Frequently Asked Questions

​

It’s totally worth it! Some of Iceland’s most remote and breathtaking locations can only be accessed via the F-roads, for which you’ll need a 4x4 vehicle.

1. Is it worth renting a 4x4 camper in Iceland?

​

Yes, you can. We recommend the Mercedes Marco Polo 4x4 and the Volkswagen Transporter 4x4 if you want comfort, and the Jeep Forester and Renegade 4x4s for venturing deep into Iceland’s Highlands.

2. Can I rent an automatic 4x4 camper in Iceland?

​

Renting a 4x4 camper in Iceland for 1 week will cost you around $574 ($82 per day), depending on the season and your vehicle choice.

3. How much does it cost to rent a 4x4 camper in Iceland?

4. Do I need a 4x4 campervan for the Golden Circle in Iceland?

​

No, you don’t. The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland with well-maintained roads, suitable for both 2WD and 4WD vehicles. However, if you’re traveling during the winter, we do recommend a 4x4 rental for the added traction and safety that they provide.

5. Do I need a 4x4 camper van for the Ring Road in Iceland?

​

No, it’s not necessary. The Ring Road, or Route 1, is Iceland’s main highway that circles the whole island, and its roads are well-kept and completely accessible with a 2WD vehicle. On the other hand, we do recommend a 4x4 camper rental if you’re traveling during the winter, or just in case you decide to take on the F-roads and visit Iceland’s Highlands.

6. Do I need a 4x4 campervan to drive on Iceland's F roads?

Yes, if you plan to drive on Iceland's F-roads, especially into the highlands or the north, a 4x4 campervan is not just recommended, it’s required. These mountain roads often involve rough terrain, river crossings, and even snow during the winter months.

​

A standard 2WD campervan won't have the access or clearance needed to safely navigate these routes. That’s why our campers are the perfect choice for adventurous travelers looking to explore beyond the typical tourist routes.

​

Our vehicles come with CDW insurance for peace of mind, and they’re fully equipped for your road trip, including sturdy wheels designed for rough landscapes and harsh weather conditions.

​

If you're chasing the northern lights under the Arctic skies or venturing through Iceland's rugged interior, a 4x4 on all four wheels gives you the freedom and safety to go where others can’t.

7. Does my campervan have a heating system?

Yes, absolutely. All our campervans are equipped with a heating system, so you’ll stay warm and comfortable no matter the weather. Whether you're exploring Iceland in the colder months or heading deep into the Icelandic Highlands, a reliable heating system is essential for a safe and cozy journey.


Many travelers are surprised by how quickly temperatures can drop at night, even in summer. That’s why every vehicle in our fleet comes fully equipped with a powerful heating system to ensure you can relax after a long day of exploring, crossing rivers, or driving along remote F-roads.


So yes, your campervan not only has a heating system, but it's one of the key features that make our rentals perfect for year-round adventures in Iceland.

8. Should I cross a river in Iceland?

Crossing a river in Iceland can be one of the most exciting parts of your journey, especially if you're planning on exploring Iceland beyond the typical tourist routes. Many of the most remote and stunning areas, particularly in the Icelandic Highlands, are only accessible via F-roads.
 

However, it’s important to approach this with caution. Only travelers driving a properly equipped 4x4 vehicle should attempt a river crossing, and always check the weather conditions before doing so, water levels can rise quickly and make some rivers unsafe to cross.
 

If you're looking to truly explore Iceland's wild side, renting a 4x4 camper designed for this terrain is a smart choice. With the right vehicle, preparation, and safety awareness, crossing rivers can be a thrilling and rewarding part of your adventure.
