While Iceland’s stunning landscapes and remote areas offer incredible experiences, they require special attention and preparation. So what’s the deal with driving in Iceland?

F-roads are Iceland’s highland roads, often unpaved and with challenging terrain. They’re usually open only during the summer months, depending on weather conditions and snowmelt. F-roads can involve steep gradients, loose gravel, and river crossings - suitable only for 4×4 vehicles. Driving on F-roads requires a high level of caution and skill. Here are some tips to help you navigate these roads safely:

Use a 4×4 Vehicle: F-roads are not suitable for 2WD vehicles. Only 4×4 vehicles are authorized to drive on these roads.
Check Road Conditions: Before setting off, always check the latest road conditions and closures. Some F-roads may close unexpectedly due to weather changes.
Be Prepared for River Crossings: Many F-roads involve crossing rivers. Ensure you understand the proper techniques for river crossings, and if in doubt, wait or turn back.
Drive at a Safe Speed: The terrain on F-roads can be unpredictable. Drive at a speed that allows you to maintain control and react to changing conditions.
Respect the Environment: Offroading is strictly illegal in Iceland. Always stay on designated roads to protect the fragile ecosystem.

Not everywhere, but it’s strongly recommended depending on where you plan to travel. Winter tires are mandatory at this time of year, and a 4x4 or AWD vehicle provides extra traction and stability on snow, slush, and gravel.
