4x4 Car rental Iceland
Do I need a 4x4 rental car in Iceland?
With the unpredictable weather, harch seasons and tough roads a 4x4 is without a doubt the safer choice when traveling in Iceland in a rental car.
Over 13.000km of roads and less then 5000km covered with asphalt you'll want a sturdy 4x4 rental car to lead you through the bumpy gravel roads and steep hills of Iceland
While rental cars in iceland are allowed on all of them (except F-roads), there are plenty of roads that are not serviced regularly and shouldn‘t be attempted with a regular vehicle. With a 4x4 rental car you‘re pretty well geared for most roads in Iceland.
Driving a 4x4 rental car in Iceland allows you to explore so much more then it would driving a 2WD, getting to isolated regions like the Westfjords and the north-east. 4x4 cars are perfect for getting off the beaten track and exploring the undiscovered regions.
All caution needs to be taken even when driving a 4x4 in Iceland.
