By car – Parking in the city centre is best done in parking houses as parking fines are substantial and the official politics is
against cars in the city. During the summer season there is however no shortage of such parking space. The closest garage is
under the conference venue, and the second closest is by the bus station, within a walk of some 3 minutes. The latter garage
charges 10 NOK per 30 minutes or 130 NOK per 24 hours. A weekly card costs 600 NOK, then allowing an unlimited number of
passages in and out of the garage during that period. Entering Bergen with a car is subject to a toll (from the registration plate
by automatic camera). Rental cars normally have automatic toll transponders. Gasoline is 14.90 NOK and diesel 13.75 NOK
per litre (July 2012).
