This 2020 Fiat Caratour 540 is a compact, comfortable, and easy-to-drive motorhome with a manual transmission and 2WD, designed to give you everything you need for an unforgettable Icelandic road trip.

About Motorhome Katla — Fiat Caratour 540

Perfect for couples or solo explorers, Katla comes fully equipped with two seats, a comfortable double bed, a fully functional kitchen, and a private shower and toilet — everything you need to roam confidently through Iceland's sweeping landscapes. With hot and cold running water, a built-in heating system, ample storage, and all daily necessities already on board, your journey becomes genuinely effortless. Whether you're parked beneath the Northern Lights in the Icelandic countryside or waking up next to a roaring waterfall on the south coast, Katla keeps you warm, well-fed, and at home no matter where the road leads.

Renting a motorhome in Iceland means you set the pace. There are no hotel check-in times, no fixed itineraries, and no need to book restaurants in advance. Cook your own meals, sleep where the view is best, and move on whenever you're ready. For travellers who want to experience Iceland authentically and affordably, a campervan rental is one of the best decisions you can make — and Katla is one of the most capable and comfortable options in its class.

The Fiat Caratour 540's compact dimensions make it ideal for navigating Iceland's coastal routes, remote fishing villages, and narrow scenic roads without the bulk of a larger motorhome. You'll enjoy the freedom to pull over wherever the landscape inspires you — be it a black sand beach on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the icebergs of Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a mossy lava field in West Iceland, or a quiet countryside campsite under a sky full of stars. All while keeping the comfort and warmth of your own private space just steps away.

Katla is available to rent year-round. In summer, enjoy the famous midnight sun and long warm evenings. In winter and autumn, the heating system and insulated interior make Katla a genuine four-season vehicle, perfect for chasing the Northern Lights across Iceland's dark skies.

Please note: Katla is a 2WD vehicle and is not permitted on F-roads (highland/interior roads). It is fully suited to all paved roads and approved gravel routes, including Route 1 (the Ring Road) and the majority of Iceland's most popular destinations.

Why rent a motorhome in Iceland instead of a hotel?

Iceland is one of the few places in the world where the journey genuinely matters as much as the destination. The country's most breathtaking moments — a curtain of green Northern Lights reflected in a still fjord, the first light of a summer sunrise hitting a glacier, a deserted black sand beach with no one else in sight — rarely happen on a schedule. They happen when you're in the right place at the right time. A motorhome puts you there.

When you rent a campervan in Iceland, you stop being a tourist moving between fixed points and start actually living in the landscape. You wake up where you parked the night before — beside a waterfall, on a clifftop, at the edge of a lava field — make coffee, and decide over breakfast where the day takes you. No lobby, no checkout time, no taxi to the next town.

Practically speaking, motorhome travel in Iceland also makes a lot of financial sense. Hotel accommodation in Iceland is among the most expensive in Europe, particularly during the peak summer season. Factor in restaurant meals twice a day and the cost of a traditional trip adds up fast. With a motorhome like Katla, your accommodation travels with you, and the fully equipped kitchen means you can cook most of your meals on board. Many travellers find that a motorhome rental — even a well-equipped one — works out cheaper than hotels and restaurants once everything is counted.

Iceland's infrastructure makes it unusually well-suited to motorhome travel. The Ring Road (Route 1) circles the entire country on fully paved roads, connecting waterfalls, glaciers, geothermal areas, and coastal villages in a single continuous loop. Campsite networks are extensive, well-maintained, and open from May through September, with many sites offering electricity hook-ups, hot showers, and kitchen facilities. Wild camping regulations in Iceland are clear and respectful of the landscape — travelling by motorhome here is genuinely easy and well-supported.

For couples in particular, a motorhome rental transforms a holiday into something more like an adventure. There's a particular kind of freedom that comes from having no fixed plan, a full tank of diesel, and a whole country's worth of roads in front of you. Katla was built for exactly that.
