Description

Rent a Tesla Model Y AWD in Iceland and swap fuel stops for charging stops on one of the quietest, quickest ways to see the country. Dual-motor all-wheel drive and instant torque make this electric SUV rental just as confident on gravel roads as it is cruising the Ring Road, with a spacious cabin and generous trunk space, front and rear, for road trip gear.

Whether you are chasing the Northern Lights or tracing the dramatic South Coast, the Model Y AWD turns the drive itself into part of the adventure.

Hire a Tesla Model Y AWD Electric SUV in Iceland

See more of Iceland in a car that matches the scenery: quiet, quick, and built for the Ring Road. The Tesla Model Y AWD pairs dual-motor all-wheel drive with instant electric power, so every stretch of tarmac, from Reykjavik's city streets to the black-sand coast of the South, feels smooth and controlled. It is one of the most requested cars in our electric car rental Iceland fleet, and a strong pick for travelers who want a premium, low-emission way to do a self-drive trip.

This vehicle is NOT allowed on F-roads (highlands) in Iceland. Driving on F-roads (highlands) with a non-4x4 vehicle can result in a 500€ fine.

Insights

Performance and range

Dual-motor AWD delivers 403 PS (296 kW), with an official range of up to 600 km. Real-world range typically runs closer to 500 km depending on driving style, road conditions, weather, and use of heating, which is worth planning around on longer legs of the Ring Road. The Model Y comes on studded winter tires suited to Icelandic conditions and an automatic transmission throughout.

Comfort and technology on board

Five seats, heated front seats, a large center touchscreen with built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, dual USB-C charging ports, cruise control, and parking sensors with a rear camera. The cabin is noticeably quiet at speed, which makes long highland-adjacent drives easier on everyone in the car.

Space for the trip

Room for 2 suitcases and 1 bag, plus additional front-trunk storage, making this a practical electric SUV rental Iceland option for a couple or small family packing for a multi-day road trip.

Charging in Iceland

Every rental includes a Type 2 charging cable. You can charge at ON and Isorka stations, both widely available around the Ring Road and across Reykjavik. No special EV license or endorsement is required. A standard driver's license held for at least one year is enough.

Where you can drive it

The Tesla Model Y is suitable for paved roads and well-maintained gravel roads across Iceland. It is not permitted on F-roads (Iceland's unpaved highland mountain roads); driving an AWD-rated EV on an F-road still breaches the rental agreement, and fines of up to 500 EUR apply.

Who can rent it

Drivers must be at least 20 years old and have held a valid license for a minimum of one year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Up to 600 km officially, though real-world range is closer to 500 km depending on driving style, road conditions, weather, and cabin heating. Plan charging stops on longer Ring Road days.

At ON and Isorka charging stations, both of which have chargers around the Ring Road and throughout Reykjavik. Tesla has also partnered with N1 to add official Tesla Supercharger stations at N1 fuel stations around the country, growing the network toward roughly 29 locations and 200+ charging stalls; these Superchargers are open to all EV brands, not only Teslas. A Type 2 charging cable is included with every rental.

No. A standard driver's license is enough, no separate EV certification is required.

No. F-roads are Iceland's unpaved highland mountain roads and this vehicle is not permitted on them, even though it is all-wheel drive. It is suitable for paved roads and well-maintained gravel roads. Driving on an F-road breaches the rental agreement and fines of up to 500 EUR apply.

Yes. It comes fitted with studded winter tires and all-wheel drive, both well suited to Icelandic winter conditions on paved and gravel roads. Cold weather does reduce real-world range, so plan for more frequent charging stops in winter.

A minimum of 70% battery charge at return.

Yes, self-service pickup is available with Silver, Gold, or Platinum insurance packages.

Drivers must be at least 20 years old and have held a valid license for at least one year.

Yes, for most itineraries. Iceland's charging network covers the Ring Road and main towns, and an EV rental typically costs less to run day to day than a petrol equivalent since you are charging rather than buying fuel. The main planning difference is charging stops rather than fuel stops, and avoiding F-roads, which apply to this vehicle regardless of fuel type.
