I had no idea but apparently there are some pretty awesome rental car options when traveling to Iceland.

This looks like it was done by the same people that did the Top Gear Hiluxes for the Arctic Special.

Very cool.

How else are you going to get people to come to Iceland? Offer cars that suit the climate and terrain.

From a PR angle, they really need to change the name of their country.

We flew Icelandic Air to London back in 2000, and they were running Arctic Truck ads on the flight. I could not wait to get home to find out more about these things.

They’re a necessity, those are the only vehicles that can traverse the interior of the country.

Wait till you see the prices....crazy indeed.

I was there in 2012 and hired the smallest and cheapest car I could find. Hyundai i10, €500 for a week.

Not necessarily. When I was there I took a 4wd bus trip across country (on a kind of road, you’re not allowed drive off road) and we encountered a convoy of Citroen 2CVs trundling along happily on what is supposed to be a 4wd only road.
