Nordic Campers ASEidsvoll Verk train station, Nyvegen 31, 2070 Råholt
The rental company
Nordic Campers, the small van for exploring Norway as a couple
Nordic Campers rents compact vans designed for two people in Norway. Its only depot, attached to Oslo, is in fact located in Råholt, in the municipality of Eidsvoll, next to Eidsvoll Verk station: several dozen kilometres north of the capital, beyond Oslo-Gardermoen airport. It is a convenient starting point for heading up towards Lake Mjøsa, Lillehammer and the valleys leading to the western fjords.
Two models are listed, the VW Plain Mini Camper and the VW Retro Mini Camper: two seats, two berths and a manual gearbox. The rental company also advertises vehicles with or without a roof tent; the exact equipment is shown in each offer.
CoolDrive recorded only two Nordic Campers offers in October 2026, one per model, for a July departure. Both include unlimited mileage, with an excess of €2,000.
Our verdict: a simple, manoeuvrable option for a couple who want to slip along Norway’s small roads, with round-the-clock assistance advertised by the rental company. Its limits are clear: a single starting point, no room for a third passenger, no automatic gearbox and too few records to judge prices across the year.

Our view
Nordic Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Nordic Campers is ideal if…
- You are travelling as a couple and a van with two berths is enough
- You are arriving via Oslo-Gardermoen airport or by train and want to avoid the city centre
- You plan to cover a lot of ground: the offers recorded set no mileage cap
- You prefer a compact vehicle for narrow roads and village car parks
- Your route heads to Lillehammer, the Gudbrandsdal and then the western fjords
Nordic Campers is not ideal if…
- There are three or more of you, children included
- Only an automatic gearbox will do
- You want to start in Bergen, Trondheim or the far north
- You are planning a one-way hire between two cities
- You like to compare many models from the same rental company
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Nordic Campers
-
Plan the journey to Eidsvoll Verk
The depot is not in Oslo itself: it is near Eidsvoll Verk station, in Råholt. Before booking your tickets, check the depot’s opening hours in the offer and look up trains from Gardermoen airport or Oslo Central Station. Arriving the day before saves you rushing on pick-up day.
-
Walk around the van before you leave
When you collect the keys, inspect the bodywork, tyres and roof, open the storage compartments and check the inventory: bedding, kitchen, roof tent if included. Photograph any defects and save the assistance number in your phone before setting off.
-
Soft bags and light packing
In a van designed for two, storage space runs out quickly. Soft bags slide in more easily than a hard suitcase, and one or two folding crates are enough for food. Keep a waterproof jacket and a warm layer within reach.
-
Plan ahead for tolls and ferry crossings
Norwegian roads have many number-plate-recognition tolls, grouped under the AutoPASS system, and the west coast is often crossed by ferry. Ask the depot how these charges will be billed to you after the hire, and set aside part of your budget for them.
-
Expect cool nights, even in July
In the mountains and near the fjords, the temperature often drops in the evening. Bring a hat and warm clothes to sleep in, ask the depot what bedding is provided and whether the van has heating, and check snow conditions on the mountain passes if you are travelling in spring or autumn.
What travellers ask
Your questions about Nordic Campers
How much does a Nordic Campers hire cost in Norway?
CoolDrive recorded only two Nordic Campers offers in October 2026, for a 14-day hire in July. Both the Plain and the Retro were shown at around €145 per day, mandatory fees included. With so little data, this figure is only a rough guide: prices change with the season, the length of hire and the booking date. Run a search with your dates to get the exact price.
Where is the Nordic Campers depot in Norway?
The only depot listed is attached to Oslo, but it is located in Råholt, Nyvegen 31, next to Eidsvoll Verk station. The site lies north of the capital, beyond Gardermoen airport, not far from the house where the Norwegian Constitution was signed in 1814. Check the opening hours in the offer before arranging your arrival.
Which vans does Nordic Campers offer?
Two models appear in our data: the VW Plain Mini Camper and the VW Retro Mini Camper. Both are Volkswagen campervans with two seats and two berths, with a manual gearbox. The rental company says it offers vehicles with or without a roof tent: the precise layout of each model is described in the offer details.
Is mileage limited with Nordic Campers?
No, in the two offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, mileage is unlimited. That is useful in Norway, where a return trip from Eidsvoll to Geiranger or the western fjords already covers a long distance. As our records remain very limited, do still read the terms of the offer you choose.
Which route should I take from Eidsvoll?
The depot sits on the E6, which runs along Lake Mjøsa towards Hamar and Lillehammer, then climbs the Gudbrandsdal valley. From there, mountain roads lead to Jotunheimen National Park, Geiranger and the great fjords. Plan a loop that returns to Eidsvoll, since the van must be returned there.

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!

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 all, very positive and after our first motorhome adventure being such a joy, we will do this again next year(s), and will check out Cooldrive/Nomad first for options and prices.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Nordic Campers campervan hire in Norway
Why book Nordic Campers with CoolDrive?
A search on CoolDrive shows Nordic Campers vans alongside offers from McRent, Anywhere Campers or Motorhome Norway, for your dates and your departure city. The price shown already includes mandatory fees. Before your trip, our experts help you compare vehicle sizes and prepare your arrival in Eidsvoll; during the hire, they remain reachable.
What excess applies with Nordic Campers?
In the two offers recorded in October 2026, the excess is €2,000, for both the Plain and the Retro. The security deposit amount and how it is taken are specified in each offer. Make sure your credit card limit covers this amount, and ask our experts about options that reduce the sum left for you to pay.
How many people can travel in a Nordic Campers van?
Both models listed have two seats and two berths. They are therefore aimed at couples, two friends travelling together or solo travellers. For a family or a group of three or more, filter the search by number of passengers: other Norwegian rental companies offer low-profiles and overcabs.
Does Nordic Campers rent automatic vans?
No, both vans listed in Norway have a manual gearbox. If you only drive automatics, specify this in the search to see the other offers in the country; our records show some at Anywhere Campers. Otherwise, a small van is easy to get to grips with, even on hairpin mountain roads.
Can I return the Nordic Campers van somewhere other than Eidsvoll?
Only one Nordic Campers depot is listed in Norway: the van is therefore returned where you collected it, near Eidsvoll Verk station. Plan your trip as a loop, for example via Mjøsa, the Gudbrandsdal and the fjords. If you are set on finishing in another city, enter it in the search to see which rental companies accept it.
Does Nordic Campers offer breakdown assistance?
The rental company advertises roadside assistance available 24 hours a day during the hire. The number is in the documents handed over with the van: save it as soon as you collect the vehicle, as mobile coverage can be weak in some valleys. If there is a problem, our experts can also liaise with the rental company.
