Anywhere Campers GöteborgGöteborgView map
Campervan hire in Gothenburg puts you straight onto Sweden's west coast, the most indented in the country: to the north, the granite islands and fishing villages of Bohuslän stretch all the way to the Norwegian border; to the east, the Göta älv river and the Trollhättan canal lead to Lake Vänern and the forests of Värmland. Ferries to Denmark leave from the city centre. The choice brings together 5 partner companies: Anywhere Campers, Indie Campers, Rent Easy, Skandi Trip Premium Motorhomes and Touring Cars.
Pick-ups take place in Mölndal, on the southern edge of the city, at Landvetter airport, to the east, or in Gothenburg itself, never far from the sea.

Road trips from Gothenburg
1 The Bohuslän coast to Oslo
- Gothenburg
- Marstrand
- Smögen
- Fjällbacka
- Strömstad
- Oslo
- Gothenburg
The E6 runs straight north to Norway, but the whole point of the trip lies in the detours to the sea. At Marstrand, you leave the vehicle on Koön and cross by ferry to the car-free island and its Carlsten fortress. Further north come Smögen and its shrimps, Fjällbacka at the foot of Vetteberget, then Strömstad, where boats leave for the Kosterhavet marine national park, before the Svinesund bridge and Oslo.

2 Trollhättan canal, Dalsland and Värmland
- Gothenburg
- Trollhättan
- Håverud
- Åmål
- Karlstad
- Sunne
- Mariestad
- Läckö
- Gothenburg
Heading up the Göta älv, Trollhättan lines up its staircase locks and, on certain summer days, the spectacular opening of the floodgates at its falls. In Dalsland, the Håverud aqueduct carries a canal over a river, between a road and a railway. You then follow Lake Vänern to Karlstad and the Fryken lakes around Sunne, before returning along the southern shore of Vänern and Läckö castle.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Gothenburg?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 16 to 19 °C, lows 7 to 12 °C
The best months to leave from Gothenburg: June is the most pleasant of the year, with thirteen hours of sunshine a day on average and still moderate rainfall. May and September remain mild, the Bohuslän villages are quiet, and the sea, at 17 °C in June as in September, is already fine for swimming for the bravest.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 20 °C, lows 13 to 14 °C
Peak season on the west coast: full marinas, seaside campsites booked out and ferries to Denmark in high demand. Yet these are wet months in Gothenburg, with more than 100 mm of rain each, but the sea at its warmest makes the granite coves of Bohuslän very pleasant between showers.
April and October
April, October
highs 11 to 12 °C, lows 2 to 7 °C
Two contrasting shoulder seasons: April is dry and bright, with eleven hours of sunshine a day but nights close to freezing, while October is mild and one of the wettest months. Roads are quiet, but many coastal campsites open late in spring and close early in autumn.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 3 to 7 °C, lows -2 to 3 °C
Winter on the west coast is less harsh than inland, but grey, damp and windy, with two to three hours of sunshine a day in December and January. A heated vehicle suits a short stay, for example for the Liseberg Christmas market, with a reduced choice of open campsites.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Arriving via Landvetter airport
Indie Campers hands over its vehicles directly at Landvetter airport, about 25 km east of Gothenburg, which avoids any transfer after your flight. For the depots in Mölndal or in the city, Flygbussarna coaches link the airport to the central station; with luggage, a taxi remains the simplest option. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
Gothenburg's congestion tax
Gothenburg levies a congestion tax, the trängselskatt, at the control points around the centre and on the main crossings of the Göta älv, such as the Tingstad tunnel or the Älvsborg bridge. Each passage is recorded by camera, on weekdays during the day, except in July; the rental company receives the bill and passes it on to you, with possible handling fees.
Allemansrätten: tents yes, motorhomes no
The Swedish right of public access lets you walk on the Bohuslän rocks or pitch a tent there for one night, but a motor vehicle remains subject to traffic law and ordinary parking rules. On the coast, many harbours and car parks display a no-overnight-stay sign in summer, and nature reserves generally forbid it.
Visiting Gothenburg without the vehicle
The centre of Gothenburg, with its height-restricted underground car parks and streets shared with the tram, is ill-suited to a motorhome. It is better to park on the outskirts, at a park-and-ride or a campsite, then reach Haga, the harbour or Liseberg by tram, with a ticket bought on the Västtrafik app.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Gothenburg
Where can I pick up a campervan in Gothenburg?
Five partner companies welcome you: Rent Easy and Skandi Trip Premium Motorhomes at the same address, Lantbruksgatan in Mölndal, a town adjoining Gothenburg to the south, Indie Campers at Landvetter airport, and Anywhere Campers and Touring Cars in Gothenburg. The exact meeting address is in your booking confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Gothenburg?
The price depends on the season, the length of hire and the vehicle: a two-seat van and a six-berth family motorhome are not hired at the same price, and July remains the most sought-after month. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates to compare our partners' offers in Gothenburg, mandatory fees included and bookable straight away.
Can I drive to Norway with a campervan hired in Gothenburg?
Oslo is only about 300 km away on the E6. Norway is not part of the European Union: check in the offer conditions that it is covered by the insurance, respect the customs limits on alcohol and certain foods, and ask the rental company how Norwegian tolls, collected by number-plate recognition, are passed on to you.
Do I need to book the ferry to Denmark?
Yes, especially in summer and at weekends. Stena Line links Gothenburg to Frederikshavn several times a day, and to Kiel, in Germany, with an overnight crossing. The fare depends on the vehicle's dimensions, to be declared exactly when booking. Also check that your rental company allows you to leave Sweden and covers the countries you plan to visit.
Can I do a one-way trip from Gothenburg?
Yes, to Helsingborg or Malmö in the south, along the Halland coast via Varberg fortress, the beaches of Halmstad and the Kullaberg peninsula, in Skåne, or to Stockholm, to the east, via Lake Vättern. A one-way fee may apply: it is included in the displayed price as soon as you choose the return city when searching.

