WHY RENT A STANDARD 4X4 SUV IN ICELAND?
- Hiring a rental vehicle in Iceland is always a good choice! It’s a cost-efficient way to move around the island at your own time and pace. On top of that, public transport in Iceland is very limited outside of the big cities, making it more difficult to explore even the most accessible areas, such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula or the Golden Circle.
- Our Standard SUV & 4x4 rental category includes high, robust, spacious 4-wheel drive vehicles with adaptive locomotion over difficult or irregular terrain, making them the right choice for off-road driving and discovering the most remote and inaccessible parts of Iceland. Open your map, lock in your destination and shift the gear!
- While traveling around Iceland in your rental car you may encounter ‘F-roads’; this is the name given in Iceland to mountain roads leading to the Icelandic Highlands. They are unpaved, gravel roads that will take you off the beaten track and to the more remote areas, where you’ll find most of the island’s natural wonders.
They are only open from June to September and a 4x4 vehicle is absolutely compulsory, so you're in luck! Should you want to travel beyond the city limits and explore the whole island, your 4x4 SUV rental is exactly what you need! - Beware! In terms of driving regulations, the Icelandic nation is very proud of its virgin natural landscapes and strives to preserve them, so carving out your own off-road path with your rental vehicle is illegal and punishable with a very big fine or even jail time.
Make sure to keep your headlights and seatbelt on at all times (no matter what the season or time of day is). Want to use your cellphone while behind the wheel? No can do! Make sure your hired vehicle includes a hands-free kit if you don’t want to have to stop every time your phone rings.
IMPROVE YOUR 4WD SUV RENTAL: CHOOSE YOUR EXTRAS!
Having the right equipment while on your Iceland road trip makes all the difference. At Reykjavik Cars we make sure to keep stocked up on all the essentials you might need during your trip and offer you a long list of extras to upgrade your rental.
Not sure what to add to your 4x4 SUV rental vehicle? Here are our customers’ TOP 3 extras to help you decide!
Gravel Insurance
When traveling down unpaved, gravel and dirt roads, it is a regular occurrence for gravel to hit vehicles’ windshields, headlights and body causing mild to severe damage, thus making Gravel Protection the perfect extra to ensure 100% coverage for your 4x4 SUV rental!
Extra Driver
Iceland has so many hidden treasures to explore that sitting behind the wheel all day can be tiring. That need not be an issue! Just add an extra driver to your insurance policy, take turns in the pilot seat of your 4x4 SUV rental and cruise the island in comfort.
Baby Seat
There's nothing more important than guaranteeing your own safety and that of your family. That's why adding a baby seat to your SUV 4x4 rental for your road trip around Iceland isn't up for discussion, so choose the right seat for your child (0-13kg, 9-18kg and 15-36kg) and hit the road!
