Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drive an SUV on Iceland’s F-Roads?

Yes, but it depends on which SUV you opt for. While SUVs are often associated with 4x4s (four-wheel drive), not all of our SUVs are four-wheel drive, so be sure to pick one that comes with 4x4 capabilities if you plan on venturing off the beaten track. We recommend looking at the Kia Sportage, Toyota Hilux or Toyota Land Cruiser if you want to use the F-Road system.

Do I need to rent an SUV in Iceland?

Renting an SUV while travelling in Iceland is a great idea, particularly if you plan on exploring Iceland’s F-Road system or venturing further afield. Often equipped with 4x4 technology, SUVs also prove useful during the winter months, providing extra technology to help with tricky conditions caused by snow and ice.

What is the minimum age to rent an SUV?

You’ll need to be at least 20 years old to rent one of our SUVs while in Iceland.

Is there a minimum rental period for SUVs?

The minimum rental period for one of our SUVs is 24 hours.

What documents will I need to rent an SUV in Iceland?

Before you get behind the wheel of your SUV, we’ll need to see the following documentation:

  • A valid passport for all drivers of the vehicle.
  • A valid driving license for all drivers.
  • A valid credit card.

We accept all foreign licenses as long as it is in English, or has Latin characters. If your driving license does not follow this format, remember to bring an international driving license.

How do I pay for my SUV rental?

Credit and debit cards are accepted methods of payments. 

However, if you choose to use a debit card, a deposit will be collected and then refunded if the car is returned in the same condition as it was rented, with no additional costs or fees. We accept all credit cards. Please contact us for further information.

How do I pick up and return my SUV?

One of our team members will be waiting for you at the arrival hall of your airport and will take you to our office to complete the paperwork. After your journey has ended, you can return your rental vehicle to our office at any time. Alternatively, you can arrange for the vehicle to be delivered to a location that suits you, if arranged in advance.

Are there any laws I need to be aware of while driving an SUV in Iceland?

There are various rules and regulations that you’ll need to be aware of during your time in the country. For example, off-road driving is strictly prohibited in Iceland, so if you venture off the beaten path then you’ll need to ensure you’re sticking to the F-Road system.
