What do “free rental car” and return car mean?
A return car is a vehicle that needs to be moved somewhere else. It may be a rental car returned in another city, a company car moving between branches or a privately owned car that needs relocating. When the car must be driven anyway, that need may match a driver’s journey.
Drivers do not pay to use Hjemferd itself. The phrase “free rental car” does not mean every journey expense is always zero. The car provider decides which costs are included, and the listing shows this before you request the trip.
How to find one-way car travel through Hjemferd
Check what is included
Fuel or charging, tolls, ferries, insurance and other terms can vary by vehicle.
Send a booking request
Choose your preferred pickup time. The car provider approves or declines the request.
Agree the details and drive
Once approved, both parties receive contact details and can agree the practical arrangements.
Return cars between Norwegian cities and airports
Availability changes continuously because it follows where cars actually are. Relocation needs often arise between larger cities, airports and branches, including Oslo and Gardermoen, Bergen and Flesland, Stavanger and Sola, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Tromsø and Bodø.
Oslo–Bergen is a natural route to watch when travelling between eastern and western Norway. See our dedicated route guide if that is the journey you are planning.
What can be included on a return-car trip?
A normal rental gives you more freedom to choose vehicle, date and direction. A return car works best when you can be flexible and let the available car and route shape the trip.
Fuel / charging
Some trips include fuel or charging; others include only what is already in the vehicle at pickup.
Tolls and ferries
Whether tolls and ferries are covered varies and should be shown in the listing or agreement.
Insurance
Confirm insurance, excess and any provider requirements before pickup.
Return cars, vehicle relocation and Hjemferd
Want the full explanation before booking? Read the return-car guide. If you know the relocation concept from services such as Transfercar, the basic idea is similar: a car that already needs moving is matched with a driver who wants the route. Hjemferd is built around Norwegian return-car and vehicle-relocation needs. If you need your own vehicle moved, see our car-transport guide or our pages for car providers.
FAQ about free one-way cars and return cars
Is a return car the same as a free rental car?
The terms are often used for the same kind of journey: you use a car that needs moving from A to B. Hjemferd is free for drivers, but journey costs may vary.
Do I pay for fuel and tolls?
It varies by listing. Always check what the car provider has marked as included.
Can I choose any day?
You must stay within the vehicle’s availability window. You request a pickup time and the provider must approve it.
How do I find new cars quickly?
Check the available-car page and use route alerts for journeys you care about. New cars are listed continuously.
