Why is it worth booking a campervan in Iceland early?

With long summer days, quiet roads, and panoramic vistas, Iceland is just made for campervan vacations. Two to four weeks is the perfect length of time for a leisurely road trip around Iceland's Ring Road or Route 1. Just over 800 miles in length, this trip hits the country's highlights. Take your time cruising through the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, North Iceland, the East Fjords, and South Iceland before returning to enjoy a few days in the country's lively capital Reykjavik. Demand for camper rentals in Iceland peaks between May to September. This is when daylight hours are long and the weather is mild and sunny. To guarantee getting your choice of campervan during the peak season at a price that suits your budget, we recommend booking up to four months in advance. If, at first glance, the cost of camper rent in Iceland appears high, remember that you don't have to pay nightly rates for hotel rooms, hire a car, or dine out in restaurants every day. You also have the freedom to set your own itinerary as you drive through Iceland's stunning landscapes. Booking your camper in Iceland early also gives you plenty of time to enjoy planning your road trip with the help of CamperDay's experienced customer service team. Plus, you'll benefit from no-charge rebooking should your dates change and a fair and transparent cancellation policy.
