Rent a Suzuki Jimny in Iceland | 4x4 | Manual
The Suzuki Jimny is a small 4x4 for two people who actually plan to use four-wheel drive. If the Highlands and F-roads are part of your summer trip, the Jimny gives you access that you won’t have with one of Ring Rental’s 2WD cars. It’s manual and available from mid-April through mid-October.

Is the Suzuki Jimny a Good Rental Car for Iceland?
Yes, if there are two of you and you’re planning a summer trip that takes you beyond Iceland’s paved roads.
- The Jimny is small, but it’s a 4x4. That makes it an option for two people who want to drive F-roads without renting a much larger vehicle.
- This is really a two-person road-trip car. There’s room for two people and two large bags. If you're traveling with anyone else, you'll need something bigger.
- F-road access still has limits. The Jimny is allowed on F-roads except F-249, but that doesn't mean every F-road or river crossing is suitable for a small 4x4.
- This is a seasonal rental. The Jimny is generally available from around mid-April through mid-October rather than throughout the year.
When to Choose the Suzuki Jimny
- Summer: If you’re coming to Iceland because you want to explore the Highlands, this is where the Jimny works well. It’s allowed on F-roads, with the exception of F-249. Keep in mind that F-roads vary considerably, and being allowed on them doesn’t mean the Jimny is right for every road or river crossing.
- Spring and autumn: The Jimny is generally available from around mid-April until mid-October, but that doesn’t mean Highland roads follow the same schedule. Roads can open later or close earlier depending on conditions. Check road.is before you assume a particular F-road will be open for your trip.
- Winter: The Jimny isn’t a winter rental. You’ll need to choose one of Ring Rental’s other 4x4s instead.
Not the Right Car If…
- There are more than two of you. The Jimny is a two-passenger vehicle.
- You only drive automatic. Ring Rental’s Jimnys are manual.
- You assume 4x4 means you can drive anywhere. The Jimny is permitted on F-roads except F-249, but individual roads and river crossings can require more than a small 4x4 can handle.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I drive a Suzuki Jimny on F-roads in Iceland?
-
Yes. The Jimny is permitted on Iceland’s F-roads, with the exception of F-249. That permission doesn't mean every F-road is suitable for the Jimny, though. Road difficulty and river crossings vary, so check the specific route before you go.
- Is the Suzuki Jimny good for driving in the Icelandic Highlands?
-
Yes, especially for two people who want to include the Highlands in a summer trip without renting a larger 4x4.
- How much luggage fits in the Suzuki Jimny?
-
Two large bags. If you're bringing more than that, you'll need to look at one of Ring Rental's larger 4x4s.
- Can I rent a Suzuki Jimny in Iceland in winter?
-
No. The Jimny is a seasonal rental and isn't normally available during winter. Ring Rental has other 4x4 options for winter trips.
Before you book the Jimny, check the roads you actually plan to drive and make sure a small 4x4 is enough for your itinerary.
