Vehicle rental prices in Norway are startling.The lowest quote I received was for a three-day van rental. That would cover our needs during our stay in the Trondheim-Verdal area while visiting relatives and seeing places dear to Grandma Lena. The cost translates into $692 and includes 600 "free" kilometers or 372 miles. Gas costs translate to $8.94/gallon.
Of course, when we divide out these costs out between six people over three days, the price per person per day is less overwhelming. Nonetheless, we come to appreciate the relative "cheap" travel costs at home in the USA. We also understand the European push for public transportation.
