About this app

Description
Bil i Oslo is Oslo's official app for car-related services. With this app you can easily pay for parking at public parking places, pay the studded tire fee and receive notifications of temporary ban on diesel vehicles.

Parking
You pay only for the parking fee, without additional costs. An active parking session may be terminated at any time as well as extended within the restrictions for the relevant parking zone. You only pay for the time that you are parked and payment is deducted upon expiration or manual termination of the parking session. The app provides functionality to simplify the user experience. This includes automatic recommendations for parking zones based on your GPS location and a map function for orientation and manual selection of parking zones.

As always, you are responsible for following the signs that apply to the street where you park.

Handicapped parking space
The app contains a map of all public HC parking spaces in Oslo. By pressing the HC parking icons in the map you get directions for driving.
In the city centre you get real-time information about available HC parking spaces.
Always be cautious when driving and follow the regulations for mobile use while driving.

Studded tire fee
You can pay the daily, monthly and seasonal studded tire fee in the app. The daily fee is valid for 24 hours and the monthly fee is valid for the current month. The seasonal fee can be canceled and you are refunded for the remaining period of the season. It is possible to transfer the active studded tire fee bought for the season to another car once.

Other functionality
You create a profile in the app and among other information, store your payment card and vehicle registration number so you can effectively perform parking transactions and pay the studded tire fee. You can also enter multiple payment cards and vehicles and easily switch between them. Another feature includes receipt by e-mail which is sent from the transaction history. A monthly summary of earlier receipts can be received on e-mail. You can also contact The Agency for Urban Environment directly from the app.

Bil i Oslo is available for iPhone and Android and supports Norwegian and English languages. The app will be extended to include additional functionality and services for motorists in Oslo.

Note that Bil i Oslo’s payment solution does not support cards from Eurocard.

Ratings and reviews

The app works fine and lets you find parking and charging options in Oslo, as well as pay for them. However, it will suggest parking that is forbidden for my car model (registered in app). There is no option to filter. So you need to drive to several charging points and check for physical signs. The worst part is that the app will still let you pay for parking and charging but you'll end up with a fine anyway.

I like the app. There's only one long-term bug left to fix. When I don't have mobile data on and I open the app, then the app doesn't go online even if I turn the data on. I have to force restart the app in order to make it go online again. Otherwise really nice job over the time !

Updated since reply from Dev. Map loading and speed is just not comparable to EasyPark (for example) and that part of the user experience is critical. people want to just pay. Also, the flow for changing cars is poor. It should be possible to do this in the same flow as setting the time and paying, not going into settings and change 'default' car. Who has a 'default' car? ** Orig: rating 1 Slow to load zones, but worse is it's a completely wrong price calculation for electric cars. Why is this when the car is defined as pure electric but the price is the same as ice cars?

What’s new

Prepared for consumption-based charging parking. HC users can indicate they have an HC permit on My page and will only pay for electricity in upcoming tariff groups.
