Review of MyCar

The service provided by MyCar rental company was absolutely perfect. Take over and drop off were fast and smooth and the (one man) staff was extraordinary friendly and helpful. The Landcruiser 150 4x4 was almost new (5000 km) and excellent for exploring Icelands unspoiled nature in the Highlands and remote areas. I highly recommend Icelands MyCar rental company.

Review of Lotus Car Rental

Both car and the service were great. We did the entire Ring Road (in 2 people) with the Toyota Aygo and could not be more satisfied with the car choice (especially the low gas consumption). The only thing that suprised us was that we were not able to connect our phone to the radio with Bluetooth (maybe we only did not know how). But listening to Icelandic radio was fine:) However, next time we better bring music on USB. Due to the current COVID situation I had to make several changes in the booking, one less than 24h before arrival and Lotus was able to help me. The car pick up was fast and easy, the drop off as well. The deposit we paid with debut card arrived less than 48h after the car drop off. I definitely recommend Lotus to everybody!

Frequently asked questions

Why rent a mini camper in Iceland?

Renting a mini camper gives you the freedom of not having to find accommodation for each night during your trip, which means that you will have more flexibility regarding your route. It can also be a good alternative for camping enthusiasts who appreciate a warm night’s sleep and it is a cheaper alternative than booking accommodation at a hotel.

Why rent a van in Iceland?

Renting a van in Iceland is a good idea, if you are travelling with a group of more than 5 people, as they are more spacious than smaller cars and can also fit more 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?

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. The models range from small, converted campers, such as 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 that has been made so that there is 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 very small motorhome.

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

Mini campers do not require a special license but some vans may have this requirement if they weigh more than 3500 kg. If you require more details, please contact the car rental company directly by clicking on the "Inquire about this car" button below the reservation form.

What are the most popular mini campers and vans to rent in Iceland?

The most popular campers are: Ford Transit, Dacia Dokker and Volkswagen Caddy. The most popular van is the Renault Trafic.

What is included in the rental?

All rental options include unlimited mileage and CDW insurance, though some will also add GPS devices or additional insurance. This means that extra attention must be paid to the ‘included’ section when finalising your booking. CDW insurance covers damage and injury caused by the vehicle, but does not cover damage caused to the vehicle itself. Also, be aware that some rental campers and vans will also 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 it is not recommended to go camping during the winter in Iceland. All services for campers will typically close at the end of September each year. 

What sort of tyres do these cars have?

During the summer months, campers and vans are generally fitted with typical tires, while in the winter, they are fitted with studded tires. Studded tires come with a vehicle from 1st November to mid-April.

Can I go into the highlands on this type of car?

Yes, there are certain rental options within this category that are possible to take to the Icelandic highlands. Models that are suitable are marked specifically, while the additional information within your booking documents will determine which part of the highlands you can visit or not. 

Is it legal to camp in the wild in Iceland?

Wild camping is allowed in Iceland, thought only in tents. New rules stipulate that you must get permission from the landowner to camp if; you plan to stay near human habituations or farms, if you’re planning on staying more than one night, if you are pitching more than three tents or if the land is cultivated. It is also important to talk to the landowner if if you plan to use tent trailers, tent campers, camper vans, caravans or similar equipment outside of a campsite. 

Do all vehicles come with a heating system?

Not all campers come with a heating system, but some rentals offer this is an add-on option. If you require more details, please contact the car rental company directly by clicking on the "Inquire about this car" button below the reservation form.
