As the word continues to spread about this breathtaking country, the only question is,” What are you waiting for?” If you’re an outdoor adventure seeker planning a trip to Iceland, you’ll want to spend as much time outside experiencing the country as possible. Have you considered renting a 4×4 vehicle with rooftop camper tent? An option to include with car rentals, these pop-up style tents on the car’s roof can take your Icelandic experience to a whole new level. Here are five reasons why you should rent a rooftop camper tent for your next Icelandic adventure.

With your overnight plans strapped to the roof of your 4 by 4 vehicle, the possibilities are endless. Drive out to Vatnajökull National Park for a few days of hiking, then off to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the far north corner of Iceland.

With your tent located high off the ground, you don’t need to worry about curious bears or other wildlife bothering you while you sleep. Just lock your car and you’ll be good to go!
- Easy set up and extra leg room
Rooftop tents set up in minutes, and allow for the storage of other camping materials, like sleeping bags, sheets, and pillows, in with the tent. This means more room for you and your travel necessities in the car itself!
- Unbeatable experience
How many times are you going to be able to wake up to the sights, sounds, and smells of Iceland? For the Icelandic traveler looking to discover this majestic island, there is no better way to explore than with the rooftop camper tent. So, what are you waiting for?
