Iceland's weather can be unpredictable, so if you are visiting during the colder seasons, consider a car that is equipped for potentially adverse weather conditions. Look for cars with features like winter tyres, all-wheel drive (AWD), or vehicles designed for winter driving. If you plan to venture off the main roads or explore the Highlands, consider hiring a car with higher ground clearance, such as an SUV or a 4x4 vehicle. These types of vehicles offer better handling on rough or unpaved surfaces.
