Iceland Camper Rental: Fiat Benivan 120 Motorhome Guide

Iceland camper rental with Hertz Iceland means choosing a self-contained home on wheels — the Fiat Benivan 120, a purpose-built motorhome with everything you need for Iceland’s Ring Road in a single vehicle: beds, toilet, shower, kitchen, and storage, covered by one daily rental rate.

The Benivan 120 combines the freedom of accommodation independence — no hotel reservations required, Iceland’s campsite network as your bedroom — with the convenience of a Hertz Iceland rental: collected directly from KEF Airport, with the full Hertz Iceland support network across the country.

For travellers who want total flexibility on Iceland’s Ring Road in summer — arriving at a campsite when you want, leaving when you want, and waking up with whatever landscape you chose to park in front of — this is the vehicle that makes that possible.

KEF Airport pickup only. This vehicle is not available from other Hertz Iceland locations. Pickup and return at KEF Airport.

The Benivan 120 — What’s Included

Inside the motorhome

Benivan 120 – Sleeping, Bathroom, Kitchen & Living Space

Sleeps 3

Sleeping

The Benivan 120 sleeps 3 adults across two fixed beds:

• Superior Bed: 140 × 186 cm — a proper double bed. The widest sleeping space in the vehicle and the main bed for couples.
• Bottom Bed: 130 × 180 cm — a full single bed beneath the superior bed. Comfortable for one adult or a child.

Both beds are fixed — no assembling from seating. Bedding and sleeping bags are not included: bring your own, or hire sleeping bags separately.

100 L + 100 L tanks

Toilet & Shower

A dedicated onboard toilet and shower, both using the 100-litre fresh water tank and the 100-litre wastewater tank — a self-contained system that gives you full bathroom independence, even at basic campsites without shower blocks.

This is a genuine advantage in Iceland: many campsites along the Ring Road, particularly in the East Fjords and the North, have limited or no shower facilities. With the onboard shower, you’re never dependent on campsite facilities.

Self-catering ready

Kitchen

Fully equipped for self-catering:

• Fridge: 70 litres — enough for 2–3 days of fresh food, drinks and condiments.
• Cooking: hob/range for cooking.
• Kitchen kit at pickup: pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, cutlery and serving equipment, included at KEF pickup.
• Campsite electricity connection: plug into mains hookup for reliable overnight power — charging devices, running the fridge at full efficiency and powering interior lighting.

3 seatbelts

Seating & Living Area

The Benivan 120 seats 3 for travelling, all with proper seatbelts. When parked, the cab’s rotating front seats join the interior living space, creating a comfortable lounge for eating, planning the next day’s route, or simply sitting with Iceland’s landscape outside the window.

When Is the Benivan 120 Motorhome the Right Choice?

• Summer Ring Road freedom: The classic use case — drive Iceland’s Ring Road at your own pace, sleeping wherever the day takes you. With Iceland’s campsite network covering virtually every stop on Route 1, you never need to book accommodation in advance or compromise on your itinerary.
• Budget-conscious travellers combining transport and accommodation: A motorhome rental replaces both a rental car and accommodation booking — for a summer Ring Road trip of 7 days or more, the combined cost of separate car rental and guesthouse/hotel accommodation typically exceeds a motorhome rental at comparable quality.
• Couples and groups of 3 who want total flexibility: No check-in times, no checkout deadlines, no restaurant dependency. Cook when you want, sleep when you want, and move on when the weather or the mood changes.
• Travellers who want Iceland’s less-visited campsites: Iceland’s most beautiful camping locations are often the simplest — a flat gravel area near a waterfall, a harbour-side campsite in the East Fjords, a mountain meadow in the North. With onboard toilet and shower, you’re not dependent on facilities at these locations.

⚠️ Not ideal if:

• You plan F-road or Highland driving — strictly forbidden. 2WD, significant vehicle length and height. See safe.hertz.is/f-road-guide.
• You are travelling in winter — this is a summer-only product. Iceland’s campsites close in winter and campsite driving in snow and ice in a 6-metre manual 2WD vehicle is not appropriate.
• You need more than 3 sleeping spaces — the Benivan 120 sleeps 3. For 4 people sleeping, a second vehicle or alternative accommodation is needed.
• You cannot drive a manual transmission — manual only. No automatic version available.
• You are under 23 years old — minimum age 23.
• You are travelling from a location other than KEF — KEF Airport pickup and return only.

Rental Requirements & Restrictions

• Minimum Age: 23 years old.
• License: Valid driving license held for a minimum of 1 year. IDP required if license is not in Roman script.
• Payment: Valid credit card in the main renter’s name required at pickup.
• Transmission: Manual — confident manual gearbox technique required. This is a diesel van-based motorhome, not a car.
• Campsite rules: Iceland’s campsite law requires overnight parking only at registered campsites. Wild camping outside designated areas is not permitted.
• F-Road Policy: STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Vehicle dimensions, 2WD, and ground clearance make this vehicle unsuitable for F-roads or Highland tracks under any circumstances.

Iceland’s Ring Road in the Benivan 120

There is a specific quality to Iceland motorhome travel that no combination of rental car and hotel can replicate — the moment you park at a campsite and the landscape outside the window becomes your view for the night. At Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, that view is icebergs floating on still water. At a harbour campsite in Höfn, it’s the Vatnajökull glacier’s edge above the rooftops. In the East Fjords, it’s the narrow fjord reflecting the hillside above. The Benivan 120 puts you inside these moments rather than adjacent to them.

The vehicle itself is a converted Fiat Ducato base — 5.99 metres long, 2.05 metres wide, and 2.65 metres tall. In Iceland’s summer, that size is manageable on the Ring Road’s main paved sections and at Iceland’s established campsites, which are designed to accommodate motorhomes. In Reykjavík’s city streets, the Benivan 120 requires more planning than a compact car; on the Ring Road’s open highway sections, it travels at a relaxed, composed pace that suits the landscape.

The 2.2L diesel manual is the appropriate powertrain for Iceland’s terrain and fuel access — diesel fuel is widely available at filling stations throughout the Ring Road, and the manual gearbox gives the driver direct control on Iceland’s longer downhill sections and at the steeper campsite entrances that occasionally appear on rural routes. The engine braking on descents is a genuine advantage over an automatic for a vehicle of this weight.

Inside, the Benivan 120 is compact but considered — the superior bed at 140 × 186 cm is a proper double, not a compromise. The 70-litre fridge keeps food and drinks genuinely cold. The onboard shower and toilet function as well as a basic guesthouse bathroom. The kitchen kit arrives fully equipped at KEF — you collect the vehicle with everything you need to cook your first meal at the first campsite.

For 7–10 days on Iceland’s Ring Road in summer, this is not a camping experience. It’s self-contained mobile travel with Iceland as your backdrop.
