Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section, where you’ll find answers to the most common questions about renting and traveling with a camper in Iceland. Whether it’s about our services, policies, or tips for your adventure, we’ve got you covered.
General Campervan Questions
To rent and drive our campers, you must be at least 20 years old. However, for premium models such as the Go 4x4 LUX, Go 4x4 PRO, and Go 4x4 WRANGLER, the minimum age requirement is 25 years.
If you do not meet the age requirement but have held a valid driver’s license for at least one year, you can still rent a camper by paying a young driver fee of €25 per day.
If you have selected a campervan with a heater, it will be equipped with a high-quality Webasto® heater. This heater is powered by a leisure battery, providing over 8 hours of strong heat without needing to run the engine. You can rest assured that you’ll stay warm and comfortable while sleeping in a Go Campers campervan!
No, there is no kilometer limit. All our campervan rentals include unlimited mileage, so you can explore Iceland freely without worrying about extra charges.
Yes, during the winter season, all our campervans are fitted with studded winter tires to provide better grip and safety on icy roads.
Only 4WD/4X4 campervans are allowed on F-roads, which are highland roads leading to remote areas. Driving a non-4WD camper on F-roads is prohibited and will result in fines.
A duvet is only included with the Go 4x4 LUX camper. For all other campers, we provide small cushions and thin fleece blankets as standard.
To ensure a comfortable night's sleep, we recommend adding a duvet or sleeping bags to your booking. These can be rented as extras during the booking process.
No, we do not rent tent campers during winter. The cold temperatures and strong winds in Iceland can make tent camping unsafe and uncomfortable. We recommend renting a standard campervan with a heater for a warm and secure experience during the winter months.
