Last time we used autopass.no This will be defunct soon.
BroBizz offers a worthwhile discount for the 2 bridges
It seems an allin one pass may be availab;l1
1 The 2 bridges
2 Norway tolls
3 ferries
May need to register again for ferries
EPC is a european system but ??? not actually needed
Brobizz does not seeem to recognise uK ?
 
The BroBizz app seems to work albeit for a fee of 200DK
It ius also handy as we can return via the short H to H Ferry which save some driving
The ferr pass wbsite worked fine
I have registered with both but not paid anything yet.
May not even go !
However all setup ready nothing else needed ? (tunnel and covid docs)

Which krone are you using for price ? Danish or Norwegian.
We are thinking of going around july..not done any research yet though.
 
We will be going in the summer. Would be interested to hear more. To my quick reading, The brobizz app is free if you do not get the gadget and just register your number plate. That seems to work for Danish and Denmark to Norway connections but not for Norwegian bridges/ferries? Is that others understanding? Critically does that deliver the 21%discount?
 
My understandng is
1 you have to pay by Bizz 200 kroner (danish)
It seems to be usable all over Sweden (stockholm) and all of norway road tolls
I need to verify discounts applied
The ferry paas is another system I was logged in but it seems you have to veriry again..NOT today
Update yoou have to pay 3000NOK upfront
I am pretty sure thety will refund in due course

Nothing paid yet
Will see if my registration remains in place ???

You need road autopass but that website is not available

Seems they are revamping but not ready !
 
Update again
ALL seems to be via BroBizz order bizz then go back to the ferry site
Fussy of effing fussy !
 
excuse me jumping in: we were planning a trip to Lofoten Islands in April, via Chunnel. Having difficulty working out animal health cert, covid restrictions (can we travel freely across borders once in the EU?), fuel restrictions and very wobbly about Russian situation. I know this is a very subjective Opinion that I’m seeking, but do you think I’d be better off just meandering down through France? I only have a month off, then it’s back to work (NHS retire and return) and we haven’t motored through Scandinavia before. I’d appreciate any thoughts whilst I procrastinate!
 
A month does seem quite short for that trip. We are planning on 3 months, as you say Russia and future covid situations allowing.
There seems no problem wild camping, the food is expensive, allowing for ferries and bridge tolls etc I see no problems.
 
As above a month isn't much time, you could end up turning a holiday into a marathon unless you aren't worried about sightseeing on the journey.
 
Lofoten are a long way north !
As others have posted . Time expense benefit equation.
For us 3 months is just enough time.
Even if racing Calais to Malmo is surely 1week !

April is probably too early in the year as most campsite that far north do not open until May for the simple reason that off the motorway the ground is covered in snow and it’s deep snow

Indeed !
Also most of the tourist mountain roads do not open until 1st June.
June 21 maybe mid-summer but for many places of this latitude there is what I call "Snow Lag"
Good to plan to arrive in Norway/Sweden at the end of May and leave mid-August.
Fits in ok with the 90 day limit !

We thought somewhat later, you avoid the worst of the midge, mosquito, Black flies and the Northern lights are supposedly best around the equinoxes. Then get out quick before the "snow door" slams shut.

Been up to Nordkapp a few times, in 3 weeks holidays. If a month is what you have, well thats what you have.
It is a long way though, if you were heading south, the same distance from Calais to Lofoten Islands would see south of Marrakesh. If you wan't any amount of time at your chosen destination, you just have to accept you have a few days behind the wheel, not everyones cup of tea, of course, but like you I don't have months and months of holiday and I want to see more than France.

Thanks - we were planning to hit the road hard on the way out, and it’s good to hear that it’s doable. We can spend more time when we have more time, right now we need an adventure 👍
 
Time and costs ! And Fuel availability !
Getting to Norway/Sweden is expensive.
Indeed in Norway you also have road tolls and ferry costs.
And food is more especially if you eat out.
However camping in lovely places is very cheap.
Mileage is inevitably high but...

I have reviewed the total cost of our last trip and I an guestimating for another trip.
I think that channel big bridges road tolls and ferries will be about £1,000 spread over 90 days so £11 a day.
I "trade this off" against reduced camping costs. Maybe saving £10 per day.
(If we were to stay in Uk campsites at at least £15 a night soon mount up)
Our mileage would be less at say 5,500 compared with 7,000 and a 90 day trip rather than 105
the biggest change is fuel costs....as of today.
Uk is £1.73
Norway is £1.72
Sweden is 1.93
Belgium 1.80 or so.
Germany £2 or so.
Denmark .£1.70.
Thus a ball park figure 6000miles is say 200 galls so 900 litres allow £2 a litre.
£1800 over 90 days # £20 a day.or £150 a week
On most of our trips we used a lot less cashwise but everything is spiralling.
I just say that for us the 2 major costs are.
All the ferry bridge tunnels etc £1000
Diesel £1,800 to £2,000 so a total of say £3,000 but with inbuilt contingenct.
So the nasty costs work out as £1000 per month.
Not nice but do-able.
The worry is...will fuel be available ? As filling up required every 5 or 6 days !

There is a new fuel app available which seems to do a lot more than the existing ones , it’s called 1-2-3 Fuel, looks quite useful.
