Damage waiver

Un accident est vite arrivé. C’est pourquoi nous vous conseillons d’ajouter une couverture dégâts à votre réservation. Cette assurance coûte 37€ par jour et couvre le véhicule lorsque vous ou un·e autre conducteur·rice du groupe êtes au volant.

Si vous ne choisissez pas cette option, vous devrez payer une caution de 1000€ avant votre départ. En cas de dégâts, une somme maximale de 3000€ peut vous être facturée.

An awning

Looking for a bit more comfort on the road? This awning can be set up in about 5 minutes and easily slides onto your rooftop tent. Handy for some shade on sunny days, but in Scotland it’s also just nice to have when the occasional shower passes by. Ideal for cooking outside, eating, or simply relaxing outdoors a little longer.

FAQ about the car with a rooftop tent

Can I drive on small roads?

Yes, and it’s actually a real advantage! With the Kia Sportage (or a similar model), you can easily navigate the small roads of the Highlands, including single-track roads and their passing places. It’s much simpler and less stressful than driving a large motorhome, especially when parking, passing other vehicles, and stopping wherever you like.

How can I charge my devices during the journey?

The vehicle is equipped with USB-C ports, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for navigation and music. That way, your phone stays charged throughout the journey.

Is it difficult to set up the rooftop tent?

No, the tent can be set up in just a few minutes thanks to its freestanding base. We’ll explain everything during the briefing before you set off, and you won’t need any tools.

How many people can sleep in the tent?

The rooftop tent is designed for two people, with a comfortable 140 cm-wide mattress. If there are three of you, we’ll provide a ground tent for the third person, complete with a mattress, sleeping bag, pillow and extra tableware. Everyone will have everything they need.

Where can I cook?

You cook outdoors using the supplied gas stove. Set up at your camping table and prepare your meals surrounded by nature. Some campsites also have covered indoor areas where you can cook out of the elements.

Will we be cold at night in the rooftop tent?

The tent is well insulated with thick, waterproof, windproof fabric designed for Icelandic conditions.

What kind of driving licence do I need?

A standard category B driving licence is all you need. You must be at least 25 years old and have held your licence for at least 2 years.
