Yes, it is possible. The terrain is mostly flat, but there is a very strong wind. I think some of the road is unpaved.
According to Google maps, it's ~500km. The roads are interrupted at the border crossings, so it cannot calculate a route, but in reality a road exists there.
Given the high prices of international one-way rental + additional foreign insurance required, I'd take a bus and rent a car at the destination.

Well, I don't think so. You can, but have to purchase international insurance. I inquired at Hertz 2 years ago when I was stranded there due to the earthquake. I did not like the cost of one-way + insurance, luckily I managed to find seats in the bus. There was a local company that allowed it too, I don't remember the name. Was left with the impression it is not anything extraordinary at other companies. Things may have changed since then.
