Driving a motorhome in Iceland
Almost all roads are free, highland tracks (F-roads) are closed to motorhomes and wild camping with vehicles is forbidden.
Motorways, tolls and vignettes
What a vignette is: in some European countries you buy a permit before using the motorways, now often digital and linked to the number plate, valid for a set period instead of paying at toll booths.
There are no tolls, except the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel near Akureyri, which is paid online.
Environmental sticker, ZTL and low emission zones
There is no environmental sticker.
Low emission zones in our data
No low emission zones appear in our data. Still check the local rules in the towns where you stop.
Useful rules for motorhome travellers
Sleeping in a motorhome outside campsites is forbidden: for the night use campsites, which exist even in small villages.
Highland F-roads are for four-wheel-drive vehicles only: motorhomes cannot use them.
Wind can be very strong: before setting off check the weather and road conditions on the official websites.
Information checked on 30 October 2026. Rules change: always check the official websites before you leave.
