Can I rent a campervan in Lofoten or Bodø?
Rental companies, pickup points, what is included and the ferry from Bodø.
Short answer
Campervans can be rented in Lofoten from Midnight Campers, whose vans are just outside Svolvær, and from WeCamp, which has a pickup point at Leknes Airport. Near Bodø, WeCamp also has a pickup point at Fauske railway station on the Nordland Line between Trondheim and Bodø.
Why
- Midnight Campers gives Lofoten, Svolvær as its pickup and drop-off location and includes bedding, towels, a toilet, a fully equipped kitchen and unlimited kilometres.
- WeCamp's main fleet hub is at Harstad/Narvik Airport Evenes, with regional pickup and drop-off points at Leknes Airport, Fauske train station and Tønsberg.
Details
WeCamp says unlimited kilometres, insurance and full equipment are included in its rentals. Midnight Campers gives 15 percent off rentals in May, September and October and also offers winter rentals. From Bodø the ferry to Moskenes in Lofoten takes about 3.5 hours.
Tip
If you pick up the campervan in Bodø or Fauske and drive to Lofoten, check the ferry price for your vehicle, since motorhome length determines ferry prices.
What may differ
