Is the Hyundai Tucson a Good Rental Car for Iceland?
Yes. The Tucson makes the most sense for a winter road trip when you want 4x4 without moving into one of Ring Rental's larger SUVs.
- These are 2026 models. If having one of the newer vehicles in Ring Rental's fleet matters to you, that's one of the Tucson's advantages.
- It’s an automatic transmission. That’s one less thing to think about if you’re already adjusting to unfamiliar roads, weather, and driving in a different country.
- It can go on F-roads. The Tucson is permitted on Iceland’s F-roads except F-249.
- It’s a petrol hybrid. You don’t have to plan your route around charging stations.
When to Choose the Hyundai Tucson
Winter: This is when you're most likely to find the standard Tucson in Ring Rental's fleet. If you're heading along the South Coast toward Jökulsárlón, the automatic transmission and 4x4 are useful in winter conditions.
Summer: The Tucson is a little different in summer. Ring Rental mainly offers it with a roof tent during this part of the year. If you’re interested in the Tucson for a summer trip, take a look at the separate roof-tent version.
Spring and autumn: Availability will depend on your dates. These seasons can bring everything from mild weather to snow, sometimes within the same trip. Check whether the standard Tucson is available when you book.
Not the Right Car If…
Most of your trip is on paved roads. If you’re sticking to Reykjavík, the Golden Circle, and other roads open to 2WD vehicles, you may not need a 4x4.
You’re looking for a Tucson for summer camping. The Tucson + Roof Tent is the version to look at instead.
