  • BASIC + SCDW included — excess €1,000

    On our website every price includes BASIC + SCDW, which lowers your excess for covered damage from €3,000 to €1,000. Optional upgrades: add Tire and Windshield Protection (TWP) for €20 a day for the cover of PLUS, or choose MAX for €40 a day: excess €0, TWP and Sand and Ash Protection (SAP) included, and wheels and tires covered too (not damage only to suspension, batteries, roof or radios). No cover option covers undercarriage or water damage.

    Fitted on every car from 1 November to 14 April, at no extra charge.

  • Keflavík Airport shuttle

    Included during opening hours (04:00–20:00): call or WhatsApp us when you have your bags and we pick you up outside the arrivals hall. Our office is about 10 minutes from the terminal.

  • Meet-up details confirmed before travel

    Give us your flight number; after-hours pickups and returns are only on request, agreed in advance.

  • Documented condition record

    At pickup you walk around the car and we send you our photos and 360° video. Any damage charge comes with written notice, photos and the repair estimate or invoice first (rental terms, clauses 10 and 13).

  • N1 fuel discount

    An N1 fuel-discount tag on your keyring gives a discount when you fill up at N1 stations.

Where you can take it

Drivetrain

Front-wheel drive

Ground clearance

Low

F-roads (mountain roads)

Not permitted on F-roads, Kjölur (road 35 from road 37 to road 732), Kaldidalur (550), Öxi (939), road 586 or road 864. Our terms allow them only in a four-wheel-drive vehicle (4x4, 4WD or AWD) that the booking confirms as F-road approved, and on our website only the Comfort, 4×4 Adventure and Highland 4×4 categories can be booked that way. Driving there in this car means no waiver covers the damage, and a €1,000 prohibited-road fee may apply (rental terms, clauses 16 and 40).

Seasons

All-season on paved roads

Recommended for

  • Full Ring Road (paved)
  • Group travel & large luggage
  • Golden Circle & South Coast
  • Airport transfers

Not suitable for

  • F-roads, Kjölur (road 35 from road 37 to road 732), Kaldidalur (550), Öxi (939), roads 586 & 864
  • Narrow highland gravel tracks
  • Deep snow or remote winter routes

Rivers are entirely at your own risk — driving into or across any river, stream or ford, even on a permitted F-road, with any vehicle or cover option. No waiver covers water damage: you pay the repair, or the car's value, plus towing (rental terms, clause 17). If water covers the road, stop and wait or turn back.

Need the Highlands or F-roads? See our 4×4 Adventure category (true 4×4) — F-roads need a four-wheel-drive car that your booking confirms as F-road approved, and they open in summer only. Read the F-roads guide →

Common questions about this car

Can a 9-seat van drive the full Ring Road (Route 1)?

Yes — Route 1 is fully paved and accessible to vans. The van is an excellent group vehicle for the Ring Road, the Golden Circle, and South Coast. Allow extra time on winding sections.

Can I take a van on F-roads or gravel highland tracks?

No. Vans are front-wheel drive with low ground clearance and are not permitted on F-roads, Kjölur (road 35 from road 37 to road 732), Kaldidalur (550), Öxi (939), road 586 or road 864. They are also not well-suited to narrow highland gravel tracks. For highland routes, choose a Comfort, 4×4 Adventure or Highland 4×4 car that your booking confirms as F-road approved.

How much luggage fits in a 9-seat van?

With all seats in use, luggage space is limited — plan for one bag per person in the cargo area. If you are traveling with fewer passengers, you can fold rear seats for significant extra cargo space.

Do I need a special license for a 9-seat van?

Our Family & Space van seats 9 including the driver, which a standard category B car license covers in Iceland — D1 is only needed above 9 seats. The minimum age is 25, though at our discretion we may rent it to drivers aged 20–24 for the young driver fee of €15 a day. If your license was issued outside the EEA and you are unsure, contact us before booking and we will confirm for the specific vehicle.

Is the road-use charge shown up front for the van?

Yes. The road-use charge, €10.50 per started day, is shown next to the day rate and itemized in the price breakdown for all vehicles before booking.

From ~€185/day + €10.50/day road-use charge (low-season from-price — summer rates are typically higher; your exact price is confirmed when you book):
