Orders for electronic toll passes for motorhomes have surged, indicating a record influx. In Tromsø, three rental companies plan to put about 150 vehicles on the road.
Norway is anticipating a record number of motorhomes during the summer season of 2026. According to Motor.no, orders for electronic toll passes (bombrikke) for motorhomes have risen sharply, pointing to a significant increase in traffic.
In Tromsø, three motorhome and camper rental companies — Touring Cars, Indie Campers, and Arctic Campers — plan to deploy about 150 vehicles. Touring Cars, operating in the city since 2022, reported revenue of NOK 36 million and operating profit of NOK 4.7 million. Arctic Campers noted a slight decline in advance bookings, attributing it to new market entrants and uncertainty about travel and fuel. Most renters are foreign tourists, many of whom are first-time motorhome travelers.
