The Norwegian coast, with time to stay and written rental permission arranged first.

Use in Finland is included. Driving in Norway or Sweden requires prior written permission for the specifically agreed countries and named permitted months. The permit costs EUR 50 for each separately agreed permitted month. It may cover all or only part of the rental. Trips within the same permitted month do not change the price: a four-month rental with one permitted month costs EUR 50 for the permit; four permitted months cost EUR 200. The permit does not expand insurance or roadside-assistance coverage. Kaltio Rent grants permission only after confirming that the vehicle's insurance and roadside assistance are suitable for the agreed countries.
