Do I Need 4x4 Rental in Iceland?

If you are planning to travel to Iceland in the winter (generally, November through March), a 4x4 is the safest vehicle to rent. There is a lot of ice and snow during winter months in particular, so you would always be advised to choose a 4x4. 

Year round, you need a 4x4 rental in Iceland if you are planning on using F Roads and travelling across the whole island. It is illegal to drive F Roads in Iceland without a 4x4 as these roads are hard to navigate and smaller vehicles or campervans often need to be rescued.

For this reason it is always best to ensure you take out 4x4 rental in Iceland if you plan on heading outside the capital of Reykjavik and seeing some of the amazing sights around the country. Many waterfalls, volcanoes and other attractions can be inaccessible by normal roads, meaning either a long walk from nearby parking, or using a 4x4 on the F Roads.
