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 178 |
| AP2 (6–8 m) Car with caravan, small motorhome | NOK 390 |
| AP3 (8–10 m) Motorhome, car with a large caravan | NOK 514 |
| AP4 (10–12.5 m) Large motorhome, lorry | NOK 615 |
| AP5 (12.5–14.5 m) Lorry, coach | NOK 678 |
| Electric car (up to 6 m) Zero-emission, 70 % of AP1 | NOK 147 |
| AP1 with an AutoPASS agreement 10 % off with a valid agreement | NOK 168 |
| Motorcycle Motorcycle and moped | NOK 61 |
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
23 min on board, sailings every 15 minutes in the daytime. The short, frequent ferry north of Stavanger — and the one that is going away: Rogfast, the world's longest undersea road tunnel, is being built under the Boknafjord to replace it. Until it opens, this is the road north from Stavanger.
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
There is no practical road around the Boknafjord for this crossing. If the ferry is cancelled, Roadme says so and shows the next sailing that runs.
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.
