Additional Extras

Fuel and Maintenance
When you collect your vehicle, it will have a full tank of fuel, and the vehicle should be returned with a full tank. If the fuel tank is less than full, we will fill it up and charge for the extra fuel in addition to a small refill fee. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the locations of nearby gas stations before heading back to the airport.
Driving in Iceland
You need to rent a 4×4 to drive safely and legally on F-Roads in Iceland. Other vehicles are forbidden to drive on these roads, which typically lead through rugged and remote areas, where the road conditions can be treacherous.
