the toll stations.
- AutoPASS ferry card: prepaid, 50 per cent off for private customers and 40 for businesses. Worth it for anyone who crosses weekly.
- No agreement: the plate is photographed and the invoice comes by post — from Epass24 for foreign cars — or you pay on board where there is a ticket collector.
- Electric cars: 70 per cent of the ordinary AP1 fare, not half. A zero-emission vehicle longer than six metres pays 50 per cent. Plug-in hybrids count as petrol or diesel.
Without the ferry
Around the fjord via Åndalsnes, E136 and E39: 197 km, 2 h 52 min, NOK 333 for a petrol car in fuel and tolls. The calculator shows the detour, priced, when the crossing is cancelled.
The whole drive, not just the ferry
The ferry is one item. Roadme puts fuel and tolls on the same bill, shows the next departures on every crossing, and tells you when a sailing is cancelled. Ferries in Norway and the whole bill.
