Can you guys please tell me, is it better to rent a car in Bodø and take the ferry to the Lofoten Islands, or should we take the ferry to Moskenes and rent a car from the harbour there? I heard that car rentals are very expensive on the islands! Thank you! ?

I rented a car from a private car rental on the island after taking the ferry.

Car rental at Moskenes is between 699-750 NOK per day. Search for "rent a car Moskenes". Needs to be booked via Facebook or by sending a text message to 004797520088. The content of the message should include: name and cellphone number, date and time of arrival, date and time of departure, automatic or manual transmission. After confirmation, you will receive a booking number. No deposit is required. I chose to rent a car at his place, so I wouldn't have to worry about parking when boarding the boat in Bodo.

I rented a small car with manual transmission on the island for more than 300 yuan a day.

Can you please help me? I am driving around the Lofoten Islands and will be in Stavanger from Oct 4-6. I do not plan to rent a car for those days. I plan to do a day trip to Preikestolen on Oct 5. When I look at the booking sites for the day trip, they do not offer ferry + bus package after Oct 1. However, I see from many travel blogs that many hikers still visit Preikestolen in Oct and Nov. Can you please tell me which ferry terminal do I need to go to on Oct 5 to get to Preikestolen from Stavanger? Where can I find out the ferry schedule? Is the bus from Preikestolen still running?

Guys, I have a question. When I went to Norway in 2016, on the way to a very famous glacier in Geiranger's south, on the road to the village at the foot of the glacier, there was a narrow road along the lake with a short cylindrical tunnel. The tunnel was pitch black and had no lights. I think any driver who went to that glacier must have had a deep impression; at the entrance to this tunnel, I almost had a traffic accident because there was only one way in and out, and there were no lights. When I went back, a car came out of the tunnel in front of me, and we almost collided. I wonder how you safely passed through ? Norway Q&A

In the apartment where From lived, the hotel policy on booking mentioned that extra beds were not available for an extra fee, and there was no mention of other dining policies. However, when I checked in, the front desk asked me to add the dinner and breakfast fees for my baby, which was more than 500 Norwegian kroner. The apartment fee included the breakfast and dinner fees for two people, so I said that we wouldn't eat here. He said that was not possible. If you stay here, you must include this fee. You must add money. I have traveled to Europe several times, and I know that hotels are strict about per-person fees, so I always check if it's okay to bring children. Only if it's okay, will I book. I haven't encountered such a situation in all the hotels I've stayed in. I think you can add money, but it should be clearly stated in the policy how much extra money is needed for babies of a certain age. However, the hotel didn't write anything. A 10-square-meter apartment costs 2000 yuan per day, plus 2500 yuan for breakfast for the baby. The location is relatively poor compared to other apartments, but since it was the first day of our trip, I didn't want to affect my mood, so I didn't say anything and just added the money. The next day, we set off for Aurland. I just want to remind everyone of this ? Norway Q&A

My friend and I arrived in Tromso yesterday. We drove from the airport to the hotel, went through the local tunnel, and accidentally drove through the parking lot. When we entered the parking lot, we took the parking card, and when we left, we inserted the parking card and credit card, but there was no display of deductions. Is this considered as driving through without parking, and we don't need to consider the parking fee problem ? Norway Q&A
