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!

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.

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...
