Before Rental
What is included in the rental price?
Your Ring Rental price includes Third Party Liability (TPL), Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW), Gravel Protection (GP), an additional driver, unlimited mileage and the Iceland road tax. Our complimentary shuttle between Keflavík Airport and our rental office is also included. Check your booking for the applicable excess and full coverage details.
Is the Iceland road tax included in the price?
Yes. The Iceland road tax is included in the final price shown on our website.
What is the minimum age to rent a vehicle?
You can rent a car from the age of 18. A young driver fee applies to drivers aged 18–20, and all car drivers must have held their driving licence for at least 12 months. For motorhomes, the minimum age is 25 and drivers must have held their licence for at least 24 months.
Can I use my foreign driving licence in Iceland?
Yes, provided it is valid and meets the rental requirements. Bring your original physical licence. If it is not written in Roman letters, you will also need an International Driving Permit or an accepted translation.
Can I rent without a credit card?
Yes. When you select Platinum Protection, you can use a physical debit card in the main driver’s name. Otherwise, the main driver must present a physical credit card in their name.
Is a security deposit required?
No. Ring Rental does not require a security deposit, regardless of the protection package you choose.
Do I need a 4x4 for the Ring Road?
For a summer trip on the Ring Road, a standard car may be suitable. Your choice should also reflect the season, weather forecast, number of passengers and any roads you plan to take beyond the main route. A 4x4 does not make a closed or unsafe road safe to drive.
Should I choose a car with a roof tent or a motorhome?
A roof tent vehicle gives you a car for exploring Iceland and a place to sleep at campsites. A motorhome provides an enclosed living and sleeping space. Compare the number of sleeping places, vehicle size and facilities shown for each model before booking.
Where can I camp with a roof tent or motorhome in Iceland?
Plan to stay at organised campsites. Overnight stays in a motorhome or roof tent vehicle outside organised campsites generally require permission from the landowner or rights holder, and additional restrictions may apply in protected areas.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Please contact info@ringrental.is as soon as possible and include your booking number. Cancellation terms differ between cars and motorhomes, so check the conditions that apply to your reservation before making changes.
