RV Iceland Motorhome specialist right by Keflavik Airport

What comes with every RV Iceland booking

RV Iceland keeps the practical essentials of self-contained travel in the vehicle. As a motorhome specialist based right by Keflavik Airport, its promise is straightforward: the equipment you actually need to live on the road, warmth, a toilet, a shower and gas ready to use, is built into the motorhome from the moment you collect it.

The following come as standard across all seven motorhomes, from the compact Caratour 540 to the six-berth CaraHome 700 DG. They reflect the company's focused, motorhome-first approach: a vehicle that is genuinely ready to be your home for the trip, not just transport between hotels.

• Two gas bottles included with every motorhome, so cooking, hot water and heating are ready from the first night with no gas run before you leave.
• Onboard heating system in every model, so you stay warm through Iceland's cool nights and shoulder-season chill.
• An onboard toilet in every model, so you can travel and camp in comfort without depending on facilities.
• An onboard shower in every model, keeping you fully self-sufficient on longer stretches of the island.
• Airport shuttle service connecting Keflavik arrivals to the base, so pickup is quick and simple after you land.

Good to know before you book

A few practical points are worth settling before you travel. The minimum driver age is 25, and every driver must have held their licence for at least 24 months, so make sure anyone who intends to drive meets both conditions. All seven motorhomes are two-wheel drive and not permitted on F-roads, so plan your route around the paved network. Availability also depends on the season: the Caratour 540 and both Forster Van 599 VB versions are offered in every month of our search, the Forster Van 599 EB models from April, and the Weinsberg R58 and CaraHome 700 DG from May.

Terms to confirm at booking

Our search shows a security deposit of 480,000 ISK, around EUR 3,497, and three insurance options, CDW, MEDIUM and ZERO RISK, with zero-excess cover (ZERO RISK) from about EUR 66 per day. Optional extras include an additional driver, kitchen essentials, a bed linen set, camping table and chairs, WiFi, a map of Iceland, child seats and a booster seat. Free cancellation is listed up to 30 days before pick-up. Mileage terms are not shown in our data, so check them in the booking terms. A quick read keeps the whole trip predictable from booking to return.

Where an RV Iceland motorhome can take you

RV Iceland keeps its fleet by Keflavik Airport, and every model is a two-wheel-drive motorhome that is not permitted on F-roads, so the right plan is built around Iceland's paved roads. Collect your motorhome a short shuttle from arrivals, point it east with heating, a toilet and a shower already on board, and here is how to match an RV Iceland vehicle to the routes you can actually drive.

Paved classics: any of the motorhomes

Iceland's headline drives are all on sealed asphalt, which is exactly where these motorhomes are at home. The compact Fiat Caratour 540, from around EUR 204 per day, is the natural pick for a couple touring 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, then sleeping self-contained wherever the evening finds them. For families, the four-berth Forster Van 599 VB or Fiat Weinsberg R58 handle 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 the onboard heating, toilet and shower mean you can linger late into the evening rather than racing back to a hotel.

The full loop and the west: a roomier motorhome

When the trip grows longer, a roomier motorhome comes into its own. The six-berth CaraHome 700 DG, from around EUR 449 per day, and the four-berth Weinsberg R58 are natural choices 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. Both are offered from May in our search, which lines up neatly with the main touring season.

F-roads and the Highlands: not with RV Iceland

The interior of Iceland is reached on mountain F-roads, and these are off limits for this fleet. All seven RV Iceland motorhomes are two-wheel drive and not permitted on F-roads, so Highland access is not possible with RV Iceland vehicles. That rules out driving yourself to places such as Landmannalaugar or into the valley of Thorsmork with one of these motorhomes. If the Highlands are high on your list, compare 4x4 options for campervan rental in Iceland, or keep the motorhome on the paved network and book a guided tour into the interior from a lowland base.

Easy first days: the Reykjanes peninsula

Because the base sits beside Keflavik Airport, the Reykjanes peninsula is right on your doorstep, a gentle first leg while you get used to the size of a motorhome. Paved roads lead to the lava fields and geothermal areas of the peninsula, and the drive towards the capital region and the Golden Circle is short and straightforward. Travellers who prefer not to change gear can choose one of the two automatics, the Forster Van 599 VB Automatic from about EUR 447 per day or the Forster Van 599 EB Automatic from about EUR 462 per day. Whichever model you choose, RV Iceland's motorhome-first thinking travels with you, with the whole paved island ahead.

