Essential Tips Before You Go
Midnight sun: From late May to late July in northern Norway, the sun never sets. It's a magical experience sleeping in your campervan with daylight at midnight — bring blackout curtains!
Northern lights: The aurora borealis is visible from September to March in northern Norway. Tromsø and Alta are the best bases. Stay flexible — aurora watching requires clear skies and patience.
Wild camping rules: Norway has the Allemannsretten (right to roam) law — you can camp anywhere in nature for up to 2 nights, as long as you're 150m from the nearest house. Perfect for campervan freedom!
Fuel costs: Norway is expensive for fuel (€1.80–€2.20/litre for diesel). Budget for fuel costs carefully. Many campervans include unlimited kilometres, which helps with planning.
Ferry crossings: Norway has many fjord crossings that require ferries. Budget €20–€80 per crossing for a motorhome. Download the Fjord1 or Norled apps to check timetables and book in advance during summer.
What to Pack in Your Rental Campervan
Most rental vehicles come equipped with basic kitchen supplies, bedding and outdoor furniture. Here's what to bring yourself for a comfortable trip:
- Towels (most rentals don't include them)
- Personal toiletries and medications
- Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses)
- Offline maps downloaded on your phone (Google Maps offline or Maps.me)
- A good travel adaptor if you're coming from abroad
- Cash for small campgrounds, markets and tolls
- A first aid kit
- Clothes in layers — temperatures vary dramatically between regions
Understanding Your Rental Agreement
Before signing any rental agreement, pay close attention to these key clauses:
Insurance & Excess
Most rentals include basic third-party insurance. The excess (deductible) — the amount you pay in case of damage — can be significant ($1,000–$5,000). Always consider purchasing the rental company's collision damage waiver (CDW) to reduce your excess to zero, or check whether your credit card offers rental vehicle insurance.
Kilometre/Mileage Limits
Many rentals include unlimited kilometres/miles, which is ideal for road trips. If your rental has a mileage cap, calculate your expected daily distance carefully and factor in any excess mileage charges ($0.20–$0.50/km) if you exceed the limit.
Fuel Policy
Most rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy — you pick up the vehicle with a full tank and return it full. Never return a vehicle with less fuel than you received it — the top-up charges are significantly more expensive than local petrol station prices.
