Good to know

The Land Rover Defender is a high-capability 4x4 and can be a strong option for more demanding Iceland routes. Always check road conditions, weather warnings and official road openings before driving, especially outside the capital area or during winter. If your route includes F-roads or highland routes, make sure your rental terms allow the road you plan to drive and that the road is officially open. Some routes may still be unsafe or restricted even when driving a capable 4x4.
