motorhome.is One of Iceland's largest local motorhome and campervan fleets, by Geysir

What comes with every motorhome.is booking

motorhome.is keeps the practical essentials in the price. As an established Iceland motorhome and campervan rental operated by Geysir, its promise is straightforward: the rate you see already carries the things you actually need for a self-drive trip, and there are no hidden charges waiting at the counter.

The following come as standard across both vehicle groups, from the compact iKamper 4x4 campers to the six-berth family motorhomes. They reflect a company built around long Icelandic road trips, where distance and self-sufficiency matter more than desk formalities.

• CDW insurance included on every vehicle, so basic collision cover is in place from the moment you drive off.
• Unlimited kilometres on all rentals, so you can circle the Ring Road and beyond without watching a distance meter.
• Kitchen utensils supplied, so you can cook and eat on the road without buying gear on arrival.
• Free airport shuttle between Keflavík Airport arrivals and the depot at Bogatröð 11, which removes the need to arrange a transfer.
• No hidden charges, so the quoted price stays close to what you actually pay at the end of the trip.
• A 5% earlybird discount on prepaid bookings, a simple saving for travellers who commit to their dates ahead of time.

Two fleets, two kinds of trip

The most important thing to understand about motorhome.is is the split between its two vehicle groups, because it decides where you can legally and safely drive. The iKamper 4x4 campers, the Dacia Duster, Jeep Compass and Jeep Wrangler models, are true four-wheel-drive vehicles that are F-road approved, which means they are the only vehicles in the fleet cleared for Iceland's mountain F-roads and the gravel tracks that reach the Highlands. The motorhomes, by contrast, are front-wheel-drive and belong on sealed roads only.

• iKamper 4x4 campers: F-road approved rooftop-tent vehicles for travellers who want gravel-road reach and to sleep above the vehicle, seating five and sleeping two or four.
• Motorhomes for 2, 4 and 6: front-wheel-drive homes on wheels with kitchen, beds and living space, built for the paved Ring Road and the classic circuits.

Choosing between them is really a question of route and party size. A couple set on reaching Landmannalaugar or Thorsmork over summer gravel will want an F-road-approved iKamper camper, while a family touring the sealed Ring Road with children will be far more comfortable in a four or six-berth motorhome with proper living space. Because the front-wheel-drive motorhomes cannot legally use the F-roads, matching the vehicle to the plan before you book is the single most useful decision you can make with motorhome.is.

Details worth confirming

A couple of common questions are not published up front, so it is worth confirming them directly rather than assuming. motorhome.is does not publicly state its security deposit or its minimum driver age, both of which are standard considerations for any Iceland rental and can affect younger travellers in particular. Travellers should check the current terms for these details, along with the exact scope of the included CDW cover and any optional protection that can be added, before confirming a booking. The company can be reached on +354 455 0002 for anything the listing does not spell out.

Where a motorhome.is vehicle can take you in Iceland

motorhome.is keeps two distinct fleets by Keflavík Airport, so the right choice is less about the badge and more about the surface under your wheels. Collect your vehicle after a short free shuttle from arrivals, set off with unlimited kilometres and CDW already included, and here is how to match a motorhome.is vehicle to the routes you actually want to drive, sealed asphalt classics and summer gravel alike.

Paved classics: the front-wheel-drive motorhomes

Iceland's headline drives are all on sealed asphalt, which is exactly where the front-wheel-drive motorhomes feel most at home. The X-van motorhome for 2 is the compact pick for a couple touring the Golden Circle, the day loop that links Thingvellir National Park, the geothermal field at Geysir and the Gullfoss waterfall, while the Motorhome for 4 and the six-berth Economy and Family motorhomes carry families and groups along the South Coast to Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, the black-sand beach at Vik and, further east, the glacier lagoon at Jokulsarlon. Every one of these sights sits on paved road, and with unlimited kilometres on all motorhome.is rentals the distance never counts against you. These vehicles should stay on the standard road network, not gravel F-roads.

The full Ring Road: a comfortable home on wheels

When the trip grows into a full circuit of the island, a motorhome earns its keep by carrying beds and a kitchen with you. The Motorhome for 4 and the six-berth motorhomes are the motorhome.is choices for touring the whole Ring Road (Route 1), which loops the island in roughly 1,300 kilometres past waterfalls, fjords and fishing towns, where having your accommodation on board simplifies each overnight stop. They suit the Snaefellsnes peninsula too, often called Iceland in miniature, where a glacier-capped volcano, lava fields and the photogenic Kirkjufell mountain fold into one scenic circuit. Because these are front-wheel-drive vehicles, the plan should follow the sealed roads that connect these sights rather than any gravel detour.

F-roads and the Highlands: only the iKamper 4x4 campers

The interior of Iceland is a different country, and it calls for a genuine four-wheel-drive vehicle. The iKamper 4x4 campers, the Dacia Duster, Jeep Compass and Jeep Wrangler models, are the motorhome.is vehicles that are F-road approved, so these are the only ones cleared to take the gravel that climbs toward Landmannalaugar, with its 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 front-wheel-drive motorhomes are for sealed roads only and must never be driven onto an F-road, so if the Highlands are on your list, an iKamper camper is the vehicle to book.

