Where can you drive with the Hybrid Kia Niro in Iceland?
This vehicle is NOT allowed on F-roads.
With the Hybrid Kia Niro, you can easily explore Iceland’s most popular routes on paved and gravel roads. It’s perfect for driving the Golden Circle to see Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss, or taking on the entire Ring Road, which connects glaciers, black sand beaches, volcanoes, and waterfalls around the country. The Niro is also a reliable choice for visiting coastal regions like the Snæfellsnes Peninsula or the scenic Eastfjords. While the car is not permitted on highland F-roads, it offers fuel efficiency, comfort, and space for everyday adventures across Iceland’s main travel routes.
Important Reminder: Off-road driving is illegal in Iceland. Driving off-road on lava fields, moss, beaches, or unmarked land will result in heavy fines.
What are the benefits of renting a hybrid car?
The Hybrid Kia Niro merges the best of both worlds by combining a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor, allowing for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. This hybrid system provides the flexibility to drive on electric-only power for short city trips, or to utilize the combined power of both engines for longer journeys, maximizing efficiency and range.
- Lower Emissions: Drive with a smaller carbon footprint by utilizing the electric-only mode for short distances, significantly reducing emissions compared to conventional vehicles.
- Fuel Efficiency: Save on fuel costs with the hybrid system, which optimizes fuel use by switching between electric and gasoline power based on driving conditions.
- Quiet and Smooth Driving: Enjoy a quiet and smooth driving experience, particularly in urban settings where the electric motor operates silently at low speeds.
- Advanced Technology: Features like regenerative braking help recharge the battery during deceleration, extending your electric driving range and enhancing overall efficiency.
Please note: The charging cable is NOT included in the rental. It must be rented separately with the booking. You can add the charging cable during the booking process.
