Anywhere Campers BergenBergenView map
Hiring a campervan in Bergen puts your trip at the heart of fjord Norway: the Sognefjord, the country's longest, opens to the north, the Hardangerfjord and its orchards to the south-east, and the Geirangerfjord can be reached in a few days' drive between glaciers and waterfalls. With 6 partner companies and 6 depots, the choice is wide: Indie Campers, McRent, Touring Cars, Rent Easy, Motorhome Norway and Anywhere Campers.
The depots are spread around the city, from Arna to Åsane and from Flesland to the island of Sotra: each gives direct access to one of the main roads leaving Bergen.

1 Sognefjord, Nærøyfjord and the Lærdal Tunnel
- Bergen
- Voss
- Gudvangen
- Flåm
- Lærdal
- Borgund
- Sogndal
- Balestrand
- Bergen
Via Voss, the E16 runs down to Gudvangen, at the head of the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, then to Flåm and the Stegastein viewpoint, suspended above the Aurlandsfjord. The Lærdal Tunnel, the longest road tunnel in the world, leads to the Borgund stave church; ferries then link Sogndal and Balestrand before the return to Bergen. Crossings set the pace of the day: allow some leeway.

- Norheimsund
- Eidfjord
- Odda
- Røldal
- Sand
- Preikestolen

To the south-east, Norheimsund and the Steinsdalsfossen waterfall open the Hardangerfjord, lined with orchards in blossom in spring. The Hardanger Bridge leads towards Eidfjord and the Vøringsfossen falls, then Odda, starting point of the hike to Trolltunga. Via Røldal and the Ryfylke scenic route, you reach Preikestolen and Stavanger, another departure city of our partners, where you can return the vehicle.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Bergen?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 14 to 17 °C, lows 6 to 9 °C
The best time to leave from Bergen. In May, the Hardanger orchards blossom and the waterfalls are swollen with snowmelt, even if a few high mountain roads have not yet reopened; June brings almost light nights. September stays mild, with sites deserted by cruise passengers and quieter campsites.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 17 to 18 °C, lows 11 °C
Peak season, the time of Norwegian holidays and cruise ships: crowds in Geiranger, in Flåm and at hiking car parks. The sea nears 17 °C in July, its mildest of the year. Book your vehicle and campsites early, and visit the busiest sites early in the morning.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 3 to 6 °C, lows -2 to 2 °C
Bergen's winter is mild for its latitude, but dark and very wet, with barely two hours of sunshine a day in December and January. Towards Oslo, the E16 and Route 7 across the Hardangervidda plateau may close or switch to convoy driving during storms: travel in a heated vehicle equipped for snow.
April and October
April, October
highs 10 °C, lows 2 to 5 °C
The shoulder seasons offer the quietest roads of the year. In April, the days lengthen quickly and the summits remain snow-covered, but many campsites have not yet reopened; in October, the forests turn golden, the days shorten and nights approach freezing inland.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
AutoPASS: tolls without barriers
In Norway, almost all tolls are automatic: cameras read the number plate at the entrance to Bergen as well as on many bridges, tunnels and new road sections, with no barrier or ticket. The rental company receives the AutoPASS invoices and recharges them to you after the hire: ask how, and whether an admin fee is added.
Allemannsretten: the tent, not the vehicle
The right to roam, allemannsretten, allows you to pitch a tent on uncultivated land, but it does not cover motor vehicles. To sleep in your motorhome, use campsites, motorhome areas and car parks where no sign forbids it; near Geiranger, Flåm or Trolltunga, car parks often ban overnight stays or charge for them.
Narrow roads and tunnels
Away from the main routes, many fjord roads have a single lane, with passing places marked by an "M" sign: pull in to let others pass, including coaches. Dipped headlights are compulsory in daytime, and the tunnels, numerous, sometimes long and steep, call for smooth driving. A campervan or low-profile motorhome is much easier to manoeuvre than a large alcove model.
Mountain roads closed in winter
Scenic mountain roads such as Trollstigen, the Dalsnibba road above Geiranger, Sognefjellet or Aurlandsfjellet generally close from autumn to late spring, on dates that vary each year with the snow. Before planning a route in May or October, check the road conditions published by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Statens vegvesen.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Bergen
Where can I pick up a campervan in Bergen?
Six partner companies welcome you: Indie Campers in Indre Arna, to the east; Rent Easy in Hylkje, in the Åsane district to the north; Motorhome Norway in Blomsterdalen, near Flesland airport; McRent on the island of Sotra, to the west; Touring Cars and Anywhere Campers in Bergen. The exact address and meeting time are in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Bergen?
