Hiring a campervan in Iceland is easy. Keflavik is the largest city in the Reykjanesskagi peninsula, and is also a very vibrant port city, with marvelous views over the sea. Here you are able to admire the perfectly preserved historical buildings, including the 19th Century painted red commercial premises of Peter Duus of Denmark. Another artistic wonder of note is the fishermen's monument by the artist Ásmundur Sveinsson of Iceland. A true treasure is also the relatively small church, Keflavíkurkirkja, which was built in 1912 and stands out from its surroundings with its bright vibrant colours. An added bonus is that Iceland's capital city, Reykjavik is only 24 miles (40 km) from Keflavik and easily reachable by motorhome.
If you decide to get your campervan hire from Keflavik, you can take advantage of an enchanted city that allows you to stay in constant contact with nature. Iceland itself is full of astonishing volcanos, glaciers, waterfalls, hidden bays and quaint fishermen hamlets, all waiting to be explored at leisure. You should also make some time within your schedule to visit the equestrian centre and view the majestic Icelandic horses. Once night falls, the awe inspiring northern lights, which attract photographers and tourists alike from all over the world, will surely make you speechless.
An alternative option would be to instead hire a campervan at Reykjavik and take to the local roads. For visitors from the UK, it is important to note that in Iceland you drive on the right hand-side. On national roads the speed limit is 55 m/h (90 km/h) and within cities it is 31 m/h (50 km/h), unless otherwise indicated. In addition, due to the ever changing weather and visibility conditions, it is recommended to always have your headlights on.
