Review of Golden Circle Car Rental

I would highly recommend Golden Circle Rentals for your car rental. They were so helpful throughout the entire experience. Everyone I communicated with was great. They were on time and friendly. We did get different vehicles because the ones we originally booked were damaged by customers before we got there. But we were upgraded to nicer vehicles! I will recommend Golden Circle Rentals to anyone I know going to Iceland!

Frequently asked questions

Why rent a mini camper or campervan in Iceland?

Renting a mini camper gives you the freedom of not having to find accommodation for each night during your trip, so you have more flexibility regarding your route. It can also be a good alternative for camping enthusiasts who appreciate a warm night’s sleep.

Renting a basic campervan is cheaper than booking accommodation at a hotel when considering it covers your transport. Overall, it's a cost-effective option suitable for a variety of trips.

Why rent a van in Iceland?

Renting a van in Iceland is a good idea when traveling with more than five people, as they are more spacious than smaller cars and can also fit extra luggage items. Additionally, renting a van can help you save on fuel costs compared to renting several smaller vehicles.

What sort of cars are considered campers and camper vans in Iceland?

This category contains all vehicles that can double as accommodation, be they motorhomes, smaller camping cars, or cars equipped with attached camping gear or rooftop tents.

Choose from a wide range of models for your campervan trip. The selection of vehicles ranges from small, converted campers like Volkswagen Caddy to rooftop tent jeeps for Highlands travel, such as Suzuki Jimny and Mitsubishi Pajero.

What is the difference between a camping van and a car with a rooftop tent?

A camping van is a converted moving van with space for sleeping comfortably inside it. The rooftop tent vehicles have a foldable tent on the top of the car, accessible by a ladder. The rooftop tent is closer to regular camping, while the vans are more in the line of a tiny motorhome.

Do I need a special license to rent a van or mini camper in Iceland?

Mini campers do not require a special license in Iceland, but some vans may have this requirement if they weigh more than 7700 lbs (3500 kilograms).

What are the most popular choices of campervans and mini campers to rent in Iceland?

Among the various options to choose from, the most popular campers are the Ford Transit, Dacia Dokker, and Volkswagen Caddy. The most popular van is the Renault Trafic.

What is included in a campervan rental?

All rental options in Iceland include unlimited mileage and CDW insurance, though some will also add GPS devices or additional insurance. When finalizing your booking, you must pay extra attention to the ‘included’ section. CDW insurance covers damage and injury caused by the vehicle but does not cover damage to the campervan itself.

Also, be aware that some rental campers and vans will include free camping equipment, with the specific contents varying from option to option.

Are cars in this category suitable for driving in Iceland in all seasons?

Yes, but please be aware that camping during the winter in Iceland is not recommended. Services for campers will typically close at the end of September each year.

What sort of tires do these campervans have?

Campers and vans are generally fitted with regular tires during the summer, while they have studded winter tires in the winter. Winter tires come with all rental vehicles in Iceland from November to mid-April.

Can I go into the Icelandic Highlands in this type of car?

Yes, specific rental options within this category are possible to take to the Icelandic Highlands. Models suitable for the Highlands' rough roads are marked, and the additional information within your booking documents will determine which part of the Highlands you can visit.

Is it legal to camp in the wild in Iceland?

No, wild camping is not legal in Iceland. You must choose a designated camping site when looking for a place to sleep in your camper van.

Do all mini campers and vans in Iceland come with a heating system?

Not all campers in Iceland have a heating system, but some rentals offer this as an add-on option.
