When you create an AutoPASS for ferry prepayment agreement and pay an advance amount, you get an AutoPASS ferry account. After each ferry journey, payment – including discount – is deducted from your ferry account.
Prepayments can be made in the following ways:
- Invoice by post (with added fee)
- Invoice by email
- eFaktura (private customers only)
- EHF (business customers only)
- Credit card (business customers only)
About eFaktura
When paying an invoice, private customers can create an eFaktura agreement in their online bank. Business customers can not create an eFaktura agreement. For customers with eFaktura, the invoice will come with a due date, but the due date can be changed to an otherwise preferred date. The eFaktura is sent with a due date because a withdrawal date is required by the bank.
Receiving a new prepayment invoice
When the balance on your ferry account is down to approximately 25% of the advance amount, you will automatically be notified with a new invoice.
Useful information
If you want to make a new prepayment before you receive a new invoice, you can use the KID number on an old invoice. Business customers can also top up their prepayment account with a credit card via My Page. Remember that you must pay a minimum of one advance amount.
For the year 2024, Norwegian authorities have divided the prepayment amount into the following rate groups:
- Prepayment rate group 1 (MC and vehicles from 0 – 8 meters): NOK 2,000
- Prepayment rate group 2 (vehicles from 8.01 – 17.50 meters): NOK 9,900
- Prepayment rate group 3 (vehicles over 17.51 meters): NOK 18,700
After each ferry journey, payment – including discount – is deducted from your ferry account.
EXAMPLE: If a private customer’s ferry account contains a prepaid amount of NOK 2,000 and the full price of a ferry journey is NOK 70, a customer with a 50 % discount prepayment agreement will be deducted only NOK 35. The remaining amount will then be NOK 1,965.

You will automatically be notified with an invoice to top up your ferry account when your prepaid amount is down to approximately 25%. You can pay this invoice whenever you want, but to get a discount it must be paid before the balance reaches zero.
If you want to make a new prepayment before you receive a new invoice, you can use the KID number on an old invoice. Business customers can also top up their ferry account with a credit card via My Page. Remember that you must pay a minimum of one advance amount per vehicle.
Ferry cards are being phased out as a means of payment on Norwegian ferries and are currently only used on five ferry connections. Therefore, most travellers will not need a ferry card. See which ferry connections use ferry cards.
If you need a ferry card, please send us a request via our contact form, including your customer ID, licence plate number, name and address, and we will send you one. If you have more than one vehicle registered to an AutoPASS for ferry agreement, please inform us which vehicle/vehicles you need a ferry card for.
Each ferry card has a price of NOK 50.
To receive a discount the vehicle must be registered with the same payment solution as used by the individual ferry. While some ferries use the AutoPASS tag, others use the AutoPASS ferry card. A vehicle can be registered with both a tag and a ferry card in the same prepayment agreement.

How much discount do I get?
Prepayment provides the following discounts on ferry journeys:
- 50% discount for private customers

- 17% discount for foot passenger tickets on ferry connections that offer this.
Some ferry connections in Trøndelag are not included in the AutoPASS for ferry scheme.

If you travel with a ferry connection that uses the AutoPASS tag as a payment solution but your ferry account is empty, you will still receive a 10% discount on the full ticket price, but this will be deducted from your main agreement with the tag issuer (e.g. SkyttelPASS or Fremtind Service).

AutoPASS for ferry payment and discounts only apply to those who create an AutoPASS for ferry prepayment agreement and use a tag or foot passenger card as a means of payment. If you do not have this, the owner of the vehicle will receive a full price invoice and invoice fee by post.
FerryPay is a simple and invoice-free payment solution with no discounts for vehicles that do not have an AutoPASS tag or AutoPASS for ferry prepayment agreement. The credit or debit card you have registered on your agreement is automatically charged one full price ticket per ferry journey.
If you do not have any kind of agreement, the vehicle’s registration number will be read automatically and the owner of the vehicle will receive an invoice and invoice fee by post.
