Additional Tips for Campervan Travel in Iceland

Be Prepared for All Weather

Iceland's weather can be unpredictable. One moment you're basking in the sun; the next, you're facing wind or snow. Packing layers, waterproof jackets, and thermal undergarments is essential to staying warm and dry throughout your journey. All our vehicles are equipped with heating systems, but you’ll still want to stay comfortable when outside your camper.

Stock Up on Essentials Before You Hit the Road

Before heading to more remote areas, be sure to stock up on food, water, and other supplies in Reykjavik or larger towns along the ring road. While gas stations and convenience stores are spread throughout Iceland, the further you go from urban areas, the fewer options you’ll have. Our campers provide ample storage for your groceries and gear, making it easy to stay stocked for days.

Plan Your Campsite Stops in Advance

Campsites in Iceland are generally open year round, though some only operate during the summer months. Planning ahead ensures you’ll always find a perfect spot to park for the night, with access to good facilities. You can also check for amenities like showers, Wi-Fi, and laundry services, which can make your experience even more convenient.

Use a GPS or Travel App

Whether it’s your first Iceland trip or your tenth, having access to a navigation system is crucial. Use offline maps or a travel app that highlights main attractions, F roads, gas stations, and campsites. This ensures you're always on track and aware of any changes in road conditions, especially in remote parts of the Icelandic highlands.

Follow Icelandic Road Rules

Speed limits, road signs, and right-of-way rules in Iceland can be different from what you’re used to. Stick to posted speed limits, drive cautiously in areas with gravel roads or wildlife crossings, and always check your route for any road closures due to weather or maintenance.

Take Your Time

Perhaps the best thing about renting a camper with us is the freedom to slow down and savor each moment. Take time to enjoy a sunrise by a glacier lake, linger at scenic viewpoints, or hike through peaceful national parks. With your camper as your base, every stop can be spontaneous and memorable.

FAQ

What should I consider when choosing a camper rental?

When selecting a camper rental, consider your group size, travel route, and the season. Smaller mini campers are perfect for couples or solo travelers, while larger camper vans offer more room for families or groups. Make sure the camper includes heating systems, cooking equipment, and bedding.

If you plan to travel in winter or explore rugged areas, look for vehicles with studded winter tires and high clearance.

Do I need to book my campervan in advance?

Yes, booking your campervan rental in Iceland in advance is highly recommended. During peak travel months (June to August), campervans are in high demand. Booking early ensures you get your preferred vehicle type and rental dates.

We offer early booking discounts and free cancellation options.

Are campsites in Iceland easy to find?

Yes, campsites are widely available across Iceland, especially along the Ring Road and near major attractions like national parks and the Golden Circle. Many campsites operate seasonally, but several remain open year round. It’s a good idea to plan your route and check campsite opening hours ahead of time.

Is there a minimum age to rent a campervan in Iceland?

Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 20 years old with a valid driver’s license held for a minimum of one year. For larger or premium camper vans, the age requirement might be higher. Be sure to check with your rental provider before booking.

Can I use my regular driver’s license in Iceland?

In most cases, yes. If your license is in the Roman alphabet, it's typically accepted. However, travelers from countries where licenses are in non-Latin characters (e.g., Chinese, Arabic, or Cyrillic) must also carry an international driver’s license.

Do camper vans have automatic or manual transmissions?

Camper vans in Iceland are available with both manual and automatic transmissions.

Are campervans allowed on all Icelandic roads?

Not all campervans are allowed on Iceland’s F roads, which are rough mountain roads typically accessible only to 4x4 vehicles. Standard camper vans are ideal for paved and gravel roads but not permitted on F roads. Violating these restrictions may void your insurance.

How do I stay warm during my campervan trip?

To stay warm during your journey, use the camper's built-in heating system and pack thermal clothing, hats, and gloves. We can also provide sleeping bags and extra blankets. Some vans include overnight heating to keep the interior cozy while you sleep.

What is the typical fuel policy for camper rentals?

Most campervan rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy. This means if the camper is provided with a full tank and should be returned the same way. Be mindful of gas station locations in remote regions and fill up whenever possible.

