Renting a Minivan or People Carrier in Reykjavik
Reykjavik is one of Iceland's most visited destinations for group travellers, making it a major hub for 7, 8, and 9-seater van rentals. Whether you need a minivan for a family holiday, a people carrier for a corporate group, or a 9-seater minibus for a large party, Reykjavik has well-stocked rental fleets from all major suppliers.
Unlike standard car hire, large group vans require advance planning — especially in peak season, when 8 and 9-seater models can sell out weeks ahead. Comparing providers early is the single most effective way to secure both availability and a competitive price. The difference between booking 3 weeks ahead versus last-minute can be 40–60% on the daily rate.

Which Van is Best for Reykjavik?
Choosing the right vehicle size makes a big difference — especially for city driving and parking.
7-Seater People Carrier
Best for: families of 5–6
Premium comfort and easiest to park in city centres. The VW Multivan and Mercedes V-Class are the top picks for city-based groups who want to drive in urban areas.
8-Seater Minivan Most popular
Best for: groups of 6–7 with luggage
The Ford Tourneo Custom in 8-seat config gives you the best balance of passenger space and boot room. Ideal for airport runs and longer road trips out of Reykjavik.
9-Seater Minibus
Best for: large groups of 8–9
Maximum capacity. The VW Caravelle handles 9 passengers comfortably. Note: boot space is minimal at full capacity — consider a roof box for longer stays.
