What Is the Mileage Limit and How Many Kilometers Does Long-Term Car Rental Include?

leiebil uten kilometergrense

Long-term car rental with a mileage limit is now the industry standard. Are you wondering what the mileage limit actually is? Do you know the consequences of exceeding it? Below you will find answers to these and other questions about mileage limits in long-term car rental agreements.

Information about the mileage limit is included in the basic terms of any contract with a car rental company. So what is a mileage limit? It is the distance a customer can drive the rental car within the agreed price. The mileage limit is usually defined on a monthly or annual basis, and less often on a daily basis.

It is worth noting that mileage limits are not specific only to long-term rentals. The mileage limit is a universal concept in car rental and also applies to short-term rentals.

How Much Is the Mileage Limit in Long-Term Car Rental?

Are you planning to rent a car for an extended period? The first step is to check what mileage limit the rental company sets. At Oslo Bilutleie, the mileage limit included in the fee ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 km per month. Thanks to our flexible policy, each driver can adjust this parameter to their individual needs, taking into account their most common travel destinations. Learn more about our car hire Oslo options.

Exceeding the Mileage Limit and Its Consequences

Renting a car with a mileage limit means the driver must keep track of the distance covered with the rental vehicle. Why is this important? The reason is simple: exceeding the agreed mileage limit results in an additional charge. Information about the rate is also included in the contract—for example, NOK 3 or NOK 5 per extra kilometer. Frequently exceeding the limit can make long-term car rental in Oslo less cost-effective. This is also the main reason why it is important to determine the optimal mileage limit in advance.

If you decide to rent a car with a mileage limit, you should consider the following factors:

  • Monthly or annual distance driven so far – a simple way to estimate how many kilometers you typically cover within a given time period.
  • Routes you plan to take – mileage-limited rental is not only for businesses. Private customers should also plan their routes to determine the optimal mileage limit.
  • The option to amend the agreement – if you expect your needs to increase, it is best to choose a rental company with a flexible policy.
