2. Sandefjord – To get to Sandefjord from Oslo (and Oslo Gardemoen Airport), take a train that departs every hour (the ride takes 1,5 h or 2 hours from Gardemoen Airport). Search train: Oslo S (or Oslo Lufthavn) to Sandefjord Stasjon. Let us know your arrival time and we will wait at the train station for you.
3. Oslo centre – We will deliver the campervan there for a delivery fee of 2000 NOK (excl. VAT) /one way. The meeting point is Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, next to the central station. We do not deliver campervans to Oslo Gardemoen Airport. From there, you can take an 18 min long train ride from the airport to Oslo S (our meeting point).

Pick-up and drop-off in Sandefjord or Torp airport. 

Yes, every camper comes with basic insurance with a self-risk of 10.000 NOK. CDW (Collision damage waiver) is mandatory in Norway and it covers damage to the driver, passengers, other people’s vehicles and other people’s property.

You can purchase additional insurance, that will lower your self-risk. You can choose from 2 additional packages:

Basic insurance (0 NOK) – Covers both damages to the vehicle (CDW) and damages to a third party. This option comes with 24/7 roadside assistance (liability 500 NOK). Your liability is a max of 10.000 NOK per incident. 

Full insurance (125 NOK/day) – This coverage option provides protection for both damages to the vehicle (CDW) and damages to a third party. This option also comes with free 24/7 roadside assistance. Your liability is a max of 5.000 NOK per incident.

• Damage due to gross negligence.
• Damage due to war, revolution, civil unrest, riots.
• Water damage to the vehicle.
• Holes burned into seats, carpets or mats.
• Damage affecting only wheels, tires, suspension, batteries, glass (other than windows), radios, or loss by theft of parts of the vehicle and damage resulting from this.
• Damage caused by driving on rough roads to the vehicle’s transmission, drive, parts that are in or attached to the chassis.
• Damage resulting from driving in places where vehicle traffic is banned, such as paths, tracks, banks of snow, ice, unbridged rivers or streams, beaches. 

We will meet you personally for the pick-up and drop-off. Therefore it’s crucial to know when and where exactly you are coming.

Locations:

• Sandefjord city -usually train station or city centre
• TRF Oslo Torp airport (not Gardemoen – OSL) – choose only if flying there. We’ll meet you by the car rental offices.
• Oslo city – possible for a fee of 2000 NOK (excl. VAT) one way. The meeting location is Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel by central station (Oslo S).

Time: Pick-up time starts at 14:00 and drop-off time is at the latest 11:00. If you have a specific request, let us know so we can see if we can arrange it.

Early pick-up or late drop-off: All our guests have the right to pick up the car from 14:00 and drop it off at the latest at 11:00. After securing this for others, we can agree on other time spots for you. Because of our unlimited mileage policy, an extra fee of 500 NOK applies.

You can combine only locations which are stated on our website. These are: Sandefjord, Torp Airport and Oslo city.

For example: you can pick up the campervan in Sandefjord and deliver it to Oslo. Delivery fee applies.

There is no mileage limit.

We set no limits on where you can and can not drive. Note that our 24/7 road assistance is only valid in Norway. We can not guarantee any road assistance abroad. 

Are you sure? Driving from Sandefjord/Oslo to Lofoten is like driving to Paris, except there are no highways. If you didn’t stop anywhere on the way, the journey would be 22 h or 1500 km or 3 days long one way.

We are located in the south and we focus on travelling the south of Norway. It makes no sense to rent from us to only drive to Lofoten. There are campervan rentals located up north.

When is Lofoten a good idea? Your booking is appropriately long for such a journey (around 19 days). You are exploring the whole of Norway and end up in Lofoten. Then we are jealous and want to actually join you. 🙂

All our campers are equipped with AUTO PASS electronic devices, so you have worry-free travel. You will only pay for what you use + 25% transaction fee.

The toll system is online and we have the overview of what you have passed a few days after your drop-off. You will receive a copy of course.

Why 25%? Because it’s fair to short bookings and those avoiding tolls. A flat fee would be an unnecessarily high price for someone renting for a few days. Is it fair to long rentals? Yes, then the 25% amount uses to be just as high as a flat fee our competitors charge.

Example: a week-long trip following our itinerary (2300 km) is around 1000 nok on tolls. The 25% charge is 200 nok on top.

Paddleboards, hiking poles, outdoor shower, camping furniture, bike racks, tent, voltage converter (12 V to 230 V), Wi-Fi router, GPS, awning, hammock, guitar, portable toilet, child seats, towels, Lonely Planet, itineraries…

You can choose the extras during the booking.

Is there something that you would like to add to our extras? Let us know, maybe we have it 😉

All children under 135 cm must have a specific car seat to travel by car in Norway.

Please contact us for the availability of the car child seat. We offer child seats for children weights 9-18 kg and 15-36 kg. None of them has ISOFIX. Note that it’s the driver who is responsible for the right child seat.

• Britax Multi-Tech II-BX (9-18 kg)
• Maxi Cosi Tobi (9-18 kg)
• booster (15-36 kg)

Campervans with ISOFIX: Moby Dick, Golem, Wolf, Blueberry, Lolita, Winston and Gibsea. We do not offer child seats with an ISOFIX function, however, you are free to bring yours.

Be aware it’s not possible to turn off the airbags in Marco Polo and Mozart and therefore those campervans are not recommended to travel with children shorter than 135 cm. The VW campervans don’t have the option either, however, they do have back seats where it’s safe for children. 

Message us if you have any questions about travelling with baby.

Return the campervan and extras in the same condition as you received them and pay nothing. On the opposite way, the cleaning fee is 750 NOK.

Note that if you purchased the cleaning fee and you return the car in extremely bad condition, we might charge you extra for professional cleaning. It’s your responsibility to do the dishes and get rid of odours and extreme grease.

*The cleaning fee is not refundable.

You can bring your pet partner with you. Remember, our campervans are compact-sized, so should be your pet. Please discuss this with us before booking.

Remember to deliver the campervan cleaned.

Yes! If you come to pick up a campervan in Sandefjord by car, you can leave it with us, on our private property.

Of course! We offer two itineraries that will lead you through the best places in Norway. You can add the itinerary to your booking in the 3rd step. 

• Our campervans are compact, so should be your luggage. Hard suitcases are something that will limit your living space for the whole trip. If your luggage is big, there is nowhere where it will fit perfectly. Backpacks are highly recommended.
• Distances in Norway are different than in the USA or Germany. In Norway, 150 km is a 4-hour journey. Don’t plan big, better focus on smaller areas.
