Why the order is a sum in kroner
Any route planner can sort stops by distance. With tolls, ferries and bridges on the way, that is not good enough. Drive into and out of the Oslo toll ring twice instead of once and the hour rule is gone — you pay both. Take the ferry across the fjord one way and the bridge the other and you have paid for a ferry you did not need. Reach the toll station at 08:55 instead of 09:05 and the passage costs half as much again. In Stockholm and Gothenburg the congestion tax also depends on where and when you pass, and in Denmark every crossing of the Great Belt Bridge is paid again. Roadme prices every leg between your stops on fuel, tolls and ferries, and picks the order with the lowest sum. Then the whole drive is calculated again in that order, with real arrival times — and that is the number you see.
How to use it
- From is where you start. It stays put.
- The last place is where you finish. It stays put too.
- The stops in between are the places you need to visit, in any order. Up to 50 places in all.
- Going home again? Add your start address as the last place, and the drive becomes a round trip.
- Choose the vehicle, the tag and the departure time. Rush hour and ferry departures depend on the clock.
- Press Find the best order. The stops sort themselves, the map draws the drive, and the card at the top says what the order saved.
Six drives, typed and sorted
Calculated with Roadme on 25 September 2026 for a departure on Tuesday 29 September. «As typed» is the order the stops were entered; «cheapest» is the order Roadme found. Petrol car at 08:00, 7-metre diesel motorhome at 09:00, all in Norwegian kroner.
| Drive | As typed | Cheapest | Saved | Km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oslo to Molde by the fjords Oslo, Geiranger, Lom, Ålesund, Molde · petrol car | NOK 2,216 | NOK 1,780 | NOK 436 (20 %) | −238 |
| The same drive in a 7-metre motorhome | NOK 3,131 | NOK 2,513 | NOK 618 (20 %) | −238 |
| West coast with three ferries Bergen, Haugesund, Stord, Stavanger, Odda · petrol car | NOK 1,612 | NOK 1,453 | NOK 159 (10 %) | −101 |
| Zealand, Funen and Jutland Copenhagen, Odense, Køge, Vejle, Roskilde · petrol car | NOK 2,817 | NOK 1,626 | NOK 1,191 (42 %) | −247 |
| Southern Finland Helsinki, Tampere, Porvoo, Turku, Lahti · petrol car | NOK 1,551 | NOK 1,048 | NOK 503 (32 %) | −268 |
| Calls around Stockholm Stockholm, Täby, Södertälje, Solna, Nacka · petrol car | NOK 239 | NOK 239 | 0 | 0 |
The drive that explains the whole idea
Look at the west-coast row. The cheapest order has more toll passages, not fewer: seven against five, and NOK 218 in tolls against 188. It still wins by NOK 159, because it is a hundred kilometres shorter and saves more on fuel than it loses on tolls. A planner that only avoided tolls would have picked the wrong order. That is the difference between counting toll stations and adding up the bill.
The one that crosses the Great Belt twice, not four times
Typed as Copenhagen, Odense, Køge, Vejle, Roskilde, the Danish drive goes back and forth over the Great Belt Bridge four times: NOK 1,357 in bridge fares alone. In the cheapest order — Køge first, over to Vejle, back through Odense — it crosses twice, pays NOK 678 and drives 247 kilometres less. NOK 1,191 saved, the biggest of the six.
And the one that changes your ferry
On the motorhome drive to Molde the new order changes which ferry you take: Linge–Eidsdal instead of Festøya–Solavågen. The ferry bill goes up by NOK 13, the distance down by 238 kilometres, and the drive gets NOK 618 cheaper. Not a decision you make in your head with a map in front of you.
When the order stays as you typed it
Around Stockholm the five calls were typed in no particular order, and Roadme left them that way. It only moves your stops when the new order saves at least NOK 50 and at least 3 per cent; below that the two orders cost practically the same, and the order you wrote wins. The same happens when the stops lie along one road: the order you would pick yourself is already the cheapest.
The saving comes when the stops lie in several directions, when a fjord can be crossed two ways, or when a toll ring lies between them. The more spread out the drive, the more the order is worth.
Motorhomes, trailers and vehicles over 3.5 tonnes
Choose the vehicle before you sort. A nine-metre motorhome pays a different ferry class from a car, and a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes pays the heavy rate at Norwegian tolls, more than double the car rate. Most motorhomes are the exception: registered as M1 and carrying an AutoPASS tag, they pay the car rate whatever they weigh. Then an order that avoids one toll ring and one ferry can be cheaper than one that is twenty kilometres shorter. On the drive to Molde the same new order saved a petrol car NOK 436 and a 7-metre motorhome NOK 618. Driving for a business? See the business page.
Drive it in that order
In the app you drag the stops with a finger, watch the price change, and the navigator drives them in that order — announcing tolls, ferries and closed roads on the way. The whole bill for a single drive is in the calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What does the route planner do?
It finds the cheapest order to drive your stops in — priced on fuel, tolls and ferries for every leg, not just on kilometres — and shows what that saves against the order you typed.
How many stops can I add?
Up to 50 places, start and finish included. With up to eight places every order is tried and the answer is the cheapest. Above that the stops are sorted by driving time and improved step by step, and the calculator says so.
Can I return to the start?
Yes. Add your start address as the last place and the drive becomes a round trip. The start and the finish always stay put; it is the order in between that is chosen.
Is this the same as the shortest route?
No. The shortest order is often not the cheapest: one extra passage through a toll ring, or a ferry instead of a bridge, can cost more than ten extra kilometres. On our west-coast drive the cheapest order had more toll passages, not fewer, and still won by NOK 159. The planner counts in kroner.
How much can the order save?
On six drives calculated on 25 September 2026, five saved between 10 and 42 per cent: NOK 1,191 across Zealand, Funen and Jutland, NOK 503 across southern Finland, NOK 436 on a drive to Molde and NOK 618 on the same drive in a motorhome. Around Stockholm the order stayed as typed.
Does it work outside Norway?
Yes, in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and across the borders between them. In Sweden it counts the congestion tax in Stockholm and Gothenburg, in Denmark the bridges; in Finland, with no road tolls, fuel and driving time decide the order.
Is the route planner free?
Yes. Free for private use, no account, no ads, no tracking.
