You collect your van at Keflav\u00edk International Airport (or in Reykjav\u00edk), then drive roughly 440 km north on the Ring Road, which takes about five to six hours. North Iceland is worth that drive. It is drier than the south, much quieter than the Golden Circle, and the home of the Diamond Circle, a loop of waterfalls, geothermal fields and whale-watching in H\u00fasav\u00edk.<\/p>\n<p>We are Joona &amp; Alla, and Iceland is part of our Nordic home turf: we have driven the Ring Road and know how quickly the weather, the daylight and the price of a campervan change with the month. This guide pulls that together with the current CampervanPlanet prices for Iceland, checked in October 2026, so you can plan summer 2027 or an aurora winter with real numbers in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>Summer slots in Iceland sell out earlier than anywhere else we write about, so this is a good time to start looking.<\/p>\n<div class=\"htf-tldr\"><div class=\"htf-tldr-label\">Short Answer<\/div><p>Collect your van at Keflav\u00edk, drive <strong>about 440 km (5\u20136 hours)<\/strong> to Akureyri, and loop the 700 km Diamond Circle in 3\u20134 days. CampervanPlanet&#8217;s October 2026 Iceland index shows campervans <strong>from \u20ac53 a day<\/strong>, typically <strong>\u20ac115 a day in November, \u20ac260 in May and \u20ac395 in July<\/strong>.

Akureyri Airport (AEY) has no campervan pick-up, so the cheapest and simplest plan is to land at Keflav\u00edk, collect the van, and drive north.<\/p>\n<p>That has a practical advantage: you cross the country, so you see a lot of Iceland on the way. The Ring Road to Akureyri is paved, but it is a long first day after a flight. Many people split the drive with a night around Borgarnes or in the Skagafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur area, and start the Akureyri leg fresh. If you want the Reykjav\u00edk side explained, our <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/iceland-ring-road-campervan-itinerary\/\">Iceland Ring Road campervan itinerary<\/a> covers the full circuit.<\/p>\n<p>You can see what is available for your dates on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/akureyri-campervan-rental?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-akureyri-campervan-rental-north-iceland-diamond-circle-myvatn\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">CampervanPlanet Akureyri page<\/a>; code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20 takes \u20ac20 off at checkout.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Iceland_campervan_prices_look_like_month_by_month\"><\/span>What Iceland campervan prices look like month by month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The CampervanPlanet price index for a 7-night hire in Iceland (October 2026) is one of the most striking in the world, because the swing between seasons is so large:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>November to March:<\/strong> the cheapest window, typically about \u20ac115 a day in November.<\/li>\n<li><strong>May and September:<\/strong> shoulder season and, on the page&#8217;s own words, the best time to hire. A typical \u20ac260 a day in May.<\/li>\n<li><strong>June to August:<\/strong> midnight-sun peak, typically \u20ac395 a day in July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cheapest vehicles in the country start from about \u20ac53 a day. That is a floor, not a typical price, but it shows how much the same van can vary. The practical conclusion is the one we give to friends: if your dates are flexible, May or September gives most of the daylight and far fewer crowds than July, for a lot less money.

It runs like this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Akureyri to Go\u00f0afoss<\/strong> (about 50 minutes) on Route 1, a broad, curved waterfall right beside the road.<\/li>\n<li><strong>M\u00fdvatn<\/strong> for the pseudo-craters, then the Krafla geothermal area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dettifoss<\/strong>, billed as Europe&#8217;s most powerful waterfall, a thunderous, brown-grey curtain that is worth the detour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00c1sbyrgi canyon<\/strong>, a horseshoe-shaped gorge with sheltered woodland.<\/li>\n<li><strong>H\u00fasav\u00edk<\/strong> for whale watching (tours run April to October) before looping back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Allow 3\u20134 days if you want to walk, soak and stop, and a couple more if you add the Tr\u00f6llaskagi peninsula. The page recommends June and August for the Diamond Circle, with fuel stops every 50\u201380 km and more than 30 campsites along the route.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camping_you_must_use_campsites_in_Iceland\"><\/span>Camping: you must use campsites in Iceland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the rule we want every reader to remember. Wild camping is illegal in Iceland under the Nature Conservation Act, so you must use designated campsites. Fines are real, and landowners are increasingly firm, so build every night into the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Near Akureyri, the page suggests Hamrar Campsite in the Kjarnask\u00f3gur forest south of town, and the area around Forest Lagoon. On the Diamond Circle, the page warns that M\u00fdvatn and H\u00fasav\u00edk campsites sell out in peak weeks, so book ahead for July and August. Campsite fees are modest compared with hotels, which is one of the reasons the campervan model works so well in Iceland: two people can often camp for a fraction of the nightly price of a guesthouse. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/iceland-south-coast-campervan\/\">the Iceland south coast by campervan<\/a> has more on campsite habits.<\/p>\n<!-- HTF-CVP-V1 -->\n<div style=\"margin:26px 0;border:1px solid #E5E3DE;border-left:4px solid #C8A45A;border-radius:10px;padding:16px 20px;background:#F8F7F4;\"><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#2C2A26;\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Our campervan tip:<\/strong> prices for the same van vary a lot between rental brands.