Drive and sleep: the rooftop iKamper campers

If your idea of Iceland is waking beside the route rather than driving to a hotel, the iKamper campers give you a 4x4 by day and a rooftop tent by night. The Dacia Duster and Jeep Compass iKamper sleep two, ideal for couples, while the Jeep Wrangler iKamper sleeps four for a small family or group. This drive-and-sleep formula pairs real gravel-road reach with a place to bed down wherever the day ends, so you can follow the weather and the light along the Ring Road, the South Coast and, in summer, the Highland edges. Whichever vehicle you choose, the same motorhome.is principles travel with you: CDW insurance, unlimited kilometres, kitchen utensils and a free airport shuttle to get you started.

Iceland with motorhome.is, season by season

motorhome.is sits right by Keflavík International Airport at Bogatröð 11, reached by a free shuttle from arrivals, and every rental comes with CDW insurance, unlimited kilometres and kitchen utensils from around 99 euros per day. Prepaid bookings also earn a 5% earlybird discount. The honest question is not whether you can travel, it is which Icelandic season suits the trip you have in mind and which vehicle from the two motorhome.is fleets you should pair with it.

Summer: midnight sun, open F-roads, the widest choice

From roughly June to August the mountain F-roads and the Highland interior open, and the near-endless daylight of the midnight sun lets you drive late into the evening without chasing sunset. This is the most flexible window for a motorhome.is booking. For the paved circuits, the Ring Road, the Golden Circle, the South Coast and Snaefellsnes, a front-wheel-drive motorhome such as the Motorhome for 4 or a six-berth Family Motorhome keeps a group housed and fed along the sealed routes. If the interior is on your list, an F-road-approved iKamper 4x4 camper such as the Dacia Duster or the Jeep Wrangler unlocks the gravel roads and light Highland access those routes demand, with a rooftop tent so you can sleep wherever the long summer light leads.

Autumn: aurora begins, quieter roads, camper comfort

Autumn, from September to October, brings the first northern lights of the season, thinner crowds and a calmer pace on the roads, and it is a fine moment to tour the lowland circuits before winter sets in. A front-wheel-drive motorhome suits travellers who want warmth and living space by day and a comfortable base by night, while an iKamper 4x4 camper keeps a couple mobile on the gravel that is still open early in the season. With CDW insurance and unlimited kilometres included on every vehicle, an autumn booking with motorhome.is stays refreshingly low-stress even as conditions grow less predictable. As always, confirm the deposit and driver-age terms before you commit.

Winter and the spring shoulder, in any month

Winter, from November to March, is the aurora season proper, but it asks for genuine respect: daylight is short, the F-roads and Highlands close, and ice, snow and loose gravel reward a slow, deliberate pace. For most winter travellers a front-wheel-drive motorhome kept firmly on the cleared, sealed roads is the sensible base, letting you seek the lights by night and return to a warm cabin, while the F-road-approved iKamper campers lose their interior advantage once the mountain routes shut. Take exposed and single-track roads gently, check road and weather conditions before every leg, and never underestimate a sudden squall. Here the motorhome.is fundamentals genuinely earn their keep: CDW insurance, unlimited kilometres and kitchen utensils take some of the worry out of a winter trip, while the free airport shuttle suits a dark, late arrival at Keflavík. Spring, from April to May, is the quiet shoulder in between: milder driving on the lowland routes, longer light by the week, and calmer rates before the summer rush, with the higher passes and F-roads still shut until the thaw clears them. Book the vehicle for the season rather than the season for the vehicle, and Iceland tends to reward the choice.

Who motorhome.is is best for

motorhome.is is an established Iceland motorhome and campervan rental operated by Geysir, running one of the largest local fleets right by Keflavík Airport, so there is a sensible match for most kinds of self-drive trip. Whether you are planning a first Ring Road loop in a family motorhome or a summer push toward the Highlands in a 4x4 camper, you get the same CDW insurance, unlimited kilometres and kitchen utensils, backed by an honest 3.7 from 208 Google reviews and a free airport shuttle.

Couples set on reaching the interior are the natural fit for the smaller 4x4 campers. The Dacia Duster iKamper, from around 99 euros per day, and the Jeep Compass iKamper pair a manageable four-wheel-drive vehicle with a rooftop tent that sleeps two, and because they are F-road approved they can reach the gravel routes toward Landmannalaugar and Thorsmork that ordinary vehicles cannot. With unlimited kilometres and CDW included, they make a flexible base for two travellers who want to roam and sleep on the road.

Families and small groups who want living space step up to the motorhomes. The Motorhome for 4 is a newer front-wheel-drive vehicle that houses four with a kitchen and beds, while the six-berth Economy and Family motorhomes carry larger parties under one roof for a tour of the sealed Ring Road, spreading the cost across more travellers. These vehicles belong on paved roads, not F-roads, so they suit the classic circuits rather than the Highlands. Groups of four who want both capability and a shared base can take the Jeep Wrangler iKamper, which sleeps four and keeps the F-road option open.

Above all, motorhome.is is for travellers who value a wide choice of vehicles, all-inclusive basics and a local operator right by the terminal. The 3.7 out of 5 from 208 reviews is a middling score rather than a glowing one, so this is a company to book for its practical strengths, the range, the F-road-capable campers, the free shuttle and the included CDW and unlimited kilometres, rather than for a spotless reputation. Because the deposit and minimum driver age are not published, younger travellers and anyone budgeting carefully should confirm those terms before booking. If living on the road across a wide fleet is your priority, it is well worth comparing motorhome.is against the other Iceland options before you decide.
