WANT THE ROOF-TENT EXPERIENCE… BUT PREFER AUTOMATIC? 🚙🏕️
You like the idea of waking up somewhere in Iceland, opening the roof tent and starting the day whenever you feel like it.

You’d just rather skip driving a manual car for your entire holiday. 😄

Our Toyota RAV4 + Roof Tent is an automatic 4×4, giving you an easy drive and the freedom of travelling with a roof tent.

There’s room for up to 5 people while driving, and the roof tent sleeps 2–3. It works especially well for couples or a small group.

For the road trip, you’ll have:

🏕 Roof tent
⚙️ Automatic transmission
🚙 4×4
🔥 Single-burner gas cooker
🍴 Cooking & eating equipment
📱 Bluetooth + USB
🛣 Unlimited mileage

And yes, heated seats.

They feel particularly good when you get into the car on a cold Icelandic morning. 😄

Drive to your next stop, find your campsite and open the tent for the night.

Our next rental season runs from May to September 2027. Availability and current prices for your dates are already online.

Would you choose a roof tent or sleep inside a campervan?

IF AN ICELANDIC HORSE LEAVES ICELAND, IT CAN NEVER COME BACK. 🐴🇮🇸

Even if it was born here.
It sounds like a strange rule at first.
Icelandic horses have been isolated from other breeds for more than 1,000 years. Bringing horses into Iceland is prohibited, which helps protect the local population from diseases found elsewhere.

When an Icelandic horse is exported, it stays abroad.

Their history in Iceland goes back more than 1,000 years. The first settlers brought horses with them during the Viking Age, and today’s Icelandic horses descend from those early animals.

For centuries, horses were part of everyday life here.
Before Iceland had the roads we drive today, they carried people and goods across difficult terrain. They took people to church and transported doctors when needed.

Today, you’ll see them throughout an Iceland road trip. Beside the road, in fields, often in places where you weren’t expecting to stop.

If you’re travelling by camper, there’s a good chance they’ll make you pull over more than once. We definitely understand why. 😄

Just remember to stop somewhere safe and respect fences and private land.
Did you know about Iceland’s “no return” rule for horses? 🐴

WHY IS ICELAND’S FAMOUS BLACK CHURCH… BLACK? 🖤🇮🇸

It looks like someone designed Búðakirkja specifically to stand out against the Icelandic landscape.
But the reason behind its colour is much more practical.

Its wooden exterior was traditionally coated with black pitch — a way of protecting the timber from Iceland’s wind, rain and salty coastal air.

So that iconic black colour?

It wasn’t originally about aesthetics. It was about surviving Icelandic weather.
And somehow, that makes this little church even more Icelandic.

You’ll find Búðakirkja on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, surrounded by lava fields, mountains and open landscape. It’s an easy place to add to a road trip — but not one we’d rush through just for the famous photo.

Park the camper.
Walk around.
Look at the landscape behind the church.
Stay for a little while.

That’s one of the things we love about travelling Iceland by camper: you don’t have to experience places according to a schedule.

Sometimes you stop because a place was on your route.
Sometimes you stop because the light looks good.
And sometimes a “quick photo stop” becomes one of those places you remember afterwards.

📍 Búðakirkja, Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Save it for your Iceland road trip. 🖤🇮🇸

WHY BOOK YOUR 2027 CAMPER THIS EARLY? 🇮🇸🚐

October might feel a little early to book a camper for next summer.
But if Iceland is already on your 2027 list, there’s a good reason to start with the camper now.

Not because you need to plan every waterfall and every stop months in advance.
Actually, the opposite.

Booking early gives you more freedom later.
You have more choice when it comes to:

🚐 The camper that actually fits your trip
Roof tent? Warm campervan? Automatic? 4×4? Something bigger for a family or group?

📅 The dates that work for you
Instead of building your holiday around what’s still available.

✈️ Flights
Once your camper and dates are sorted, you can watch flight prices and book when it makes sense for you.

🗺 Your route
You have months to research Iceland properly — without trying to plan the whole trip two weeks before departure.

And there’s another advantage: you get to enjoy the planning part.
Save places. Change your mind. Add that waterfall someone sent you at midnight. Leave empty days for Icelandic weather and spontaneous detours.

That’s how we think an Iceland road trip should be planned.

Our 2027 season starts in May, and bookings are already open.
You don’t need to have the whole trip figured out yet.
Start with the camper. We’ll see you on the road. 🇮🇸

ICELAND LOOKS DIFFERENT IN AUTUMN. 🍂🇮🇸

There’s a short moment in Iceland when everything starts to change.

The green slowly turns gold.
The mountains pick up shades of brown and orange.
The days get shorter.
The air feels colder.

And somehow, the landscapes become even more dramatic.

