Kuku Kuku frequently asked questions

If you would like to make the full trip around the entire country on Iceland's famous ring road, it can be done in seven days or more. We recommend doing it in ten days! Honestly, every part of Iceland is beautiful, and there are lots of areas to explore. We have been exploring Iceland for over twenty years and guess what! There is still something more to see. So, don’t plan to see it all in one trip, just keep coming back to see more!

There is plenty you can do in 3 to 5 days in Iceland. If you only have three days, then we recommend Reykjavik city, the Golden Circle and The Blue Lagoon. But if you have five days, get a Kuku Camper and hit the road! See Icelandic south coast and its beautiful waterfalls, glaciers and magical black sand beach!

Toilets are all around and accessible to traveling tourists. In gas stations, campsites, at local swimming pools, restaurants and even in stores. It´s strictly forbidden to do your stuff outdoors as this will bother follow travelers. For showers, you can use them at campsites, or we recommend the local swimming pools. These pools are cheap, outdoors and really really relaxing.

From the 1st of July 2016, a law prohibits camper vans from being parked during the night outside of the local campsites. That is why we strongly recommend, to stay at campgrounds which offer restrooms and showers!

For your information you do not have to pre book it, you just drive in and enjoy your stay! Honestly it is the best way to meet new people and get personal sightseeing tips from fellow travelers!

For family 2+2 we recommend having a look at the option of getting a camping card. Click here for Iceland Camping Card Prices

Not all the campsites are closed during winter season! There is few campsites around Iceland where you can stay all year around. You can find winter campsite map on our „Winter Adventure“ page. 

We recommend that each customer gets familiar with the safetravel.is & Visit Iceland. There is a lot of good information there regarding driving in the highlands and driving in Iceland in general. Also please watch out for speed limits, don’t rush! It is not worth the speeding ticket and your safety. We highly recommend that you check the Iceland weather radar and road conditions each day as both can change frequently and where you were planning to go might not be possible anymore. Please note that we do not recommend driving a Camper in wind speed of more than 15 meters per second.

You can find the latest fuel price by following this link. Also, there is plenty of petrol stations around the island, so you won’t be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere! Check it out for yourself!

What you need is a valid credit card and driving license (valid at least 1 year) of course, to rent a Kúkú Camper. Also, you need to be 20 years old or older ;) However, if you are really funny, we might make an exception…

P.S. You can drive a camper on a standard driving license!

You don’t need to apply for international driving license, but if you want to have 2 licenses then go ahead, we won’t stop you!

In Kúkú Camper additional drivers are for FREE. We’d rather that you share the driving as sometimes you might get tired or would like to have a glass of wine or two with your fancy made dinner. So, you can add free extra drivers once you are here!

However, they cannot enter F-88, F-210, F-249. The three F roads are extreme! The rivers are very deep & very strong. There is also spots of quicksands. We care for your safety!
