IceRental 4x4 camper hire in Iceland: rooftop tent 4x4s

Q: Which IceRental 4x4 model should you choose?

The Suzuki Jimny, short and light, squeezes in anywhere but has little room for luggage. The Dacia Duster, the Jeep Renegade, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Suzuki A-Cross seat five and take more luggage. For four travellers, the Maxus T-60 pick-up is the only model that lets everyone sleep on board.

Q: Where is the IceRental 4x4 depot?

The single IceRental 4x4 depot is at Bogatröð 2, in Reykjanesbær, in the Keflavík area. It is outside the terminal but a short distance from the international airport: allow for a taxi or the transfer that may be mentioned in the offer. Opening hours are shown in your booking confirmation. RV Iceland hands over its vehicles at the same address.

The rental company

IceRental 4x4, Iceland by 4x4 and under a rooftop tent

IceRental 4x4 is a rental company based in Iceland that offers neither converted vans nor conventional motorhomes: its fleet consists of 4x4s topped with a rooftop tent, where two people sleep above the vehicle. All departures take place at Bogatröð 2, in Reykjanesbær, in the Keflavík area, not far from the international airport. RV Iceland also hands over its vehicles at this same address.

Seven models are in the catalogue: the Suzuki Jimny, manual or automatic, the Dacia Duster, the Jeep Renegade, the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Suzuki A-Cross with an iKamper tent and, for four berths, the Maxus T-60 pick-up, also fitted with an iKamper tent. Only the Duster and one of the two Jimnys have a manual gearbox.

The offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, all for departures in July, include unlimited mileage. The excess did not appear in them: its amount, like that of the security deposit, is shown in each offer. A 4x4 in principle opens up the F-roads of the Highlands in summer, within the limits set by the rental company, particularly for crossing fords.

Our verdict: a light, mobile formula, made for travellers ready to camp who want to leave Route 1. Its limits: no enclosed living space for cooking or taking shelter when the weather turns, four berths at most, a single depot that requires a round trip and a check-in inspection to carry out carefully before setting off.

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with IceRental 4x4

Unfold the tent once before setting off

Ask the agent to show you how to open and close the rooftop tent, then do it again yourself. Check the ladder, the mattress and the covers. On the first evening, in the rain or wind, you will be glad to know the moves already.
Check the vehicle and equipment at the counter

Before leaving Reykjanesbær, walk round the 4x4, photograph the bodywork and windscreen, start the engine and look at the dashboard: report any warning light that is on. Also check that the options you booked, such as the table and chairs, are there, and keep the assistance number to hand.
Fold the tent away when the wind picks up

A rooftop tent catches Icelandic gusts easily. Check vedur.is every evening, choose a sheltered spot and point the rear of the vehicle into the wind. If a storm is forecast, keep the tent closed and spend the night in accommodation.
Do not drive into a ford without thinking

On F-roads, some rivers have to be forded. Water damage is often excluded from insurance in Iceland: read the terms of the offer, observe the current and depth before crossing, and turn back if in doubt. Road conditions are shown on road.is.
Bring soft bags

The boot of a Suzuki Jimny or a Jeep Renegade fills up quickly with camping gear and provisions. Soft travel bags slip in more easily than hard-shell suitcases. If you are travelling as four with a lot of luggage, the Maxus T-60 pick-up leaves more room.

What travellers ask

Your questions about IceRental 4x4

How much does an IceRental 4x4 hire cost in Iceland?

Based on our prices recorded in October 2026 for 14-day hires in July, mandatory fees included, IceRental 4x4 starts at €167 per day with the manual Suzuki Jimny, for a median price of close to €198. Allow about €184 for the Jeep Renegade, €198 for the Dacia Duster, €217 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse and €386 for the Maxus T-60 pick-up. Your dates will give the exact price.

How do you sleep in an IceRental 4x4?

Each vehicle carries on its roof a tent that unfolds at each stop: you climb up a ladder and two people sleep on a mattress, off the ground. The Maxus T-60 pick-up offers four berths. There is no kitchen or bathroom on board: campsite facilities serve as a base for washing and doing the dishes.

Which IceRental 4x4 model should you choose?

The Suzuki Jimny, short and light, squeezes in anywhere but has little room for luggage. The Dacia Duster, the Jeep Renegade, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Suzuki A-Cross seat five and take more luggage. For four travellers, the Maxus T-60 pick-up is the only model that lets everyone sleep on board.

Can you drive on F-roads with IceRental 4x4?

Icelandic law restricts F-roads, which lead to Landmannalaugar for example, to 4x4 vehicles, and the whole IceRental 4x4 range falls into this category. These tracks generally only open in summer, depending on the snowmelt. The rental company’s terms, in particular on fords and insurance exclusions, are specified in each offer: read them before planning the itinerary.

Where is the IceRental 4x4 depot?

The single IceRental 4x4 depot is at Bogatröð 2, in Reykjanesbær, in the Keflavík area. It is outside the terminal but a short distance from the international airport: allow for a taxi or the transfer that may be mentioned in the offer. Opening hours are shown in your booking confirmation. RV Iceland hands over its vehicles at the same address.

Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...

It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.

This is the second time I rent through Cooldrive and had no issues the first time, but this time I had a small problem with the vehicle, as I had to go back to ICErental4x4 three times. First, I had reserved a table and chair that they forgot to put in the vehicle. Then, two warning lights turned on (tire pressure and another one); their response was "it's broken, but it's fine." And I had to return for the third time because the engine warning light came on. I lost half a day just to finally get another vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — IceRental 4x4 rooftop tent 4x4 hire in Iceland

Why book IceRental 4x4 with CoolDrive?

CoolDrive places IceRental 4x4 vehicles in the same list as the vans and pick-ups of other Icelandic rental companies, with the mileage, the excess and the price including mandatory fees for each one. You can compare a rooftop tent with a van in a few clicks, pay online and keep a CoolDrive expert reachable for any question until departure.

What is the excess with IceRental 4x4?

The amount of the excess did not appear in the IceRental 4x4 offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026. Each offer states it, along with the security deposit required and the cover that allows you to reduce it. Also check the cover for flying gravel, sand and water, and the limit of the credit card that will be used for the security deposit.

Is mileage unlimited with IceRental 4x4?

Yes: all the IceRental 4x4 offers recorded in October 2026, from the Suzuki Jimny to the Maxus T-60 pick-up, include unlimited kilometres. On an island where the ring road alone is over 1,300 km, not counting detours to the Westfjords, Snæfellsnes or the interior tracks, this avoids any unpleasant surprise on return.

Can you return the vehicle somewhere other than Reykjanesbær?

No. IceRental 4x4 has only one depot, so every hire ends where it started. Plan a route that returns to Keflavík: a tour of the island along Route 1, or a loop via the Golden Circle, the south coast and a foray into the Highlands. Leave some margin on the last day before your flight.

Where can you pitch a rooftop tent in Iceland?

The general rule is that nights in a vehicle or a rooftop tent are spent at a campsite, unless the landowner gives permission. Campsites line Route 1 and some areas of the Highlands in summer. Find them in advance and note their opening dates, as many close as early as autumn.

Can you hire an IceRental 4x4 outside summer?

The offers recorded by CoolDrive only concern July. Out of season, sleeping in a rooftop tent exposes you to cold, wind and very long nights, and many campsites are closed. For a spring, autumn or winter trip, run a search with your dates and ask our experts about availability.
