Where you can go
Where a Campervan Reykjavik camper can take you in Iceland
Campervan Reykjavik keeps its fleet at Keflavik Airport, so the right choice is less about the badge and more about the surface under your wheels. Collect your camper with a free airport transfer, point it east with unlimited mileage and CDW insurance already included, and here is how to match a Campervan Reykjavik vehicle to the routes you actually want to drive, sealed asphalt classics and summer gravel alike.
Paved classics: the Odin campers
Iceland's headline drives are all on sealed asphalt, which is exactly where the budget two-berth Odin campers feel most at home. The Odin Dokker, from around 8,072 ISK per day, is the natural budget pick for a couple on the Golden Circle, the day loop from the capital region that links Thingvellir National Park, the geothermal field at Geysir and the thundering Gullfoss waterfall. For those who prefer to leave the gearbox alone, the Odin Doblo Auto, from about 10,200 ISK per day, is a relaxed automatic two-berth that eats up the South Coast run to Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, the black-sand beach at Vik and, further east, the glacier lagoon at Jokulsarlon and its neighbouring Diamond Beach. Every one of these sights sits on paved road, and with unlimited mileage on all rentals the distance never counts against you.
The full loop and the west: a larger Freyja camper
When the trip grows longer, a roomier camper comes into its own. The Freyja Caratour and the panel-van Freyja Benivan Basic are the Campervan Reykjavik campers for touring the full Ring Road (Route 1), which loops the whole island in roughly 1,300 kilometres past waterfalls, fjords and fishing towns, where the extra living space pays off over long days between stops. Both suit the Snaefellsnes peninsula too, often called Iceland in miniature, where a glacier-capped volcano, lava fields, bird cliffs and the photogenic Kirkjufell mountain fold into a single scenic circuit. With sleeping for up to three in the Benivan Basic, a small family can settle in for the whole loop, and unlimited mileage keeps the long legs simple.
Gravel and the Highland edge: the 4x4 Thor campers
The interior of Iceland is a different country, and it calls for a genuine four-wheel-drive camper rather than a badge alone. The Thor Duster Roof Tent 4x4, from about 13,356 ISK per day, the Thor Eclipse Roof Tent 4x4 Auto and the Thor Campster 4x4 are the Campervan Reykjavik vehicles with the drivetrain and clearance that gravel roads demand, so these are the ones to take onto the tracks that climb toward Landmannalaugar, with its ochre and rust rhyolite peaks and natural hot springs, or into the green glacial valley of Thorsmork. Two honest caveats apply. First, the F-roads open only in the short summer window, roughly mid-June to September, once the snow has cleared, and many require fording unbridged rivers that are never covered by rental insurance. Second, the budget 2WD Odin campers are for sealed roads only and should never be driven onto an F-road; keep them to the paved classics.
Drive and sleep: the rooftop-tent Thor campers
If your idea of Iceland is waking beside the route rather than driving back to a hotel, the Thor Eclipse Roof Tent 4x4 Auto and Thor Duster Roof Tent 4x4 combine the reach of a capable 4x4 by day with a two-person sleeping platform by night, so you can stop where the light is best along the Ring Road and South Coast and cook a simple meal at the roadside. Whichever camper you choose, the same Campervan Reykjavik principles travel with you: CDW insurance included, unlimited mileage, heating, a kitchen and free extras, plus a free airport transfer at each end and flexible cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup.
