Is the Hyundai Tucson with Roof Tent a Good Rental Car for Iceland?
For a two-person summer camping trip, the Tucson combines an automatic 4x4 with a roof tent in one of the newest vehicles in Ring Rental's fleet.
- Ring Rental's Tucson is a 2026 model. That's newer than several of the other two-person roof-tent vehicles in the fleet.
- The James Baroud tent measures 125 × 210 cm. It's set up for two people travelling and camping together.
- The Hyundai Tucson has space for four bags. If you travel with large suitcases, remember you'll probably be carrying more than luggage once you're on the road.
- It's a hybrid petrol 4x4. F-road access is there if your summer itinerary takes you into the Highlands.
When to Choose the Hyundai Tucson with Roof Tent
Summer: This is the season for the roof-tent Tucson. You can travel between campsites around the Ring Road and include F-roads too. The automatic transmission also keeps the driving familiar if that's what you normally drive at home.
Winter: Ring Rental mainly offers the standard Tucson during winter, while the roof-tent version is primarily a summer vehicle. For a winter trip, look at the standard 4x4 fleet and book indoor accommodation instead.
Shoulder season (spring and autumn): Check that the roof-tent Tucson is available for your dates. Be prepared for colder nights, and don't count on the Highland roads being open. Check road.is before you head that way.
Space and Luggage in the Hyundai Tucson with Roof Tent
The Hyundai Tucson has space for four bags. Keep in mind that on a camping trip, those four bags aren't the only things competing for space.
Think about what you'll pick up or use after you leave the airport too: food, hiking gear, jackets, and whatever else you keep in the car during the trip. If you're bringing large hard-shell suitcases, you'll run out of room faster than you think. If you know you pack heavily, Ring Rental has roof-tent vehicles with five-bag capacity.
Not the Right Car If…
- More than two people need beds. The Maxus T-60 + iKamper is Ring Rental's roof-tent option for up to four sleepers.
- You already have accommodation booked every night. Compare the standard Tucson or another rental without a roof tent instead.
- You know four-bag capacity won't be enough. The Ford Kuga, Dacia Duster, and Jeep Renegade roof-tent models are listed with space for five bags.
- Your trip stays on the Ring Road and other regular routes. A 4x4 isn't required simply because you're camping in Iceland. Check the roads on your itinerary before paying for capability you won't use.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many people can sleep in the Hyundai Tucson roof tent?
-
Two. The James Baroud roof tent has a sleeping area of 125 × 210 cm. Although the Tucson has five passenger seats, the tent is designed for two sleepers. For a group of three or four people who want to camp together, the Maxus T-60 + iKamper has sleeping space for up to four.
- Can I drive the Hyundai Tucson with Roof Tent on F-roads?
-
Yes. The Tucson with Roof Tent can go on F-roads except F-249. Before heading into the Highlands, check the road you plan to take. Some F-roads may still be closed during part of the summer, and conditions can vary considerably from one route to another.
- Is the Hyundai Tucson with Roof Tent a hybrid?
-
Yes. Ring Rental's 2026 Tucson with Roof Tent is a hybrid petrol vehicle. This is different from the plug-in hybrid Eclipse Cross, which Ring Rental provides without a charging cable. If fuel type is part of your decision between the two, keep that difference in mind.
- Do I need a 4x4 for a summer camping trip around Iceland?
-
Not necessarily. You don't need a 4x4 just because you're camping or driving the Ring Road in normal summer conditions. Look at the roads you actually plan to drive. If F-roads aren't on the itinerary, one of Ring Rental's 2WD vehicles may cover what you need without paying for a 4x4.
The Tucson with Roof Tent is built around a summer camping trip for two. If you want a newer automatic and four bags is enough for the way you pack, you can still include F-road driving without moving into a larger campervan.