Can I travel with children in a campervan?

Absolutely! Traveling Iceland by campervan with children can be a great family experience. Just make sure the vehicle has appropriate seat belts and bring or rent child safety seats. Some campervan models even include extra space for families.

What if I have an issue during my trip?

We offer 24/7 roadside assistance in case of breakdowns or emergencies. Contact numbers are provided during pick up. Make sure to keep your rental documents and insurance details handy.

Is cooking in the campervan allowed?

Yes, all our vehicles come with cooking equipment, including a gas stove and utensils. While cooking inside the van is possible, many travelers prefer preparing meals outside at campsites for better ventilation and space.

Do I need to pay a security deposit?

Yes, we require a security deposit via a valid credit card. This deposit is refunded after the vehicle is returned in good condition.

Can I rent a campervan in winter?

Yes, campervan travel in winter is possible and rewarding, especially for those wanting to see the northern lights. Just ensure your camper is equipped with studded winter tires and a heating system. Always check road and weather conditions daily before setting out.

We rented the Renault Trafic 3 from Iceland Campers to drive the Ring Road in winter, and the experience truly exceeded our expectations. The van proved to be an excellent choice for anyone looking for comfort, safety, and practicality while travelling in Iceland. One of the biggest highlights was definitely the heating system, which worked flawlessly throughout the entire trip. Even with freezing temperatures and long nights, the interior stayed warm and comfortable, which made a huge difference. The interior space of the van is another strong point. Well-organized and functional, it allowed us to store everything we needed in an accessible way while still keeping a cosy environment for sleeping and cooking. For two travellers, the Trafic 3 offers the perfect balance between external size and usable interior space. In terms of driving, the Renault Trafic 3 proved to be reliable and safe even in snow and ice. We completed the entire Ring Road without any issues — the van handled well, with good traction and stability, giving us confidence even on the most demanding roads. Another extremely positive aspect was the professionalism of the Iceland Campers staff. Always helpful, attentive, and ready to assist, from the pick-up moment to the end of the trip. They made the whole process simple and stress-free. Overall, the experience was extremely positive. We highly recommend the Renault Trafic 3 and Iceland Campers to anyone planning to drive the Ring Road, especially in winter. Reliable, comfortable, and supported by an outstanding team.

I rented a car from Iceland campres during my trip to Iceland. While I encountered a few minor issues, the company’s exceptional customer service truly stood out. They were highly responsive, addressing my concerns promptly and professionally. Their dedication ensured that my journey continued smoothly. I highly recommend [iceland campres] to anyone planning to visit Iceland. Their commitment to customer satisfaction makes them a reliable choice for car rentals in the region.

To start off, I contacted Iceland Campers about four months in advance by phone, and was immediately met by Eythor (the owner) on the other end. From that first call and all the way until the very last day of our trip, he was always available to answer our countless questions about everything related to a Ring Road journey in Iceland. I just want to give a huge personal thank you for your incredible work ethic and helpfulness. You are extremely service-minded, and it truly shows—it was both noticed and deeply appreciated. You really put our minds at ease throughout the entire trip! A few days before our departure, we realized that we had accidentally booked our van one day too early—both for the pick-up and the return. Luckily, this turned out not to be an issue at all. The van was still available for two more days after our departure, and Iceland Campers kindly let us adjust the booking by one day without any fees or problems. That was a big relief and speaks volumes about their flexibility. The trip itself was absolutely amazing. We truly got the full Iceland experience—everything from wild winds and heavy rain to stunning rainbows over waterfalls on sunny days. We saw it all: waterfalls, puffins, lava fields, mountains, and so much more! For our family of five (basically five adults), having a rental van was essential. We chose the Grand Camper, and it was perfect for us. Of course, traveling with soaked clothes after the rain wasn’t always ideal, but we managed just fine. The space inside was more than enough, and overall it worked out really well for everyone. Towards the end of our trip, we unfortunately had a flat tire in Vik. But, just as with everything else, the service was excellent. We were quickly guided on how to find the spare tire and the right tools to fix it. We were even offered help in the morning, but since we wanted to get going early, we managed to fix it ourselves without any problems. The prices are also very competitive, especially considering that Iceland Campers is still a smaller, family-owned company. That’s a huge plus in my book—without compromising on quality in any way. All in all, I can’t think of a single thing to complain about. This was truly a 5-star experience! Over the past few years, we’ve traveled quite a lot around Europe, and I’ve noticed that family-owned businesses are almost always the best option. If you’re deciding between Iceland Campers, a bigger rental company, or any other alternative—look no further. Even though I haven’t tried other companies in Iceland, I can confidently say that you can’t go wrong with Iceland Campers. Much love from Sweden and from my entire family—thank you once again for helping turn this trip into lifelong memories!

