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!

Wild camping is tolerated in Norway under the Allemannsretten, more than 150 meters from homes like those in Narvik, but prefer official areas for waste disposal and electricity, especially off-season when many sites close.
Local Tips and Safety
Around Narvik, respect the 150-meter distance from homes for parking in a van and avoid campfires near forests between April and September; roads to the Lofoten require heightened vigilance due to strong autumn winds. For safety, equip your vehicle for local steep slopes, do not overload, and in case of an accident near Narvik, contact emergency services first; the blood alcohol limit is set at 0.2 g/l.
