Why rent a car in Iceland?

Renting a car in Iceland offers unparalleled freedom to explore the country's diverse landscapes at your own pace. From the bustling streets of Reykjavík to the remote beauty of the Highlands, having your own vehicle allows you to access both popular attractions and hidden gems that are often unreachable by public transport.

With a rental car, you can tailor your itinerary to your interests, whether it's chasing the Northern Lights, visiting secluded hot springs, or embarking on the famous Ring Road adventure. This flexibility ensures a personalized and immersive Icelandic experience.

Car rental tips for Iceland

  • Book your rental car well in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure the best rates and ensure availability of your preferred vehicle type.
  • Consider purchasing additional insurance coverage, such as gravel protection and sand and ash protection, to safeguard against common road hazards unique to Iceland.
  • Always check the weather forecast and road conditions before setting out, as Iceland's weather can change rapidly, affecting driving safety.
  • Plan your fuel stops carefully, especially when traveling in remote areas, as gas stations can be sparse; it's advisable to refuel whenever you have the opportunity.

FAQs about renting a car in Iceland

What is the recommended car type/category?

For urban areas and main roads, a standard two-wheel-drive vehicle is sufficient. However, if you plan to explore the Highlands or travel during winter months, a four-wheel-drive (4x4) vehicle is recommended to handle rough terrains and unpredictable weather conditions.

What are the parking options?

In Reykjavík, parking is regulated with zones requiring payment during certain hours; it's essential to pay attention to signage to avoid fines. In rural areas, parking is generally more accessible, but always ensure you're not obstructing traffic or parking on private property.

What's the speed limit?

Speed limits in Iceland are typically 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) on gravel roads, and 90 km/h (56 mph) on paved rural roads. Always adhere to posted signs, as conditions can vary, and be cautious of changing weather affecting road safety.
