Hybrid power for the Ring Road

This 2026 VW California Beach pairs a petrol engine with a self-charging hybrid system and an automatic gearbox, so you never have to plug it in to charge. With four seats, the whole family rides together. It’s 2WD, so F-roads are not allowed.

  • Self-charging hybrid
  • Automatic gearbox
  • Seats 4
  • 2WD
“Do we need to charge the hybrid?”No, it charges itself as you drive. Just fill the tank with petrol as you would with any car.

A kitchen that’s built in

The stove is built into the van, so dinner starts without any setup, and the storage drawers keep kitchenware and food organized. On a dry evening, take the camping table and chairs outside and keep the cooler close by.

  • Built-in stove
  • Storage drawers
  • Kitchenware
  • Cooler
“Are the camping table and chairs included?”Yes, along with the kitchenware and cooler, so the four of you can eat outside.

Two double beds on two levels

Downstairs there’s a 145 x 180 cm (57″ x 71″) double bed, and the pop-up roof holds a second double that measures 120 x 200 cm (47″ x 79″). Sleeping bags are included, and the heating keeps the van comfortable overnight. The roof bed can feel cooler on chilly nights, so pack warm layers for whoever sleeps up top.

  • Lower bed 145 x 180 cm
  • Pop-up roof bed 120 x 200 cm
  • Sleeping bags included
“Who should sleep in the roof bed?”Whoever likes a cozy spot up high. It can be cooler than the bed below, so a warm sleeping bag and an extra layer make it comfortable.

  • 12V battery system
  • Battery-powered heating
  • 230V campsite plug-in
“Does the heating need campsite power?”No, it runs from the 12V battery system, so it works wherever you park for the night.

What travelers say

4.7 Rated Excellent by travelers for over 13 years

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.

Good Customer Care

Had issues with the provider. Campervan Iceland customer care was always very punctual and cordial with us. They also ensured that we got appropriate compensation for the issues that we faced.

Christian Darmanin Malta · Oct 2026

Very easy logistics- no issues at all

Great service

Great service, clean sleeping bag, clean car. The roads in Iceland can be a bit rough but the car was very good at that too. We enjoyed the car and the service.

Thomas Sobiecki Denmark · Sep 2026

Everything

Everything, from the booking to the drop-off date, was smooth and efficient. The Campervan was just perfect for us!

The best way to experience a trip across Iceland!

We rented a van Volksawagen Transporter that was fully equipped in July 2025 and it became my home on wheels for 15 days. I had online support at all time, with the possibility to chat with the campervan office through the provided tablet. They were very kind and the rental was very easy to manage, before my rental they kindly helped me with all my queries and questions. In addition they also had a lot of free products and food in the office left overs from other travelers. Campervan helped me experience my dream trip across Iceland.
