If you want freedom to roam, renting a car or a camper van can be a good option to explore the Tromsø region at your own pace. Tromsø offers several well-known international car rental companies, so it is easy to get out of the city.
There are several companies offering rental cars if you want to have access to your own vehicle for a day or your whole stay. There are also several companies renting out camper vans and caravans. We strongly recommend that you book in advance. Before driving in Arctic Norway, we strongly advice you to read up on driving conditions before you set out on your adventure. Driving in Summer is easy, but our winter conditions can be challenging
