The rental company

RV Iceland, campervans to set off straight from Keflavík

RV Iceland hires out campervans and motorhomes in Iceland from a single depot, located in Reykjanesbær at IceRental 4x4, a few kilometres from Keflavík International Airport. Convenient for hitting the road shortly after landing, heading for the Golden Circle (Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss) or Route 1, the island's great coastal loop.

The fleet is based mainly on Forster and Weinsberg CaraTour campervans with two or four berths, complemented by a Weinsberg low-profile and two five-seat overcabs, a Weinsberg CaraHome and a Hobby Optima. Each model bears the name of an Icelandic volcano or mountain: Katla, Hekla, Askja, Esja, Keilir… Manual gearboxes dominate; Baula and Búrfell are available as automatics.

None of the RV Iceland offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026 limit mileage, a real advantage on a loop of more than 1,300 km. The excess did not appear in our observations: each offer specifies the amount.

Our verdict: a convenient choice for those arriving by plane who want a well-sized campervan, from couples to small families, without counting the kilometres. Its limits: a single depot, so you must return to your starting point, few automatic models and no 4x4s in the range, which rules out the Highlands' F-roads.

Our view

RV Iceland: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

RV Iceland is ideal if…

  • You are flying into Keflavík and want to set off straight away, without a detour via the capital
  • You plan to drive the whole of Route 1: no mileage cap in the observed offers
  • You are travelling as a couple and looking for a compact campervan, such as the Katla
  • There are four or five of you: four-berth campervans and five-seat overcabs
  • You prefer a campervan to a large motorhome for the narrow fjord roads

RV Iceland is not ideal if…

  • You are aiming for the F-roads and the Highlands, restricted to 4x4s
  • You absolutely need an automatic gearbox and your dates are tight
  • You want to return the vehicle in Akureyri or somewhere other than your starting point
  • There are more than five of you
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with RV Iceland

  1. Plan your transfer from the terminal

    The RV Iceland depot is in Reykjanesbær, at IceRental 4x4, not in the Keflavík terminal. How to get there and the hours when customers are received: the offer answers both questions. Read it before buying your plane tickets, especially if you land late in the evening or at dawn.

  2. Book an automatic early

    At RV Iceland, only the Baula (four berths) and Búrfell (two berths) campervans are available as automatics; all other models have a manual gearbox. If you do not drive a manual, book as soon as your dates are known, especially for summer.

  3. Inspect the campervan before leaving the depot

    Before leaving Reykjanesbær, examine the campervan with the agent, photograph the bodywork, windscreen and wheel rims, then check the kitchen and bedding inventory. Flying gravel, sand and wind are common on Icelandic roads: read what the cover offered includes and save the assistance number in your phone.

  4. Check the weather and road conditions every morning

    The wind can be violent in Iceland, to the point of tearing off a door opened into the gusts. Before each leg, check the forecast on vedur.is and the alerts on safetravel.is. Park facing into the wind where possible and hold doors firmly when opening them.

  5. Sleep at campsites

    In Iceland, spending the night in a campervan or motorhome outside campsites is in principle prohibited without the landowner's permission. Plan your stops in advance: many campsites close between autumn and spring, and those that stay open are scarcer in the north and east.

What travellers ask

Your questions about RV Iceland

Where do I pick up an RV Iceland vehicle?

All RV Iceland departures are from a single depot, at 2 Bogatröð, Reykjanesbær, on the premises of IceRental 4x4. The address is a few kilometres from Keflavík International Airport, but not in the terminal. Your booking confirmation explains how to reach the depot and the hours when the team welcomes customers; the offer also mentions this.

Is mileage unlimited with RV Iceland?

Yes. Across all the RV Iceland offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026, no mileage cap applies, whether for the small Katla campervan or the Keilir overcab. A real comfort on an island whose main loop, Route 1, is more than 1,300 km long, even before detours to Snæfellsnes or the Westfjords.

Which RV Iceland model should I choose?

For two, the Katla campervan or the Forster Helgafell and Búrfell are enough. For four, the Esja, Baula and Hekla campervans offer four berths. For five people, the Keilir and Sandfell overcabs add space, and the Askja low-profile has five seats for four berths. Compare the dimensions in each model listing.

Can I drive in the Highlands with RV Iceland?

The F-roads, which lead to Landmannalaugar or Askja, are restricted by Icelandic law to 4x4 vehicles, and the RV Iceland range has none. Its campervans and motorhomes are suited to Route 1 and ordinary paved or gravel roads. For the Highlands, look at the 4x4 campervans from GO Camper, Camper Iceland or Holdur.

How much does an RV Iceland hire cost in Iceland?

For a 14-day hire, mandatory fees included, prices observed in October 2026 put the RV Iceland campervan from €149 per day in January, with a median price of €200. The median rises to €330 in April and €376 in July. In July, the low-profile comes out at €361 and the overcab at €482 per day. Run a search for your dates.

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 — RV Iceland motorhome hire in Iceland

Why book RV Iceland with CoolDrive?

A single CoolDrive search shows RV Iceland campervans alongside those of other Icelandic hire companies, with the price shown including mandatory fees from the outset. You pay for your hire online, find the terms of each offer in one place and can contact our experts to choose the model, season or itinerary before confirming.

What excess applies at RV Iceland?

The RV Iceland excess amount did not appear in the offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026. Each offer specifies it, as well as the security deposit held at departure and the cover options that lower it. Before leaving, make sure your credit card limit covers this deposit, which is generally held on it.

Can I return the RV Iceland campervan somewhere other than Reykjanesbær?

No: RV Iceland has only one depot, in Reykjanesbær, so every hire ends where it began. Plan a loop itinerary: a full circuit on Route 1, or a return trip covering the Golden Circle and the south coast as far as Vík. For a return in Akureyri, look for a hire company present in both towns.

Where can I sleep with an RV Iceland campervan?

In Iceland, nights in a campervan or motorhome are in principle spent at a campsite, unless the landowner agrees otherwise. Sites are plentiful along Route 1 in summer, but many close out of season. Plan your stops in advance, especially from autumn to spring, and check opening dates.

Does RV Iceland hire out automatic campervans?

Yes, but the choice is limited: in the RV Iceland range, only the Baula, a four-berth Forster campervan, and the Búrfell, a two-berth Forster, have an automatic gearbox. All other models, overcabs included, are manual. For summer, book early if you do not drive a manual.

When should I hire an RV Iceland motorhome?

From June to August, the days are very long, campsites are open and Route 1 is easy, but demand is high. Spring and autumn are quieter, with changeable weather. In winter, observed prices are lower and the northern lights are possible, but short days, snow and wind call for careful driving.
