Some car rental companies in Iceland offer a rooftop tent as a substitute for a motorhome. This can be a cheaper option than a campervan; however, it is less convenient, especially in cold or windy weather, which can occur in Iceland throughout the year.
Most land in Iceland is privately owned, and parking a campervan overnight outside of a registered campsite is strictly prohibited without prior approval from the landowner.
There are plenty of campsites in Iceland. They are relatively cheap, starting at around 1447 Icelandic króna per night.
Most campervan rental companies in Iceland have vehicle options that allow child/baby seats and booster seats.
However, not all vehicles may be compatible with a child seat, and not all companies have seats available to rent. Please check the features of the vehicle when booking.
Home to the country’s best-known volcanoes and glaciers, Iceland’s interior highlands can only be accessed by F-roads, indicated by a letter F in front of the road number on the map.
These mountainous and backcountry roads require a 4WD vehicle and are not advised for inexperienced drivers.
Always check whether F-roads are open, as the summer season is not long. Even then, be aware that conditions may be challenging – large rocks in the road, unbridged rivers, mud, and snow in all seasons.
Be aware that mobile reception is poor in Icelandic highlands, and there is only one gas station, in Hveravellir.
All motorhome rental providers have their depots in Keflavik, which is a short drive from Reykjavik and is the gateway for most visitors to Iceland via Keflavik International Airport.
Iceland is encircled by a Ring Road (Route 1) which connects many popular sights and is in suitable condition for standard vehicles. The road is just over 1,300 kilometres long – roughly thirteen hours of drive time – yet many visitors find that they’ll spend more than a week exploring the sites along the way.
Currently, all rentals in Iceland are based out of Keflavik (close to Reykjavik). Therefore, it is not possible to pick up and drop off rentals in other locations.
Many campervan rentals in Iceland include unlimited kilometres in the rental rate. Some brands cap kilometres on certain models (usually at 200 km per day). In those cases, extra kilometres can be purchased.
The comparison tool will show you whether your preferred vehicle has unlimited or restricted kilometres.
You can not camp freely in a motorized vehicle in Iceland. It is required by law that you have written permission from the landowner.
If you've arrived on a long international flight, consider resting a day or two before driving a motorhome. The same applies if you're arriving after hours - not all depots offer after-hour pickup.
Take care of your rental campervan, especially when planning a long trip. Check tyre pressure, coolant levels and follow other direction given by the RV rental company.
Campsites in Iceland are generally good with many extra facilities like showers and toilets. Unfortunately, most campsites close for the winter. The good news is, you are still able to camp, just without access to these extra facilities.
Its name meaning 'Bay of Houses', the northern Icelandic coast town of Husavik can claim the title of the country's earliest settlement. It was first inhabited in the year 870.
While fishing is still strong in Husavik, many visitors come for whale watching as well as nearby attractions along the Diamond Circle Route such as Lake Myvatn, the thundering waters of the powerful Dettifoss Waterfall, the port of Akureyri and Eider Falls.
A relatively new attraction along the Ring Road in Southeast Iceland, Jokulsarlon Lagoon did not exist prior to a warming trend that started around 1920. Due to increased melting of Vatnajokull Glacier (one of Europe's largest), Jokulsarlon has experienced rapid growth to become Iceland's deepest lake at 245 metres and, at present, covers 18 square kilometres.
Possibly the most photographed mountain in Iceland, Kirkjufell Mountain near the town of Grundarfjordur is a highlight of West Iceland’s 56-miles-long Snaefellsnes peninsula.
Its name meaning Church Mountain, Kirkjufell is an isolated peak, jutting fiercely out into the sea; its steep sides are a result of pressure, placed on the rock when it was squeezed between two glacial tongues.
The mountain can be climbed in about 90 minutes or there is an easy walking trail around the base, as well as to the three-pronged Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall.
Probably Iceland's most famous and photographed waterfall, sixty-metre-high Seljalandsfoss has as its source the glaciers of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano.
Easily accessed from the island-circling Ring Road (Route 1) and less than a two-hour drive from Reykjavik, the waters of Seljalandsfoss fall over an ancient sea cliff to feed a meadow that is filled with colourful wildflowers in summer.
