Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!

Traveling by camper van in Norway: when to go and how to enjoy the seasons
Norway offers spectacular landscapes that change dramatically with the seasons, from the midnight sun in summer to the northern lights in winter. Choosing the right time to explore this Nordic country by camper van depends on your priorities: summer adventure, exceptional natural phenomena, or tranquility away from the crowds.
Summer: the ideal season for hiking and long days
Between June and August, Norway lives to the rhythm of the midnight sun, particularly north of the Arctic Circle. The days offer up to 18 hours of daylight in the north, allowing for uninterrupted exploration of the fjords of the West and the coastal landscapes between Stavanger and Bodø. Temperatures range from 15 to 25°C, ideal for wild camping and accessible hikes. However, July and August constitute the peak tourist season, with crowded campsites and limited availability of camper rentals.
If you prefer to avoid the crowds while maintaining good conditions, May and September represent excellent alternatives. In May, temperatures reach 20°C, nature displays its fresh colors, and you can experience Constitution Day on May 17. In September, the crowds have disappeared, nature is at its peak, and conditions remain pleasant for exploring the coastal roads.
Winter: northern lights and climatic challenges
From November to March, Norway transforms into a spectacular winter destination. The northern lights become frequent above the Arctic Circle, offering a unique immersive experience. However, the climate becomes extremely changeable: on the west coast between Stavanger and Bodø, temperatures remain moderate between 0 and -10°C, while inland, they can drop to -30°C. Roads and tourist spots often become inaccessible, requiring appropriate equipment and constant weather vigilance.
Rates and availability by season
The seasonality of rates in Norway directly follows tourist influx. Summer, particularly June and August, shows the highest prices for camper rentals, with very limited or even nonexistent availability. It is crucial to plan ahead if you are considering this period. Conversely, May and September offer better availability and more favorable rates, while late autumn and winter see rental companies gradually closing around October-November.
The Norwegian climate remains unpredictable all year round: even in July, it is not uncommon to see snow at higher altitudes, and weather conditions can vary dramatically from one fjord to another in a single day. Always plan for warm clothing, waterproof gear, and adjust your itinerary according to local conditions.

Practical tips for traveling by camper van in Norway
Norway offers exceptional freedom for travelers in camper vans, with diverse landscapes ranging from the Geiranger fjords to the Lofoten Islands, but it is essential to respect local rules to fully enjoy this mode of travel.
Driving and regulations
In Norway, driving a camper van follows strict rules: headlights must be on at all times, even during the day, and speed is limited to 30 km/h in cities, 80 km/h on main roads, and 90 km/h on the few highways. It is prohibited to drive off-road, especially on trails, and vehicles must not exceed 2.55 meters in width, which can pose problems on certain scenic roads like the Trollstigen road. Fines are very high in case of speeding or non-compliance with the code, and a B license is mandatory for vehicles under 3.5 tons.
Sleeping and connecting
The right to access nature, called Allemannsretten, allows camping almost anywhere in Norway, provided you stay more than 150 meters from a dwelling and do not disturb nature. However, in very popular areas like the Lofoten Islands or around Bergen, restrictions may apply, including the prohibition of camping more than two nights in the same place without permission. Campfires are prohibited between April 15 and September 15, except in specific areas, and it is advisable to use portable stoves. For connecting, prefer dedicated service areas, as the disposal of wastewater is only permitted in these locations.
Local tips & safety
In Norway, it is crucial to respect nature and the locals: always leave the place as clean as you found it, avoid excessive noise, and respect signage, especially the "No Camping" or "Private" signs. Roads may be closed in winter, especially in the mountains, and it is mandatory to equip the camper van with winter tires between November and April. In case of emergency, dial 112. Finally, do not forget to bring an adapter for gas bottles, mainly available in the southern part of the country.

No unpleasant surprises
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
Very good service from the staff. Vehicle in pretty good condition.
Negative point: The prices are high and the insurance aspect is a real stress because we understand that if we have a claim, cooldrive will not help us with the procedures.
Positive points: the phone and email exchanges to ask all questions and the vehicle was as described.
Easy use of the platform
The rental, the equipment provided, and the contact were of exceptional quality! A Norwegian quality! If only it could be the same everywhere!!!!
Quick response
Asked a question and got a quick and clear response. Very helpful in explaining things I was unsure of with regard to insurances. I am also quite tall but there is no option to choose between vehicle models which I prefer considering my height. I asked a question about it. They contacted the rental firm with my requirements and provided the feedback I needed. Transparent, honest and quick. I've bo...
easy todo, management, answers to the questions. etc..
Before booking, I hesitated between several models of camper vans and had many questions about how they work, the heating in relation to negative temperatures... they answered all my questions very quickly and were very good advice.
Three months after the cancellation of our reservation, we still have not received the refund of the remaining deposit. Customer service is becoming less and less responsive (2 weeks without news), after an initial reaction that was quick.
There seems to be a certain lack of willingness to bring the case to a conclusion and to take corrective measures to proceed with the effective refund.
The...
It was the first time we rented a van. The reservation by phone went very smoothly for a very high price, but we wanted to subscribe to all the options to be worry-free (unlimited mileage, insurance, key to use the internet). However, when it came time to pick up the van, we had a bad surprise; gas was not included (useful for cooking, heating, and boiling water). The rental company wasn't aware o...
My rating is for the camper van reservation only. We haven't made the trip yet. The reservation was easy with very good service.
The order went well: there is tracking in the requests since as soon as you had the announcement we needed, you offered it to us... however, we will also need to assess after the stay!
Thank you Marléne for finding us an available motorhome for our last-minute reservation when everything seemed already booked.
The price now is even cheaper. I paid all the fees already and my trip starts from July 21st. I filed a complaint email and got ONLY the response "understand my feelings." Fully unacceptable, how can they treat an "early bird" like this?
Fabulous customer service leading up to our epic family adventure. Feeling confident all will run smoothly and the van will be perfect for our holiday!
Simple and effective, but the availability of motorhomes is not updated in real time regarding the vehicles that are actually still available with the rental companies...
Very good site, easy booking and communication
No issues on-site during the rental
Everything went well.
We left for Norway on August 15th. The balance of our reservation with Cooldrive had been settled since June. Upon our arrival, the rental company told us they had not received payment from Cooldrive. We tried to call the agency, but to no avail, as it was a public holiday in France. We were thus forced to pay the rental amount again to the rental company, otherwise, we would have been left on the...
easy online booking
Too expensive, not enough options
Easily reachable
very pleasant, recovery and return done quickly.
great experience. very responsive agency
Very good service. The only downside was the website, which had many issues on the day of the booking.
Camper vans advertised as available, when there wasn't a single one available in all of Scandinavia before the start of the school year! Days and days wasted for nothing.
