RV rental in Reykjavik

Why is it worth booking an RV rental in Reykjavik early?

Iceland in the summer is an ideal destination for campervan holidays and its capital, Reykjavik, is the perfect starting point. Pick up a campervan in Reykjavik and make the most of the long summer days and diverse scenery of Iceland. Use Reykjavik as a starting point for an around Iceland road trip or cruise your way around the Golden Triangle taking in magnificent waterfalls, thermal baths, and high-shooting geysers. With Iceland's small population, roads away from Reykjavik are always quiet and surrounded by stunning scenery. Why not bookend your trip with a few days spent exploring the history, culture, and lively nightlife of Reykjavik itself? Demand for campervan hire in Reykjavik peaks between May and September so to be sure of getting the vehicle, equipment, and dates you want, we recommend booking up to four months in advance. If the cost of campervan rent in Reykjavik appears high do some sums and compare it with the cost of booking hotel rooms and car hire, as well as dining out every night. Your van comes with all the home comforts and kitchen appliances you need for a week or more on the road. Your booking is flexible with no additional costs if you need to change your travel dates, while the CamperDays cancellation policy is fair and transparent.
