Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a 4×4 to drive in Iceland?
Not always. For Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon, and the Golden Circle, a 2WD is often fine. Choose a 4×4 for winter, gravel roads, or any F-roads.
What’s the minimum age to rent a car at KEF?
Many suppliers rent from age 20–21 with a valid license held for 1 year. Some 4×4 or premium classes require 23–25+. Young driver fees may apply.
Are winter tires included?
In winter months, cars typically come with winter or studless tires. Confirm exact dates and specifications with your chosen provider.
Can I drive on F-roads?
Only with a 4×4 and when F-roads are open (usually summer). Off-road driving is illegal. Always check road.is before setting off.
Is mileage unlimited?
Many KEF rentals include unlimited mileage. Always verify the mileage policy on the offer page before booking.
Do I need a credit card?
Most companies require a credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Some accept higher deposits with debit; check terms.
What insurance do I really need?
CDW is common. For rural travel, adding gravel and sand/ash protection is smart. Super CDW or zero-excess bundles reduce liability.
What’s the difference between KEF and RKV?
KEF is the international airport near Keflavík; RKV is Reykjavik’s domestic airport. Most visitors pick up at KEF.
Can I add an extra driver?
Yes. Additional driver fees vary; some deals include one free extra driver. Ensure all drivers bring a license and are listed on the contract.
Are child seats available?
Yes—infant, child, and booster seats are available for hire. Pre-book to guarantee availability during 2025