Everything went well from the beginning to the end. I was informed at all times, even they wrote to me because there was a change of camper due to circumstances and they notified me in case I didn't agree. There was no problem, I'm very grateful because it's a pleasure to travel like this. Thank you very much.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Gothenburg
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Sweden?
For a vehicle under 3.5 tonnes, like most of the campervans and motorhomes offered in Gothenburg, a category B licence is enough. A licence issued outside the European Union may require an international driving permit, especially if it is not written in Latin characters. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in each rental company's conditions.
Manual or automatic?
Both are available from Gothenburg: several models found in our searches, such as the Adria Matrix, the Carado T-447, the Sunlight A70 or the Van for 2, are offered in manual and automatic versions. An automatic reassures drivers not used to large vehicles: check the transmission in each offer's description before booking.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome on the west coast?
Campsites are plentiful along Bohuslän and Halland, often by the water, and full in July. Between campsites, ställplatser, areas reserved for motorhomes, and some marinas, the gästhamnar, welcome vehicles overnight for a fee, almost always paid by card or app: cash is rarely accepted in Sweden.
Do I need winter tyres?
In Sweden, winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 31 March whenever conditions are wintry: snow, ice or frost on the road. On the west coast, snow settles less than inland, but black ice is common. For a departure in the cold season, confirm with the rental company that the vehicle is equipped.
Can I visit Gothenburg's archipelago by motorhome?
Partly. The southern archipelago, with Styrsö, Vrångö or Brännö, is closed to visitors' cars: you leave the vehicle near Saltholmen and board the Västtrafik boats. To the north, by contrast, Hönö and Öckerö can be reached with the motorhome, on the free ferries leaving from Lilla Varholmen, on the island of Hisingen.
When should I book a campervan in Gothenburg?
For a departure between Midsummer, at the end of June, and mid-August, book several months ahead: it is the main holiday period in Sweden and Norway, and campervans go first. In May, September and winter, a few weeks are often enough, but book the ferry early if you are travelling via Denmark.
About us
Why start your motorhome trip in Gothenburg
Gothenburg is the gateway to Sweden's west coast, and one of the few departure points that open onto three countries in a single hire: Bohuslän and its granite islands up to the Norwegian border, Oslo a day's drive away, Denmark a ferry crossing away. Inland, the Trollhättan canal, Lake Vänern and Värmland offer a completely different trip, made of lakes and forests.
Five partner companies offer their vehicles in Mölndal, at Landvetter airport and in the city, from the Van for 2 to the six-berth Sunlight A70. Helsingborg, Malmö and Stockholm, other departure cities of our partners, make it possible to cross the country one way. June, with the longest days of the year and still moderate rainfall, is the best month to hit the road.