It is a good place for a rest day with a hot soak.<\/p>\n<p>The page&#8217;s top suggestions are Forest Lagoon, a geothermal spa on the Va\u00f0lahei\u00f0i hill about 10 minutes from the centre (entry listed at \u20ac45), the Bj\u00f3rb\u00f6\u00f0in beer spa at \u00c1rsk\u00f3gssandur, about 35 minutes north (fully booked on weekends in summer), and H\u00fasav\u00edk for whales, about an hour to the north-east. If you are travelling with children, the Hrafnagil Christmas Garden, 15 minutes south, is a quirky stop all year round.<\/p>\n<p>The upside of a campervan here is flexibility. You can arrive in Akureyri late from Keflav\u00edk, sleep at a campsite near the forest, and decide in the morning whether the weather suits a lagoon day or a driving day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Winter_aurora_skiing_and_winter_tyres\"><\/span>Winter: aurora, skiing and winter tyres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>North Iceland is also a serious winter option. The page describes November to March as the cheapest and aurora-friendly window, with temperatures between -5\u00b0C and 5\u00b0C and 3\u20137 hours of daylight, and December to February as peak aurora season. North Iceland&#8217;s drier climate gives more clear-sky nights than Reykjav\u00edk or the south, which is why Akureyri is a popular base for northern lights.<\/p>\n<p>The Hl\u00ed\u00f0arfjall ski area is about ten minutes from downtown and operates December to April. But winter driving needs respect: winter tyres are needed on snow and ice from October to mid-April, the highland F-roads are closed, and the Tr\u00f6llaskagi tunnels and the V\u00edkurskar\u00f0 pass can close in sudden storms. Check road.is every morning and carry extra food and warm clothing. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/campervan-iceland-winter\/\">campervan Iceland in winter<\/a> goes deeper on heating, gas and driving.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_realistic_one-week_budget\"><\/span>A realistic one-week budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is how a week might add up for two adults in a standard campervan, using CampervanPlanet&#8217;s own price points. In shoulder season (May or September), the typical daily rate of around \u20ac260 in May gives roughly \u20ac1,800 for seven nights before fuel and campsites. In November, at about \u20ac115 a day, the same week would be closer to \u20ac800. In July, at about \u20ac395 a day, you are looking at nearly \u20ac2,800 for the van alone.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, fuel is a significant cost. The Diamond Circle is 700 km, and the drive from Keflav\u00edk to Akureyri and back adds around 900 km more, so plan for a full tank several times. Campsites are modest by Nordic standards but add up over a week, and food in Iceland is dear, so do your main shop in a supermarket in Reykjav\u00edk or Akureyri rather than buying everything at gas stations.<\/p>\n<p>Insurance matters more than usual in Iceland, because gravel, wind and sand can damage vans in ways standard cover may not include. Read the policy for gravel protection and wind damage before you accept the default, and see our <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/budget-travel\/campervan-rental-insurance-deposit-excess-explained\/\">guide to campervan insurance, deposits and excess<\/a> for what to look for. The reader coupon (code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20, \u20ac20 off) is small beside those numbers, but it is a useful saving all the same.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Akureyri_campervan_rental_worth_it\"><\/span>Is Akureyri campervan rental worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For travellers who want mountains, geothermal fields and whales without the crowds of the south coast, yes. The main trade-offs are the long first drive after landing at Keflav\u00edk and the very high July prices. Our recommendation is to go in May or September if you can, and book as early as you like: code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20 will still take \u20ac20 off whenever you commit.
