Tips for renting a campervan in Iceland
Congratulations! Renting a camper or motorhome in Iceland is a fantastic way to explore the island's wild beauty. But, be prepared—especially if it’s your first visit. Here's what you need to know:
- Choose the Right Camper and Insurance. Iceland’s roads vary widely, so choose a camper that fits your route, and consider comprehensive insurance, like our Platinum Package, for peace of mind.
- Book Early. Campers are in high demand, so book early to ensure the freedom to explore Iceland at your pace.
- Understanding F-Roads and Off-Roading. If you’re heading to the Highlands, you’ll need a 4x4 to explore the F-roads, which are only accessible when the weather allows it. Off-road driving is illegal, so stick to marked paths.
- Winter Travel Precautions. Ensure your camper has winter tires. Drive carefully, as daylight is limited, and snowstorms can quickly reduce visibility.
- Drive Safely. Keep your headlights on, buckle up, and stay alert—especially on challenging roads.
- Where to Go. Not sure where to go? Consider the Ring Road for iconic views or the Diamond Circle in the North for hidden gems like Dettifoss and Lake Mývatn.

4.
Can I travel everywhere in Iceland with a motorhome or camper?
That really depends on what type of vehicle you decide to rent! Regular campers and RVs are great for the main roads and urban areas, but if you want to explore the more remote corners of Iceland, you’ll need a 4x4 campervan (compulsory if you want to take on the F-roads).

If you want to visit the Icelandic Highlands you’ll need to take on the challenging F-roads, which will require a 4x4 camper (no motorhomes allowed). Our Camper 4x4 California Beach has complete access to all of them, so book yours today and let the fun begin!

Essential guide to renting a campervan in Reykjavik
Ready to explore Reykjavik and Iceland’s stunning landscapes in your camper or motorhome? Here are some tips for a smooth and enjoyable journey around Iceland’s capital.
Once you land and pick up your rental, head to Reykjavik (a quick 40-minute drive) to start your adventure! The city offers parking spots for larger vehicles, but be mindful of parking signs—some areas are resident-only, while others have time limits.
Reykjavik’s traffic is lighter than many capitals’ but can get busy during rush hours, especially on main routes. Roundabouts are common, and vehicles inside always have the right of way, a rule you won’t want to forget inIceland.
Although Reykjavik has a reliable bus system, your camper is going to give you way more freedom. If you still want to give public transport a shot, the Reykjavik City Card offers unlimited bus rides and discounts at top locations.
For day trips, your camper is the best bet! Discover the Blue Lagoon’s geothermal waters, visit the Bridge Between Continents, or explore the Reykjanes Peninsula’s volcanic landscapes, geysers, and hot springs. Enjoy every second and make your Icelandic journey unforgettable!
Reykjavik campervan rental faqs
1.
Which type of camper is best suited for exploring Reykjavik?
For exploring Reykjavik, a compact camper or van, like the Caddy or Kangoo, is ideal due to the ease of navigating city streets and parking in urban areas. These smaller vehicles are perfect for city driving while still offering all the amenities needed for your trip. If you plan to venture further outside Reykjavik on rougher roads, a 4x4 camper or a motorhome may be better suited for your journey.
2.
What are the must-see attractions in Reykjavik for first-time visitors?
If it’s your first time in Reykjavik, we recommend visiting Hallgrímskirkja Church for panoramic city views, the Harpa Concert Hall for its stunning architecture, and the Sun Voyager sculpture. A stroll along Laugavegur, Reykjavik’s main shopping street, is also a must. Finally, go for a soak in the Sky Lagoon, a one-of-a-kind oceanside geothermal lagoon that will blow your mind away!
3.
Is insurance necessary for driving in Reykjavik and on the Ring Road?
Yes, insurance is highly recommended when driving in Reykjavik and along the Ring Road. Third-party liability insurance (CDW) is essential, but if you want additional coverage like Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) and Gravel Protection (GP), you can purchase our Platinum Insurance Package for peace of mind from day one.
4.
What is the nearest airport to Reykjavik?
The closest airport to Reykjavik is Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV), which mainly handles domestic flights and a few international routes to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. However, Keflavik International Airport (KEF), located about 45 minutes from the city center, is the main gateway for international travelers arriving in Iceland.
5.
Is it expensive to park in Reykjavik?
Parking in Reykjavik is reasonably priced compared to other European capitals. The city is divided into parking zones, with rates varying depending on proximity to the city center. The most expensive zones are around the downtown area, but as you move farther from the center, prices drop. Some areas also offer free parking at certain times of day.
6.
Where can I find information on Icelandic weather and road conditions before leaving Reykjavik?
You can check the Icelandic Met Office’s website (vedur.is) for up-to-date weather forecasts and alerts, and the Road and Coastal Administration website (road.is) for detailed road condition reports, including closures and hazards.
