MOTORHOME RENTALS IN ICELAND

If you plan on visiting Landmannalaugar or the Icelandic Highlands during your trip, you'll need to know about 4x4 camper rental in Iceland. Our wild backcountry is only accessible during the summer months when the F-roads (mountain roads) are open. For much of the year, these paths are impassible due to unpredictable road conditions and constantly changing the weather. Once the snow melts and the roads are deemed safe again by the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, certain types of vehicles are allowed to pass.  

F-roads are special because they are unpaved, gravel roads that require a 4x4 vehicle. Whether it's a Land Rover or camper rental, Iceland’s laws make it mandatory that you have an all-wheel drive. The good news is that 4WD camper rental in Iceland is entirely possible, you just have to reserve the right model. When you book your camper, inquire with your camper van rental company about the 4x4 camper options available. After all, you want to be able to go anywhere and everywhere, right?  

An Iceland VW camper rental model like the Transporter gives you the best of both worlds. Not only are you traveling with your cooking and sleeping facilities, but you can also drive in the Highlands during the summer. Just watch out for those unbridged rivers. Much of Iceland's interior is completely untouched, which means there are some shallow river crossings. I highly suggest you avoid these because the chassis of a camper is much lower than that of an SUV and no rental insurance covers water damage.  

If you want to explore the interior part of the country, then your camper van rental in Iceland needs 4x4 control. It's also a pretty good idea if you plan on driving in the winter as the roads will be icy and you will encounter slick conditions.
