You'll probably be alone the entire way. That's the point.

Frequently
asked
questions
What car do I need for F349?
The minimum vehicle for F349 is "large 4x4". A proper 4WD like the Dacia Duster or Suzuki Vitara covers "any 4x4" roads; pick something larger for "medium 4x4" routes. The rental section below has live prices — the code MAP gives 12% off.
Can I drive F349 in a 2WD car?
No. F349 legally requires 4WD, like every F-road in Iceland. Driving it in a 2WD car is illegal and voids your rental insurance if anything goes wrong.
When does F349 open?
Most highland F-roads open mid-June to early July and close by September or October. Check road.is before you drive.
How do I get to F349?
F349 (Kerlingarfjöll old) is located in Highlands. Check live road status on road.is before you drive — F-roads close without warning after rain or early snow.
Is river-crossing damage covered by rental insurance on F349?
No. River-crossing damage is excluded from every rental insurance policy in Iceland, even full-coverage plans. Cross only where locals or rangers confirm it’s safe.
