Looked up renting a car for pick up in Bodo and drop off in Narvik for 3, yes, 3 days only. Price: $775 U.S.!! The drop off fee is ridiculous. Our plans were to take Hurtigruten to Bodo, car travel in Lofoten Islands and return the car to Narvik to get the overnight train to Stockholm.
But at this price, I can't see it happening. Any suggestions?
Car rental prices in Norway - OUCH!!

Have a look at VisitNorway.com. They have a lowest price guarantee for car hire, but I fear, like most things in Norway, car hire is expensive.
Through that site Europcar has a standard car (VW Passat) for $201 a day. Smaller cars are cheaper of course.
Just wait until you try to buy an "inexpensive" meal . . .
I know we did not pay that much back in 2009, but it was from a major town (Bergen) to a major town (Trondheim). Kemwel was on the face of it cheaper than AutoEurope, but Kemwel's agency would charge a one way fee that would have made the total of that rental more expensive.
Welcome to "ouch Norway"
At $200/day that's $600 for 3 days, but that's without certain taxes, I believe. Anyway, I could buy a used car for that amount (in the U.S.) that would work for at least a week. And I've heard gas is pretty high too even though Norway produces so much of it. So, I guess we'll have to think differently as far as getting around. That's now IF we go.