Iceland with RV Iceland, season by season

RV Iceland sits right by Keflavik International Airport in Reykjanesbaer, a short airport shuttle from arrivals, and its fully equipped motorhomes come with a heating system, a toilet and a shower on board plus two gas bottles included. In our search prices start from about EUR 204 per day, with a typical rate across the fleet of around EUR 394 per day. The honest question is not whether you can travel, it is which Icelandic season suits your trip and which RV Iceland motorhome is offered when you want to go.

Summer: midnight sun and the full fleet

From roughly June to August the near-endless daylight of the midnight sun lets you drive late into the evening, and all seven RV Iceland motorhomes are on offer. It is also the most expensive window, with a typical summer rate across the fleet of about EUR 425 per day. Typical summer prices in our search run from about EUR 282 for the Fiat Caratour 540 and EUR 389 for the Forster Van 599 VB to about EUR 516 for the six-berth CaraHome 700 DG. The Highland F-roads open in summer, but they stay off limits for these 2WD motorhomes, so tour the paved circuits, the Ring Road, the Golden Circle, the South Coast and Snaefellsnes, and sleep in comfort wherever the long light leads.

Autumn: aurora begins, quieter roads, lower prices

Autumn, from September to October, brings the first northern lights of the season, thinner crowds and a calmer pace on the roads, and prices ease too, with a typical autumn rate across the fleet of about EUR 399 per day. The Caratour 540 is typically around EUR 263 and the four-berth Forster Van 599 VB around EUR 372 per day. All seven models are still offered through October, and onboard heating keeps the cabin warm as the nights lengthen, with a shower and toilet for self-sufficient stops and two gas bottles ready for hot meals after a day chasing clearing skies.

Winter and the spring shoulder

Winter, from November to March, is the aurora season proper, and the cheapest time to rent: the Caratour 540 starts from about EUR 204 per day and the Forster Van 599 VB from about EUR 295. Choice is narrower, though, because in our search only the Caratour 540 and the two Forster Van 599 VB versions are offered in winter. Daylight is short and ice, snow and wind reward a slow, deliberate pace, so check road and weather conditions before every leg. Spring, from April to May, is the quiet shoulder in between, with a typical rate across the fleet of about EUR 356 per day. Some models are only offered from spring: the Forster Van 599 EB and its automatic version from April, and the Weinsberg R58 and CaraHome 700 DG from May. Book the vehicle for the season rather than the season for the vehicle, and Iceland tends to reward the choice.

Who RV Iceland is best for

RV Iceland is a motorhome specialist sitting right by Keflavik Airport, with seven fully equipped motorhomes sleeping two to six, all with heating, a toilet and a shower on board, so there is a sensible match for most kinds of self-contained Iceland trip on paved roads. Whether you are planning a first Ring Road loop or a winter aurora trip, you get the same motorhome-first approach, backed by a strong 4.6 stars from 95 Google reviews.

Couples have two natural fits. The compact Fiat Caratour 540, from about EUR 204 per day, sleeps two with a double bed, kitchen, shower and heating, and is offered all year. For a newer interior, the 2026 Forster Van 599 EB, from about EUR 347 per day, is built for two with improved insulation and a cosy dining space, offered from April. Either lets a pair tour the Golden Circle and South Coast and sleep in genuine comfort each night.

Families and small groups step up to the four-berth motorhomes. The Forster Van 599 VB, from about EUR 295 per day, sleeps four with four seat belts and comes in manual or automatic, while the Fiat Weinsberg R58, from about EUR 337 per day, adds generous storage for luggage and outdoor gear from May to October. Both carry the same onboard heating, toilet and shower, giving parents and children space to travel and sleep together over a longer trip.

Larger groups have one clear option: the CaraHome 700 DG, from about EUR 449 per day, sleeps six across an overcab bed, a rear double bed and a convertible dinette, though it has five seat belts, so check your numbers. Bear in mind the minimum driver age of 25 and the requirement that all drivers have held a licence for 24 months, and remember that no RV Iceland motorhome may drive F-roads. Above all, RV Iceland is for travellers who want a self-contained trip on Iceland's paved roads, with a well-rated motorhome collected a short shuttle from the terminal.
