A reliable, fuel-efficient way to explore Iceland’s Ring Road and Highlands | New 2026 model
he Dacia Duster 4×4 Roof Tent Camper is a practical, affordable choice for travelers who want more freedom in Iceland without booking a larger campervan. As a more compact alternative, it gives you the flexibility to drive the Ring Road, stay at campsites around the country, and access many of Iceland’s F-roads when seasonal openings and road conditions allow. In turn, this opens up routes toward Highland areas such as Landmannalaugar, the Askja region, and other remote interior landscapes that standard rental cars cannot reach.
As a 4WD vehicle, the Duster is fuel-efficient, handles well, and is a proven choice for Icelandic conditions. It is well-suited to travelers who want a vehicle that feels easy to drive while still being capable enough for many of Iceland’s rugged Highland roads, whether you are planning a classic Ring Road itinerary with scenic detours or hoping to reach places like Landmannalaugar and other mountain-road destinations when conditions allow. For couples or friends looking for a balance between comfort, practicality, and adventure, the Duster offers a simple way to experience more of the country.
This model sleeps two people in a rooftop tent that is quick and easy to set up, while seating up to five people during the day as you travel around Iceland. The Duster comes equipped with many of the essentials you need for the road, including kitchen equipment, a 12V cooler, table and chairs, plus pillows and sleeping bags to help keep you warm on colder nights. Please note that this model does not have a heating system.
The Dacia Duster Roof Tent Camper is a great fit for travelers who want a flexible, more compact way to explore Iceland without giving up 4WD capability. From Golden Circle highlights and black sand beaches to more remote regions like the Westfjords, it offers an accessible way to experience more of the country.
Important: Even though this camper is authorized on F-roads, off-roading is strictly illegal in Iceland.

What Travelers Loved About the Dacia Duster
“We had a great experience renting from Rent.is! We had no issues during our 9 day road trip in Iceland staying in the Dacia Duster 4×4 with rooftop tent! The tent was super easy to set up and made for a fun adventure! It can get a little chilly at night but the tent insulated pretty well and we layered up along with the sleeping bags so it wasn’t bad at all. The 4wd was definitely a plus for piece of mind even though we didn’t end up going on too many F-roads, but we did explore the westfjords which have quite a bit of dirt/gravel roads. The airport pickup/dropoff was also very smooth and didn’t have to wait too long. Would definitely rent from them again!” — John via Google Reviews
“We highly recommend renting a car from Rent.Is. We rented two cars for 15 days. The prices are affordable, and the staff were very helpful. The transfer to and from the airport was also very efficient. The Dacia Duster with a rooftop tent is perfect, even on rainy days. We only slept two people in one car, while the other had three people sleeping: two in the tent and one inside the car. Let me put it this way: if you want to visit Iceland on a budget and see many of the most beautiful places in Iceland that are hard to reach, I highly recommend Rent.Is. The staff are very friendly and committed, and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back!” — Tadeusz via Google Reviews

First Time Using a Roof Tent? What to Know Before Booking
If you are looking to rent a rooftop tent car in Iceland for the first time, the Dacia Duster is one of the easiest ways to try it. The rooftop tent is quick to set up, the vehicle is easier to drive than a larger camper, and the included camping equipment helps keep your trip simple and flexible.
Before booking, it is important to know whether this setup matches your travel style. This model sleeps two people and works well for travellers who are comfortable with a more compact camping experience. It does not have a heating system, so you should be prepared for cool nights, especially outside peak summer. The tent is water-resistant, but in strong winds and heavy rain, some moisture may enter.
Storage space is also limited once the camping equipment is packed, so soft bags are recommended over hard-shell suitcases. Overnight stays should be planned at designated campsites, and while the Duster is suitable for many F-roads, access always depends on seasonal openings, weather, and road conditions.

Yes, this is a good choice for first-time roof tent travelers who want a simple setup and an easier driving experience than a larger camper. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience is more compact and weather-exposed than staying in an enclosed camper.
We recommend being confident driving a manual vehicle before booking, especially for Iceland’s steep inclines, gravel roads, and F-roads. If you are not comfortable driving a manual, an automatic option may be a better fit for your trip.

Its diesel engine helps keep fuel costs lower than those of larger camping vehicles on longer trips around Iceland.
