CAMPING IN ICELAND
We recommend staying at camping sites during your stay in Iceland.
Check www.visiticeland.com
STAY CONNECTED
If you are planning on driving around the ring road make sure you share your itinerary with someone who can help in case of an emergency, see www.safetravel.is
It's a good idea to check in with friends and family online too. Grandma misses you.
STAY CLEAN
Please don´t poop in nature. Restrooms and trash cans are available at gas stations, campsites and tourist information. Showers can be found at local swimming pools and campsites.
BE A GOOD TOURIST
Keep Iceland beautiful by leaving no trace! Dispose of your trash and use proper toilets, don´t enter roped off areas, park only in designated parking places, don´t go off road, avoid standing in the middle of the road to take selfes but most importantly stay clear of elves and trolls
SAFETY
We recommend you check the weather forecast and road conditions regularly as the weather in Iceland can change so quickly and it is very common to experience all 4 seasons in just a day, so… be ready, avoid the storms and drive carefully! We’d like to remind you that driving when wind speed reaches 20m/s is not recommended at all. It is advised that you’d reconsider your plans and change your route. Check www.vedur.is for weather forecast and www.road.is for road conditions.
Before you hit the road and start driving your KÚKÚ mobile, you might be interested in finding out more about the Icelandic rules on the road.
While you might be focused on things like how traffic lights work here or what actual side of the road Icelanders drive on – the right, in case you didn’t know – you will be surprised to learn that the difficulty comes from somewhere completely different. In fact, it’s the country’s roundabouts that will possibly cause you some small trouble. Here’s why.
What keeps the traffic mainly fluid in Iceland is that drivers all understand who has the right of way in roundabouts.
On a two-lane roundabout in Iceland, the vehicle in the inner lane has the right of way. The vehicle in the outer lane must yield. As simple as that!

You probably stopped for a second and are now wondering how it is then, back home. Be sure that the opposite is true, but don’t even bother checking a copy of the Icelandic highway code, there’s nothing about roundabouts’ rules except that it’s forbidden to park on one. The right of way thing is not really a law but an accepted convention which is working well so far as everyone is aware about it and respect it.
In Iceland, it is required by law to have the headlights of any vehicle in motion switched on, any time of the day, all year round. Whether it is daytime or night-time, a bright summer day or a dark winter night, the headlights of your KÚKÚ car must be always on! Keep that in mind or you could risk getting fined by the police if they stop you with your headlights switched off while driving.
Remember to ALWAYS turn lights off when the car is off – unplug chargers from cigarette lighters and go easy on radio use when the engine is not running. Flat batteries happen faster than we think, and roadside assistance in that case is at the lessee’s cost.
Driveways, farm felds, black sand beaches – iceland is 90% privately owned. Wherever you end up, you’re probably in someone’s backyard. Respect people, respect nature, and do not do to others what you would not like done to yourself. Basic human decency.
Gas stations, camping grounds, swimming pools, cute cafes and cool bars. Iceland is full of life and these places are your go to for organic matter. Ask us for maps to assist.
We understand that, well, shit happens. But if you REALLY NEED to go, make sure to dig a ditch AT LEAST 6 inch deep. Careful not to hit elves homes.
Cardinal rule, never trash nature. Pack garbage bags and pick up your stuff wherever you go. You can even go plogging to pick up the trash you find on your way! Giving back is real sexy. Make it fun!
Bring back all plastic bottles, gas canisters, beer containers and paper, you can recycle it all at our office or most campsites. Then who knows, they might turn into a kukucamper one day!
Avoid buying stuff you don’t need, it prevents useless packaging and saves precious money. Stuff you don’t buy is stuff you won’t have to throw away. Genius logic.
