Are F-roads accessible with a rental car from FOSS in Iceland?

In Iceland, F-roads such as F210 and other mountain or highland roads can remain impassable well into the summer. Known for strong winds, F-roads are not regularly maintained and may contain large holes and rocks that could damage a car's underbody, leading to costly repairs for the renter. It’s important to note that only AWD & 4x4 vehicles are suitable for driving on F-roads. Additionally, off-road driving—venturing off established roads and tracks—is illegal in Iceland and strictly forbidden. Violations can result in severe fines and even imprisonment. Specific roads like F88 and F894 (Öskjuleið), F249 (Þórsmörk), and F578 (Arnarvatnsvegur) are only passable with large 4x4 vehicles. Roads 550, 35, and 570, though not classified as F-roads, also require 4x4 vehicles for safe navigation.

You can conveniently drop off your rental car at our designated locations in Iceland, which include our offices in Keflavík and Hafnarfjörður. If you need to return the car outside these hours 07:00-23:00, simply leave the keys in our secure keybox. This flexibility ensures a smooth and hassle-free end to your car rental experience as you explore Iceland.
