Collect it yourself
Full control, but often requires an extra flight, train or car journey and significant time.
How can you transport a car between cities?
There are three common options: collect the car yourself, send it on a vehicle transporter or let another driver drive it. The best choice depends on whether the car can be driven, how quickly it must arrive, your flexibility and the total journey cost.
Vehicle transporter
Suitable when the car should not be driven or you need professional truck or trailer transport.
Driver via Hjemferd
Fits when the vehicle is roadworthy and a driver wants to travel in the same direction.
How to relocate your car with Hjemferd
Describe the vehicle and route
Add pickup, destination, timing, vehicle information and practical terms.
Make the trip attractive
Be flexible on pickup when possible and clearly state what you cover for fuel, charging, tolls and other costs.
Review booking requests
The driver proposes a pickup time. You approve or decline before contact details are shared.
Agree pickup and delivery
Confirm insurance, authorisation, keys, documentation and how the vehicle will be handed over.
Moving cars between branches and customers
For businesses, the need can arise every day: a rental car is at the wrong station, a dealer sold a car to a customer in another city, a trade-in must reach the right branch or a company car needs moving to a new user. Hjemferd collects these journeys in one place for drivers.
You do not need to order a full transport service for every vehicle. Publish the need, let interested drivers request it and approve the option that fits. For frequent or high volumes, maintain internal routines for authorisations, insurance, handover and delivery inspection.
Checklist before someone else drives the car
- Confirm that insurance covers the driver and the specific journey, including any excess.
- Check the driving licence and any requirements for age, driving history or vehicle type.
- Document mileage, charge/fuel level and visible damage with photos.
- Agree keys, vehicle documents, authorisation, pickup, delivery and contact persons.
- Make clear who covers fuel, charging, tolls, ferries and other expenses.
Car relocation between Norwegian cities – and Sweden
Hjemferd can be used for short and long distances as long as a driver wants the route. Typical needs can include Oslo–Bergen, Bergen–Stavanger, Trondheim–Oslo, Kristiansand–Stavanger or other combinations between cities, airports, dealers and branches.
Journeys to or from Sweden can also be relevant. For cross-border moves, clarify insurance, authorisation, documentation and any tax or registration requirements before the trip.
FAQ about moving a car between cities
How do I move a car from Oslo to Bergen?
You can collect it yourself, use a transporter or list it on Hjemferd to find a driver who wants the route. Hjemferd fits when the car can be driven and timing can be agreed.
Can a car dealer use Hjemferd?
Yes. Dealers and other businesses can create a provider account and list vehicles that need moving between branches or to customers.
What if the car cannot be driven?
Then use a vehicle transporter, trailer, recovery service or other professional transport that moves the vehicle without driving it on the road.
Can I move a car between Norway and Sweden?
It can be possible when a driver wants the route, but the parties must first clarify insurance, authorisation, documentation and border requirements.
