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. They are also not well-suited to narrow highland gravel tracks. For highland routes, the 4×4 is the right choice.
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 boot area. If you are travelling with fewer passengers, you can fold rear seats for significant extra cargo space.
Do I need a special licence for a 9-seat van?
Our Family & Space van seats 9 including the driver, which a standard category B car licence covers in Iceland — D1 is only needed above 9 seats. If your licence 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 ISK 1,575 per started day road-use charge is included in the price breakdown for all vehicles before booking.

Road-use charge — ISK 1,575 per started rental day. This estimate splits to ISK 1,390 official rental-car daily fee plus an ISK 185 processing estimate. “Per started day” means a day begun counts as a full day (e.g. a 10-day rental = ISK 15,750). About the road fee →
