The rental company

Kuku Campers: Iceland as a couple, in a Jimny and under canvas

Kuku Campers is an Icelandic rental company that presents itself as a budget option for exploring the island independently. Its depot is at 21 Flatahraun, in Hafnarfjörður, a port town in the Reykjavik area, south of the capital. The address is on the way to Keflavík international airport, about forty kilometres away.

On CoolDrive, a single vehicle is listed: the Suzuki Jimny, a small automatic 4x4 topped with a roof tent. Two people sleep in it, above the vehicle, and the cab seats two. It is a camper’s formula: no indoor kitchen or washroom on board, and a modest-sized boot.

No Kuku Campers offer was observed by CoolDrive in October 2026. The kilometres included, the excess, the security deposit and the protection offered are therefore to be read carefully in each offer: it is best to identify the protection on offer and any additional fees, such as cleaning, before departure.

Our view: an agile vehicle with four-wheel drive that gives access, in summer, to mountain roads when the rental company allows it, for a duo who enjoy camping. On the other hand, there is no enclosed living space when rain and wind set in, only two berths, a single depot and terms missing from our data.

Our view

Kuku Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Kuku Campers is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as two, with little luggage, and love sleeping under canvas
  • You dream of Landmannalaugar or the Highlands, accessible only by 4x4
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox on tracks and unfamiliar roads
  • You are travelling between June and August, when the nights are light and milder
  • You want a compact vehicle, easy to park in Reykjavik or Akureyri

Kuku Campers is not ideal if…

  • You are three or more
  • You want to cook and shelter inside when the weather turns
  • You are travelling in winter and want to sleep somewhere warm
  • You are travelling with large hard suitcases
  • You want to compare excess and mileage before even starting a search
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Kuku Campers

  1. Watch the wind before every night

    In Iceland, gusts can be violent, even in summer. Check the vedur.is forecast every evening and choose a sheltered spot, with the rear of the vehicle facing the wind. If there is a warning, keep the tent closed and sleep in solid accommodation: an emergency shelter is better than a battered tent.

  2. F-roads: plan your route with road.is

    The inland tracks, numbered F, generally open from late June to early September, depending on the snowmelt. The road.is website shows each day which ones are passable. Before setting off on them, check in the offer that Kuku Campers allows them and what the insurance covers for river crossings.

  3. Bring soft bags

    The Jimny’s boot is small, and part of the space is used for camping gear. Swap suitcases for soft travel bags, easy to fit in, and keep a rain jacket, a warm layer and a head torch close at hand for evenings in the tent.

  4. Keep a card with a PIN for fuel

    Many Icelandic fuel stations are unmanned, especially outside towns. They require a bank card with a PIN code. Fill up as soon as the tank is half empty in the East and the Westfjords, where stations are far apart, and before any Highland track.

  5. Read the fees and do the vehicle inspection

    Before signing in Hafnarfjörður, find in the offer the cleaning, fuel or late-return fees and the amount held as a security deposit. Walk around the vehicle, photograph the windscreen, bodywork and tent, test opening the canvas and keep the assistance number in your phone.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Kuku Campers

How much does a Kuku Campers hire cost in Iceland?

CoolDrive did not observe any Kuku Campers offer in October 2026, so we do not give an indicative price. The rate depends above all on the season, which is very pronounced in Iceland, and on the length of the trip. Run a CoolDrive search with Reykjavik and your dates: the price shown includes the mandatory fees and compares with the island’s other rental companies.

Where is the Kuku Campers depot?

Pick-up is at 21 Flatahraun, in Hafnarfjörður, in the Reykjavik area, about ten kilometres south of the city centre. From Keflavík airport, allow about forty kilometres via Route 41. Opening hours and any transfer options are stated in the offer and in your confirmation.

Can I drive on F-roads with the Kuku Campers Jimny?

The Jimny is a real 4x4, the type of vehicle required on the inland F-roads, which open in summer. Access, however, depends on Kuku Campers’ terms and on track conditions: check in the offer that it is permitted. River fords remain tricky for a small vehicle: if in doubt, turn back or wait for another vehicle.

What is sleeping in the roof-tent Jimny like?

The tent unfolds on the roof of the Suzuki Jimny and is reached by a ladder. It sleeps two people on a built-in mattress. Bring warm sleeping bags, even in July, as Icelandic nights stay chilly. In the morning, fold it away dry if possible, or let it air at your next stop.

Which season for a roof-tent trip in Iceland?

From June to August, temperatures are mildest, the night stays light and almost all campsites are open. F-roads often open in late June. In May and September, the trip becomes cooler and windier, but the roads are quieter. In winter, snow and storms make a roof tent unsuitable.

We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.

Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Kuku Campers campervan hire in Iceland

Why book Kuku Campers with CoolDrive?

In a single search, you see Kuku Campers alongside IceRental 4x4, Holdur or GO Camper for the same dates. The amount shown already takes the mandatory fees into account. Our team helps you choose between a roof tent and a campervan, decode Icelandic protection packages and check F-road access before you pay.

Is mileage unlimited with Kuku Campers?

Our October 2026 data contain no Kuku Campers offer: it is impossible to confirm. The kilometres included appear in each offer. A full tour of the island on Route 1 exceeds 1,300 km, not counting detours: check this point before booking. IceRental 4x4, Holdur and GO Camper include unlimited mileage in their observed offers.

What insurance should I plan for with Kuku Campers?

In Iceland, rental companies generally offer several levels of protection, with specific cover against flying gravel or sand and ash storms. Kuku Campers details its own in the offer, along with the excess and security deposit. Read what remains excluded, often the underbody and water damage.

Can I sleep wherever I like with a roof tent?

No: Icelandic law generally prohibits spending the night in a vehicle or roof tent outside campsites, unless the landowner consents. The country has many campsites, often basic and inexpensive, open mainly from May to September. Locate them as you plan each stage, particularly in the Highlands.

How do I get to the depot from Keflavík airport?

Hafnarfjörður lies on the road between the airport and Reykjavik, about forty kilometres from Keflavík. The buses linking the airport to the capital pass through the area. The rental company may also offer a transfer: check in the offer whether one is provided, at what price and at what times, especially for an early-morning flight.

Is the Jimny suitable for touring Iceland?

Yes, if you are travelling light and as two. Route 1 circles the island for about 1,300 km, mostly paved. The Jimny handles it without difficulty, but its small size makes it sensitive to gusts: ease off in strong wind, especially on the south coast and in the Eastfjords.