The price depends mainly on the season: the short fjord summer concentrates demand and the highest prices, while May and September are more affordable. The length of hire, the vehicle and any one-way trip also count. Enter your dates in the search to see real offers, mandatory fees included, and budget separately for ferries and tolls.
Can I do a one-way trip from Bergen?
Yes: Stavanger, Haugesund, Ålesund, Kristiansand and Oslo are also departure cities of our partners. You can finish via Preikestolen and Stavanger, via Geiranger and Ålesund, or cross the country to Oslo through Hallingdal or over the Hardangervidda plateau. Any one-way fees are included in the displayed price once the return city is entered.
Can I visit Bergen with a campervan?
It is better to leave it outside the centre. The streets around Bryggen, the listed Hanseatic wharf, and the fish market are narrow and very busy, and multi-storey car parks refuse tall vehicles. Stay at a campsite on the outskirts, then reach the centre by the Bybanen light rail or by bus; the Mount Fløyen funicular leaves a stone's throw from Bryggen.
How can I see Trolltunga and Preikestolen with a campervan?
Both are hikes, not roadside viewpoints. Trolltunga, above Odda, takes a long day's walk there and back, and a guide is recommended outside summer; Preikestolen, near Stavanger, takes half a day. The paid trailhead car parks fill up early: sleep the night before at a nearby campsite and set off at sunrise.
Which motorhome models are available in Bergen?
Vehicles offered from Bergen include the Carado T-447, a four-seat low-profile motorhome with manual or automatic gearbox, the Adria Matrix M670SL, with five seats and five berths, and the Sunlight A70, an alcove motorhome for six people. On the narrow fjord roads, the most compact models remain the easiest to drive and park.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Bergen
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Norway?
A category B licence is enough for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental campervans and motorhomes; above that, a C1 licence is required. Norway recognises licences from the European Economic Area; others may require an international driving permit. The minimum age and years of driving are set by each rental company in the offer conditions.
Do I need to book the fjord ferries?
For most of the ferries that extend the roads, no: you turn up at the quay and pay on board or by number plate recognition. The fare depends on the vehicle's length, and queues grow at peak times in summer. Sightseeing ferries such as Geiranger–Hellesylt, on the other hand, are best booked in advance.
Does it really rain that much in Bergen?
Yes, Bergen is one of the wettest cities in Europe: our climate normals show more than 300 mm of rain in October, against just over 100 mm in April and May, the driest months. A good jacket, quick-drying clothes and a heated vehicle make all the difference; after the shower, the fjord waterfalls are all the more beautiful.
How do I get to the depots from Bergen Flesland Airport?
Motorhome Norway is in Blomsterdalen, a few minutes by taxi from the Flesland terminals. The Bybanen light rail links the airport to the city centre, from where trains run to Indre Arna; for Hylkje or Sotra, plan on a bus or a taxi. Let the rental company know your arrival time to arrange the vehicle handover.
Norway is not in the European Union: what difference does it make?
Norway is part of the Schengen Area and the European Economic Area, but not of the customs union. If you cross into Sweden, Norwegian customs limit the alcohol, meat or dairy products you bring back, and the rental company must allow the vehicle to leave the country. The currency is the Norwegian krone; bank cards are accepted almost everywhere, fuel included.
When should I book a campervan in Bergen?
Allow several months for a departure between late June and mid-August, when Norwegian holidaymakers and foreign visitors share the same vehicles. May and September leave more choice, a few weeks before departure. One-way trips to Ålesund, Stavanger or Oslo often need more advance planning: book them at the same time as your flights.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Bergen
Bergen, a former Hanseatic city nestled between its seven mountains, is the most natural starting point for the great fjords of western Norway. In a day's drive you reach the Sognefjord, the Nærøyfjord or the Hardangerfjord; in a few days, Geiranger, the Trolls' Path and the Atlantic Ocean Road. The journey alternates ferries, tunnels and mountain roads, at a slower pace than elsewhere, but every stage brings a new landscape.
With six partner companies spread around the city, the choice ranges from compact campervans to family alcove motorhomes. Stavanger, Haugesund, Ålesund, Kristiansand and Oslo, other departure cities of our partners, make it possible to follow the coast or cross the country one way. From May to September, long days and highs of 14 to 18 °C make the best season, and our customers who left from Bergen give an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.
