Extra Space, Extra Comfort, Maximum Efficiency

The Fiat Doblo Maxi is one of the most practical choices for the Ring Road and the South Coast. Because of its extended length, you gain more space to organize your gear and a slightly longer bed, which is a significant plus for taller travelers. It drives exactly like a small car, making it approachable for anyone nervous about driving a larger vehicle in Iceland's coastal winds.

While it is a 2WD vehicle—meaning it is not permitted on F-roads—it is a champion of the paved highways and well-maintained gravel roads that lead to Iceland's most famous waterfalls and glaciers.

The "Maxi" Advantage

  • Extended Sleeping Area: The fold-out double bed (approx. 120 x 200 cm) is slightly longer and wider than in standard compact models, comfortably sleeping two adults
  • Superior Storage: The extra length translates into a larger storage area under the bed, easily swallowing two large suitcases and all your hiking equipment
  • Fuel Efficiency: The 1.6L MultiJet diesel engine is legendary for its low fuel consumption, making this one of the most budget-friendly ways to circle the island

What is Included

  • Kitchen & Dining: A portable gas stove (with one full gas canister), a cooling box/refrigerator, and a sink with a 10L water tank. Includes a pot, frying pan, plates, bowls, mugs, and a full cutlery set for 2 people
  • Cleaning Kit: Dishwashing tub, sponge, dish soap, and a kitchen towel
  • Sleeping Gear: Two premium, sub-zero-rated sleeping bags, two pillows with fresh cases, and a bottom sheet for the mattress
  • Warmth & Power: A built-in Webasto heating system with an auxiliary battery to keep the cabin warm all night. Includes USB ports to keep your phone and camera charged
  • Service & Convenience: A 5-minute complimentary airport shuttle to the pick-up location
  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance nationwide.
