Yes, but it’s logistically challenging. Many local agencies cannot authorize cars to cross the internal border because of license-plate and registration rules (KRG vs. Federal Iraq). Your best chance is an international brand with offices in both zones, and you must request any checkpoint/registration authorization papers in advance.
