- Choosing the dates
Planning your trip in advance is extremely important. First of all you should choose the best time when you will travel. Personally I would recommend you travel just before or after the season. Prices for the rentals are lower and the weather and roads conditions are much better and safer.
- Planning the itinerary
Planning your route might be quite difficult. We do recommend you to take short distances at first as a beginner. You should check the roads beforehand in order to check if the vehicle you rent is suitable for them. Booking campsites in Iceland in advance is not necessary but you should check it out to plan your stops. Remember, you should have a good rest before driving next day!
- Checking the equipment
Most of the motorhome and campervan Iceland rental companies offer a full list of equipment. All the necessary and basic equipment is usually included in the price. Here I mean kitchen utensils, gas stove and basic chemicals. However, you should check the list carefully to make sure the linen is included or not also the gas bottle which is important to start your trip. There might thus some extra cost for that. As we know how limited is the baggage in airlines, we recommend you to include this extra cost in your budget and rent it here in Iceland.
- Be aware of regulations and fees on the roads
You should read and acknowledge the road traffic regulations before coming to Iceland to avoid any surprises. Thanks to this you will avoid any dangerous situations on the roads. Especially in Iceland where it looks a bit different than in the rest of Europe. You should be aware of the speed regulations to avoid any fines which can be quite expensive.
