Do I Need to Rent a 4x4 in Iceland?

This really depends on what sort of driving you are planning to do when in Iceland and where you planning to drive. If your trip to Iceland is just travelling around a city then it’s unlikely that you’ll need to hire a 4x4 in Iceland, although you could argue that you might not need to rent a car at all as public transport is excellent in the major cities and renting a car in Iceland can be expensive, although if you are visiting Iceland you’ll probably know already that most things in Iceland are expensive. That said, if you are visiting Iceland there is so much to see and do outside of the cities, that you may regret not renting a 4x4 in Iceland and explore beyond the city limits.