So we’ll just leave these photos here. 🍂

September 30 is here, which means our campers are officially finishing their last trips of the 2026 season.
No more camper pick-ups for a little while — our next rental season starts again in May 2027.
But RIJO isn’t disappearing for the winter. 😉

Actually, this is when planning the next adventures begins.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more Iceland road trip ideas, routes, practical tips, places worth adding to your map and everything we’ve learned from another season on the road.

And if Iceland is already in your plans for next year, there’s no need to wait.

BOOKINGS FOR 2027 ARE ALREADY OPEN.

You can choose your dates and camper now and have one very important part of your Iceland trip sorted.
And of course, a huge thank you to everyone who travelled with RIJO this season. ❤️

For every booking, every review, every photo you sent us and every camper that came back with another Iceland story behind it.

The 2026 rental season ends here.
The road to 2027 starts now. 🇮🇸

🚐 Next rentals: May 2027

THE LAST ROAD TRIPS OF 2026 🇮🇸
Somewhere in Iceland right now, a few of our campers are still on the road.
Someone is waking up, making coffee and checking the weather.
Someone is deciding whether to turn left or right.
Someone is probably stopping for “one quick photo” for the fifth time this morning. 😄
And someone might be spending their last night in a camper before heading back to Keflavík.

These are the final days of our 2026 season.

It feels a little strange after months of seeing our campers leave RIJO full of bags, food and excited travellers — and come back covered in Icelandic dust with a few thousand more kilometres on the clock.

But we’re not saying goodbye quite yet. We still have a couple of days to go.
And somewhere out there, the last RIJO road trips of 2026 are still happening. 🚐🇮🇸

Enjoy every kilometre.
Take the unnecessary photo stop.
Make one more coffee somewhere beautiful.
And if the sky is clear tonight…
look up. 🌌

2,500 KM. 10 DAYS. NO ISSUES. 🇮🇸🚐

This is exactly what we want to hear after an Iceland road trip.

A recent RIJO traveller shared their experience after spending 10 days on the road:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Great service and camper. Very happy with the camper, pickup and drop-off from Keflavik airport. Camper was clean and everything worked as it should. 2500km and no issue over 10 days.”

2,500 kilometres around Iceland.

That’s a lot of roads, changing landscapes, campsites, weather and mornings waking up somewhere completely new.

And behind a good road trip are often the simple things:

🚐 A clean, reliable camper
✈️ Easy airport pick-up & drop-off
🛠 Everything working as it should
📲 A team you can reach when you need us
🇮🇸 And the freedom to concentrate on Iceland instead of worrying about the vehicle

Thank you for trusting RIJO with your trip — and for taking our camper on a pretty serious Iceland adventure. 😄

Where would you go with 2,500 km to explore?

Seeing the Northern Lights isn’t about finding one “secret spot”.
It’s mostly about darkness, clear skies, timing — and a little patience.
Here are a few things worth knowing before your first aurora hunt:

🌙 1. You need darkness

Aurora season in Iceland runs roughly from late August to late April. September is already part of the season because properly dark nights are back.

☁️ 2. Check the clouds first

A strong aurora forecast doesn’t help much if there’s a thick layer of cloud above you.
The Icelandic Met Office aurora forecast shows cloud cover too: white areas mean clearer skies, green areas mean cloudier conditions.

✨ 3. Don’t obsess over the Kp number

This surprises a lot of first-time visitors.
You don’t necessarily need a huge Kp number to see something beautiful in Iceland. Visit Iceland specifically advises not to rely too heavily on Kp alone, while the Icelandic Met Office notes that even low activity can produce a beautiful display.

🌃 4. Get away from bright lights

The darker your surroundings, the easier it is to see a faint aurora.
You don’t always need to drive for hours — sometimes simply moving away from strong city or street lighting makes a big difference.

🕙 5. Give it time

Don’t check the sky once at 9 PM and decide nothing is happening.
Visit Iceland recommends being outside roughly between 10 PM and 1 AM, noting that aurora is, on average, frequently seen around 11 PM.

🧥 6. Dress warmer than you think

Aurora hunting often means standing outside doing absolutely nothing.
For quite a while. 😄

Hat, gloves, warm layers and something hot to drink can turn waiting from miserable into part of the experience.

🚐 7. Be flexible

This might be the most important one.

Clear skies could be 40 minutes away. Tomorrow might look better than tonight. Your original campsite might be cloudy while another part of your route is clear.

Don’t chase a perfect forecast. Chase clear skies.

And remember:
Northern Lights are nature. Nobody can guarantee them.
Sometimes you wait and see nothing.
Sometimes you step outside to brush your teeth and the whole sky is green.

That’s Iceland. 🇮🇸
