Great experience with Campervan Iceland
We rented a campervan via Campervan Iceland in August 2026 for a 10 day trip driving the ring road. The rental ending up being with Hertz and the collection / drop-off process was smooth with no issues. The van was in a great condition and well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the freedom it gave us. Highly recommend.