We had the best experience with this company. Communication was excellent, and the owners were incredibly helpful. Our trip was fantastic thanks to the comfort of the camper, which was fully equipped with kitchenware, a refrigerator, chairs, and tables that made our experience even more enjoyable. The staff's energy was outstanding from beginning to end, which is why we always recommend them. We would rent from them again a thousand times.

We simply notified them once we’d collected our luggage, and our driver arrived promptly—no waiting around in the cold with tired kids. He was incredibly helpful, loading all our luggage and assisting with our three little ones, making the transition smooth and welcoming. Upon arrival at their location, we were greeted by Eythor, the Director of Operations, who delivered one of the most thorough briefings I’ve ever experienced. He walked us through everything: operating the van, navigating Iceland’s unique roads (including those tricky roundabouts), parking fees, tolls, road conditions, and even recommended websites and resources for real-time updates. Eythor was patient beyond words, taking the time to answer every single question we had, which instantly built our confidence and trust in the company. Traveling from the USA, we weren’t familiar with Iceland’s driving and camping norms, but his guidance made us feel fully prepared. Since we were traveling with kids, we’d added a bunch of extras to our rental—car seats, chairs, a table, stove, gas, and more—and Eythor meticulously checked off every item to ensure nothing was missing. No surprises or shortages here! Right after the briefing, he led us to our van, which was spotless, perfectly cleaned, and fully equipped with everything we’d ordered. We hit the road without a single delay, unlike the horror stories we’d heard about dirty vans or last-minute holdups from other providers. Eythor didn’t stop there; he provided us with all the contact info and phone numbers we’d need for any issues during our trip—roadside assistance, emergencies, you name it. Thankfully, we never had to use them because our 9-day adventure went flawlessly. The van performed beautifully as we explored Iceland’s stunning landscapes, and the initial briefing was key to navigating the societal differences in driving and camping compared to back home in the USA. Iceland Campers’ attention to detail gave us the confidence to focus on making memories, not worrying about logistics. This company is an absolute must if you want a partner who truly sets you up for success. At the end of our trip, dropping off the van was just as seamless. We met Eythor and Charlie, who handled everything efficiently. Since we’d booked a hotel for our last night in Iceland (after spending most of the trip far from Keflavík), Charlie kindly provided transportation back to our hotel. But he went above and beyond—knowing we had one evening left, he shared fantastic recommendations for nearby restaurants and viewpoints, even driving me around to point them out and giving detailed overviews of the best foods and spots to enjoy with the family. It was such a thoughtful touch that capped off our vacation perfectly. Later that day, we received a confirmatory email from Iceland Campers ensuring all parks, tolls, and fees were squared away—no loose ends or surprises. This level of professionalism and follow-through is rare and truly sets them apart. In summary, Iceland Campers turned what could have been a daunting trip into an unforgettable, hassle-free adventure. Their team—especially Eythor and Charlie—treated us like family, and we’re already planning our next visit with them. Five stars—book with confidence!

Will book with Iceland Campers if we were visiting this beautiful country again in the future. Iceland is To go with them was such a good choice. The van was a very good car to drive. The van‘s front window broke because of a small stone from the road but we had the zero risk insurance so we didn‘t have to worry about it at all. We recommend this camper van rental without hesitation. Thank you Iceland Campers!
