Renting a campervan in Bergen is one of the easiest ways to explore the fjords, mountains and small villages of Western Norway at your own pace. Bergen is perfectly located for road trips to Hardangerfjord, Flåm, Sognefjord, Stavanger and some of Norway’s most spectacular scenic routes.
At Campervan Bergen, we are a local campervan rental company based in Bergen, offering practical mini campervans for travellers who want the freedom to discover Norway independently.
Why Rent a Campervan in Bergen?
Bergen is known as the gateway to the Norwegian fjords. Starting your campervan trip in Bergen puts you close to many of Western Norway’s most popular destinations and allows you to spend more time exploring the fjords instead of driving long distances just to reach them.
With a campervan, you can change your route depending on the weather, stay longer in places you enjoy and discover areas that are difficult to reach using public transport.
Popular destinations from Bergen include:
- Hardangerfjord – approximately 2 hours from Bergen
- Voss – approximately 1.5 hours
- Flåm – approximately 2.5–3 hours
- Sognefjord – ideal for a multi-day road trip
- Stavanger – a beautiful coastal route south from Bergen
- Geiranger – ideal for a longer campervan adventure through Western Norway
Campervan Rental in Bergen for International Travellers
Many travellers arriving in Norway want a simple and flexible way to start exploring immediately. A campervan gives you accommodation and transportation in one vehicle, making it particularly practical for a road trip through Western Norway.
Our campervans are designed for travellers who prefer a compact and practical vehicle rather than a large motorhome. A mini campervan is easier to drive on Norwegian roads, easier to park and usually more economical for a road trip.
Our fleet includes modern compact campervans, including electric Kia campervans and diesel models depending on availability. Compact campervans are particularly useful on Norway’s narrow roads, ferries, mountain routes and small parking areas.
Electric Campervan Rental in Bergen
Norway has one of Europe’s most developed electric vehicle charging networks, making an electric campervan a practical option for travelling around the country.
Our modern electric campervans are particularly well suited to travelling around Western Norway. Charging stations are available in Bergen and throughout most major routes and towns.
A convenient strategy is to charge while stopping for lunch, sightseeing or shopping instead of planning the entire journey around charging.
For travellers looking for an electric campervan rental in Bergen, we can also provide practical information before departure about charging and planning your route.
Diesel or Electric Campervan in Norway?
Both options work well, but the best choice depends on your itinerary.
An electric campervan can be an excellent choice for travellers following established routes through Western Norway, where charging infrastructure is widely available.
A diesel campervan can provide additional flexibility for travellers planning very long daily distances or travelling into more remote areas.
Availability varies throughout the season, so we recommend booking early during June, July and August.
Campervan Rental Near Bergen Airport

If you are searching for campervan rental near Bergen Airport, we recommend arranging the details before travelling, especially during the busy summer months.
A Campervan Road Trip from Bergen to Hardangerfjord
Hardangerfjord is one of the easiest fjord destinations to reach from Bergen and is an excellent first destination after collecting your campervan.
The region offers waterfalls, mountains, fruit-growing villages and spectacular views across the fjord. It is particularly beautiful during spring and summer.
Hardanger can easily form part of a larger route connecting Bergen with Voss, Flåm and Sognefjord.
Bergen to Flåm by Campervan
Flåm is another popular destination for travellers starting in Bergen. Driving gives you considerably more freedom than visiting as part of a fixed excursion because you can stop at viewpoints, waterfalls and villages along the way.
From Flåm, you can continue towards Aurland, Sognefjord or further north for a longer Norwegian road trip.
Exploring Sognefjord by Campervan
Sognefjord is Norway’s longest and deepest fjord and deserves more than a quick visit.
A campervan allows you to explore different branches of the fjord, stay overnight in smaller communities and continue your journey without having to return to Bergen every evening.
Driving a Campervan in Norway
Norwegian roads are generally very good, but driving in Western Norway can be different from driving elsewhere in Europe.
You should expect tunnels, ferries, mountain roads and sections where the road becomes narrow. Take your time and allow faster local traffic to pass when it is safe to do so.
A compact campervan is particularly useful in this part of Norway because it is considerably easier to manoeuvre than a large motorhome.
Tolls and Ferries in Norway
Toll roads are common in Norway, and many routes through the fjords also involve ferries.
Most toll stations are automatic, so you normally do not need to stop and pay while driving. Ferry procedures vary depending on the route.
We explain the applicable toll and ferry arrangements to our customers as part of the rental process.
Where Can You Sleep in a Campervan in Norway?
Norway has many campsites as well as designated motorhome and campervan parking areas.
Norway’s right to roam gives visitors considerable freedom to enjoy nature, but it does not mean that vehicles can simply park or camp anywhere. Always respect private property, local signs, environmental restrictions and designated parking areas.
Apps and online maps for campsites and campervan stops can be very useful when planning each night during your trip.
When Is the Best Time to Rent a Campervan in Bergen?
The main campervan season in Bergen runs through spring and summer, with the highest demand generally during June, July and August.
May and September can also be excellent months for a Norwegian road trip. There are usually fewer visitors, although temperatures are cooler and weather conditions can change quickly.
If you plan to travel during July or August, booking your campervan well in advance is strongly recommended.
