Know Before You Go

Why Iceland is different

F-Roads Require 4x4

Highland roads (F-roads) are gravel, unpaved, and often include river crossings. Regular cars are not allowed—and insurance is void if you take one.

Insurance Is More Complex Here

Basic collision cover is included but carries a high excess (€1,500+). Upgrading to gravel protection and zero-excess cover is extra — and often necessary.

Gravel Damage is Common

Iceland's Ring Road and highlands are full of loose gravel. Windscreen chips and body scratches happen daily. Standard insurance often excludes this.

Deposits Can Be €2,000+

Rental companies hold a security deposit on your credit card (debit often not accepted). This can be €1,500–2,500 depending on vehicle and coverage.

Finally, a rental site that tells you the truth. The gravel protection recommendation saved us from a €400 claim. Everything was exactly as described.

I loved how they explained F-road restrictions clearly. Knew exactly which roads I could take. The car was spotless and the supplier was genuinely friendly.
