First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Practical guide to road trips in Norway
Driving and regulations
From Haugesund, adhere to strict speed limits for camper vans up to 3.5 tons: 50 km/h in the city and around downtown Haugesund, 80 km/h outside urban areas on the roads to Karmøy, and a maximum of 80 km/h on highways. Always turn on your headlights during the day, prioritize to the right, and equip yourself with winter tires from November 1 to April 15 to navigate the winding roads leading to the nearby fjords.
The maximum dimensions are 2.55 m in width and 4 m in height; check the signs at tunnels and bridges around Haugesund, where restrictions often apply in case of strong winds, and do not exceed 19.50 m for the vehicle-trailer combination.
Sleeping and connecting
In Haugesund, choose the dedicated area Haugesund Bobilparkering which offers pitches with electrical connections, ideal for recharging your camper van after a day of exploration. Wild camping is tolerated under the Allemannsretten more than 150 m from homes, such as on parking lots along the coastal roads towards 22 Møllervegen, but reserve these 10 limited spots in advance by phone.
Avoid parking for more than one night in the wild near Haugesund and prefer equipped campgrounds for dumping and connecting, especially in high season when the kommuner restrict free areas.
Local tips and safety
In Haugesund, the blood alcohol limit is set at 0.2 g/l and all occupants must wear their seatbelts; in case of an accident on local roads, call for help immediately. Be vigilant of the numerous tunnels and strong winds on the bridges to the islands of Rogaland, and learn a few Norwegian words to interact with the warm locals of the port of Haugesund.
Respect the campfire bans near forests between April 15 and September 15 during your wild stops around Haugesund, and do not overload your vehicle to tackle the steep slopes of the local scenic roads.
