Transport from Oslo Airport To Drammen Various Options

Up to this point, we have seen the two public transport options you have available to you, so now, let’s look over the few private options you have, namely car hire, a standard taxi cab, or a private transfer with AtoB.

For car hires, you will likely appreciate the flexibility of being able to travel at your own pace, in your own car. There are a few issues that arise with renting a car, though. The first, and most prominent, is the issue of navigating and parking. Although GPS is available almost everywhere now, it can still be tricky to get around in a foreign country, plus finding parking, especially in a large city is a nightmare. The second issue is the insurance waiver, which, although you will get back, can still be a big spend at the beginning of a trip, leaving you out of pocket before your trip has even begun.

Now, on to standard taxis. Landing at the airport, heading outside and whistling down a taxi sounds like a really easy way to get to your destination, right? Sure, although in reality it won’t be as simple. The first issue is the amount of other travellers who will have a similar idea. Oslo Airport is very large, and has numerous passengers travelling through it every day. You will likely be delayed when trying to hail a taxi. Let’s say you get one though, you may find the price a bit steep, as taxi drivers at the airport will choose to include a number of other “charges” in the final price, which you will need to pay on the spot.

To avoid all of these issues, book a private transfer with AtoB. We offer a fixed price, no insurance waiver, and an immediate pickup from the airport. Sounds awesome?

Cheapest Way from Oslo Airport to Drammen

Before we get into discussing how to book AtoB’s service, let’s first talk a bit about the cheapest method for travelling between the two destinations. As we saw above, the prices for either of the public transport offerings are affordable, yet the downside they have is firstly that they may not fit with your travelling schedule, and second, they may be slightly uncomfortable, especially for those travelling with a lot of luggage or children.

Large groups, as well as those with lots of luggage will find the AtoB service both affordable, as well as comfortable and convenient. If you calculate the price per passenger, you will find that our vans usually come out to be cheaper!
