The rental company

Hertz Iceland, from car hire to a vehicle you can sleep in

Hertz Iceland carries in Iceland the Hertz brand, known worldwide for car hire. Alongside its city cars and SUVs, the rental company offers a few vehicles for travelling and sleeping on board. Its two desks are at airports: Keflavik, where international flights arrive, and Reykjavik, at 5 Flugvallarvegur, the domestic airport, in the city.

Three models appear in our data, all with a manual gearbox: the Toyota Hilux 4WD Camper, a pick-up with a pop-top living unit for three people, the Dacia Duster 4x4 topped with a roof tent for two, and a campervan simply called “Motorhome”, with four seats and two berths.

CoolDrive did not observe any Hertz Iceland offer in October 2026: excess, mileage, insurance and access to mountain tracks can be read in each offer. The rental company highlights extended insurance packages and flexible options.

Our view: a logical choice if you want a four-wheel-drive vehicle, collected as soon as you land, from an international brand. Less suitable if you are looking for the space of a real motorhome: the range is small, with no automatic gearbox, and the roof tent needs mild weather.

Our view

Hertz Iceland: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Hertz Iceland is ideal if…

  • You want to pick up the vehicle as you step off the plane at Keflavik
  • You are aiming for the Highland tracks in summer with a 4x4, if the offer allows it
  • You are travelling as two or three, light, and spend most of your days outdoors
  • You prefer a rental company with an international reach for assistance

Hertz Iceland is not ideal if…

  • You are travelling as a family and need four or more berths
  • You only drive automatics
  • You want a shower, a toilet and a proper lounge area on board
  • You are travelling in the depths of winter and worry about the cold in a roof tent
  • You want to compare observed prices before choosing
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Hertz Iceland

  1. Choose between a roof tent and a living unit

    The Dacia Duster drives like a car, but the tent unfolds on the roof, exposed to wind and rain. The Toyota Hilux 4WD Camper houses the berths in a pop-top living unit, which is better protected. For a trip in May or September, this difference matters.

  2. Read the insurance before driving on gravel

    In Iceland, the most common damage comes from flying gravel, sandstorms on the south coast and doors torn off by the wind. Check in the offer what each package covers and always open doors facing into the wind, holding them with both hands.

  3. Check the roads every morning

    Before setting off, look at road conditions on umferdin.is, the weather on vedur.is and alerts on safetravel.is. Depending on snow, F-roads are only passable in summer, often between late June and early September, and river fords should only be crossed after checking the depth on foot.

  4. Inspect the vehicle at the desk

    Walk around the vehicle with the agent, photograph every chip on the windscreen and bodywork, and put up the tent or pop-top roof once in front of them. Note the rental company’s assistance number: outside towns, there may be no phone signal.

  5. Sleep at designated sites

    Spending the night in a vehicle outside a campsite is generally prohibited in Iceland without the landowner’s consent. Locate the campsites along your route: many close from October to May, and those that stay open are rarer in the East and the Westfjords.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Hertz Iceland

How much does a Hertz Iceland hire cost?

We do not yet have any Hertz Iceland price observed by CoolDrive, and no estimate would be reliable. The rate varies greatly between the Icelandic summer and the rest of the year, as well as with the model and the insurance package. Search with your dates and departure airport to get the exact price, mandatory fees included.

Where can I collect a Hertz Iceland vehicle?

Two desks appear in our data. The first is at Keflavik international airport, handy as soon as a flight from abroad arrives. The second is at Reykjavik airport, 5 Flugvallarvegur, very close to the centre of the capital. Returning the vehicle to the other airport depends on the offer.

Can I drive on F-roads with a Hertz Iceland vehicle?

Icelandic law restricts F-roads, which cross the Highlands, to four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Toyota Hilux Camper and the Dacia Duster are 4WD, but the rental company’s permission and insurance cover on these tracks are stated in the offer. The “Motorhome” campervan is not presented as a 4x4: in that case, stick to ordinary roads.

Which Hertz Iceland model should I choose?

For two, the Dacia Duster is the easiest to handle and sleeps on the roof; it keeps five seats for daytime. The Toyota Hilux 4WD Camper sleeps three and offers better protection from the wind. The “Motorhome” campervan stays on ordinary roads, with two berths inside for those who prefer not to climb onto the roof.

Can I drive around Iceland on Route 1?

Yes: around 1,300 km long and almost entirely paved, Route 1 loops around the country. Allow at least ten days to enjoy the Golden Circle, the south coast, the Eastfjords and Lake Mývatn. Check the mileage included in the offer, since CoolDrive does not yet have any data for Hertz Iceland.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Hertz Iceland campervan hire in Iceland

Why book Hertz Iceland with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, Hertz Iceland vehicles appear alongside those of Holdur, IceRental 4x4 or JS Camper, so you can compare converted pick-ups and roof tents in a single search. The price shown includes the mandatory fees, the listing details the insurance and terms, and our experts help you plan a route suited to the season.

What is the excess with Hertz Iceland?

Our October 2026 data do not give an excess for Hertz Iceland. The amount, the security deposit and the packages that reduce it are described in each offer. In Iceland, also look at the exclusions: gravel, sand, volcanic ash, underbody damage or fording rivers are often dealt with separately. Check your credit card limit.

Can I hire a 4x4 with a roof tent in winter?

Even if an offer appears in low season, a roof tent in the Icelandic winter means suitable gear, very cold nights and campsites that are often closed. For a trip between November and March, the campervan or the Hilux with living unit are more comfortable. Also check the tyres and heating provided in the offer.

Are Hertz Iceland vehicles automatic?

No, according to our data: the Toyota Hilux 4WD Camper, the Dacia Duster and the “Motorhome” all have a manual gearbox. On tracks and on mountain pass descents, being comfortable with engine braking helps. If an automatic is essential for you, other Icelandic rental companies offer them in the search engine.

What should I do if I break down in the middle of nowhere?

Before departure, save the assistance number given by the rental company and the 112 Iceland app, which lets you report your location. Check the vehicle’s inventory at the desk: spare wheel, jack, cables. If there is a problem, first call the rental company’s assistance, then let our experts know for the rest of the trip.

Should I book early for the summer?

Yes. Hertz Iceland’s converted range has only three models, and demand is concentrated from June to August, when the Highland tracks open. Booking several months ahead leaves you the choice between the Hilux, the Duster and the campervan, and between Keflavik and Reykjavik for departure.
