Question 1

Should I rent a van in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Rent a van if you are traveling with a family, a group of friends or a lot of luggage. A van gives you more seats, more storage space and lets everyone travel together in one vehicle.

Question 2

Is a van better than renting two cars?

Accepted Answer

A van is often easier than renting two cars because your group can stay together, follow one route and share luggage space. Two smaller cars may make sense if your group wants more flexibility, but one van is usually simpler for families and groups.

Question 3

Is a van good for driving around Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a van can be a good choice for driving around Iceland, especially on paved routes like the Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Ring Road sections. Always check the weather and road conditions before you drive.

Question 4

Is a van too big for driving in Reykjavik?

Accepted Answer

A van is larger than a small or medium car, so parking and narrow streets take more care. But if your group needs the space, a van is still practical for Reykjavik pickup and city driving. For parking tips, read our guide to parking in Reykjavik.

Question 5

How many people can fit in a rental van?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the specific van or minivan you choose. Always check the seat count on the vehicle card before booking. If you are traveling with luggage, do not choose based on seats alone. Make sure there is enough room for bags too.

Question 6

Do vans have enough luggage space?

Accepted Answer

Vans usually have more luggage space than small or medium cars, but capacity depends on the model and number of passengers. If every seat is full, luggage space can be more limited, so check the vehicle details before booking.

Question 7

Can I drive a van on F-roads in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Not all vans are allowed on F-roads. F-road permission depends on the specific vehicle type. If your trip includes Highland roads or F-roads, check the vehicle details carefully or compare our 4x4 rental cars.

Question 8

Where do I pick up the van?

Accepted Answer

You can pick up your van in Reykjavik with clear instructions before your rental begins. Free contactless keybox pickup may also be available. See our Find Us page for pickup details.
