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. If you still have any questions or concerns about your choice of camper rental in Reykjavik check out the FAQs below or contact the friendly and knowledgeable CamperDays customer service team.

Helpful tips for your holiday in Reykjavik
If you want better weather conditions, rent a motorhome in Reykjavik and explore this wonderful city and surrounding areas during the summer months, between June and August. However, if you want to witness the aurora borealis, visiting between September and March is best.
- Hiking
You should avoid travelling to Iceland and Reykjavik during winter for hiking due to the shorter daylight hours and colder weather. The best time to go hiking in the Icelandic capital is summer, from June to August. Elliðaárdalur Valley is one of the most well-known and can be found just outside the city.
- Beach holiday
Although you will always run into temperate weather conditions in the Icelandic capital, you should aim for summer between June and August if you are looking for the most agreeable climate for beach-based activities. Eyrarbakki is great for camper vans as its on the southern coast and not as busy as other tourist areas.
- Sightseeing
Sightseeing can be done any time in Reykjavik; however, to avoid the harsher winter winds and cold snaps, it is best to stick to outdoor sightseeing between June and August. After visiting the capital, head to Seljalandsfoss, where you can park next to some amazing waterfalls.

Best campervan routes around Reykjavik
The Ring Road
Known as Route 1, the Ring Road is one of Reykjavik's most popular campervan routes. The circular road is the main highway on the island and covers around 1,332km. This route offers stunning views of fjords, black sand beaches, waterfalls, volcanoes, and glaciers and is one we would recommend when you hire a motorhome in Reykjavik.
The Golden Circle and South Coast
The Golden Circle and South Coast are other popular routes for camper van hire in Reykjavik. It takes you to the south coast of the country and back, and better if you prefer a more extended trip and want to stay within the Ring Road.
Snæfellsnes Peninsula & the Westfjords
For a less famous but just as breathtaking experience when you rent a campervan in Reykjavik, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula & the Westfjords route are perfect. The route starts from the capital city and takes you northwards on the ring road before you head to the west and tour the peninsula. This small region is often described as "Iceland in miniature" as it offers you a chance to experience many things that make the island a remarkable destination, from lava fields to the glacier known as Snæfellsjökull and the infamous black sand beaches.
Things to do and see
The Blue Lagoon: This lagoon is a large thermal pool with an average temperature of 38°C. It is known for its light blue color and the silica particles in its composition, which are beneficial for the skin. Visit the Blue Lagoon after a long journey to relax.
Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach: This beach is a great choice if you love golden sand and swimming in the ocean. Here, you'll find a thermal beach where hot water flows into the ocean, allowing visitors to bathe and relax in the Atlantic.
Snæfellsjökull: This national park was established in 2001 and covers the entire western tip of the peninsula. Don't miss out on taking some incredible hikes. There are many marked trails, each more amazing than the last. Some of these trails lead to the seaside, others, a bit more captivating, will take you across lava fields.
Lake Thingvallavatn: This lake is the largest natural lake in Iceland. Visitors can go fishing, or explore the hiking trails of the park, see the Silfra fissure or try snorkeling and diving.
