KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Reykjavik

  • Renting a car has never been more fun in Reykjavik because it’s a city full of life. While driving around the city, you can visit spectacular attractions such as Gullfoss Waterfall, Golden Circle, and Snaefellsnes. However, remember to book a car in advance if you need to enjoy the freedom of driving alone or with your family. Also, don't assume you can always get a rental car unless you have a reservation. Though there are many rental cars in Reykjavik, they are always in demand and may inconvenience your traveling plans. Again, don't forget the different automatic and manual rental car options when booking.
  • When looking for cheap car rentals in Reykjavik, you’ll notice that most rental offices are located near Reykjavik Airport (RKV) or Reykjavik downtown. This helps you avoid the hassle of booking bus lines that only stop in towns. Car rental companies at the terminals include Hertz, Dollar, Fair Car, Firefly, and Sixt. Most rental agencies need you to pick up and drop the car at the airport to avoid charging hefty fees. Despite booking cheap rental cars in Reykjavik, choose the comfortable and spacious ones to allow room for luggage, especially if you’re traveling with your family.
  • Always consider where you’re going when booking cheap car rentals in Reykjavik. Before driving your rental car, look at the roads to ensure you can drive it in remote areas. Renting a 2WD can limit your options for visiting the breathtaking attractions in the city. Hence, book a 4x4 rental car if you need to navigate all the beautiful places in Reykjavik. Most of these rental cars are easy to drive on all roads, including gravel, muddy, steep or even across rivers. A 4WD is the best even when you visit the city during winter. You are safe and can get to your destination smoothly despite unpredictable weather conditions.
  • Looking to rent a car during your time in Reykjavik? For travelers landing at Keflavik International Airport, the rental car counters can be found in the Arrival Hall of the airport’s main terminal. If you are arriving in Reykjavik Airport on a domestic flight, you will find the Europcar rental desk on the west side of the airport and the Hertz rental desk on the east side of the airport.
  • Travelers should be aware that many of the tunnels and bridges in Iceland are one way and the right of way is given to whoever arrives first. This is particularly important because these bridges and tunnels tend to be quite narrow, and nobody wants to have to back up on a tiny bridge.
  • One of the major advantages of renting a car in Reykjavik is that it truly enables you to visit any part of the country. Many wonderful sites and natural wonders are easily accessible on a day trip from Reykjavik such as the Blue Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, and Kirkjufjara Beach. However, make sure to keep an eye on your fuel tank, as gas stations are sparse in Iceland.
  • Despite its relatively small size, Reykjavik still experiences the typical morning rush hour from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and evening rush hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, drivers will be happy to hear that the congestion is by no means severe, so, besides a few of the downtown streets backing up, there isn’t too much to worry about.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Reykjavik for C$ 62 or less
  • Book your rental car in Reykjavik at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Reykjavik are around 94% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Economy rental cars in Reykjavik are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

Reykjavik car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Reykjavik 
PhilipOct 2024
Be sure you know about the kilometer tax and whether the vehicle has a spare tire or something else. Check the condition of the tires since road surfaces vary widely and at some times of the year ice or snow could be dangerous. If you rent a plug-in hybrid vehicle, find out how to charge it. Traffic in Reykjavik isn't bad if you are used to city driving. Traffic outside Reykjavik is light. If you are not familiar with roundabouts, ask how they work--there are LOTS of them.

Ask counter agents to explain about tunnel tolls. Learn how to use Iceland traffic circles (different than in some other countries) in advance. Read about right of way on one way tunnels if you are driving the Ring Road.

Very easy to drive in the city. We did not have any problems. The only tip is to take a photo of your license plate for when they ask for it to pay for parking

Always check if you have to pay for parking! It’s easy to forget about because they simply record you with a camera as you drive in to the parking lot. Also, the way they drive in roundabouts is different! To exit, use the inner lane not the outer lane! Also, respect the speed limit. They have a lot of cameras
Verified travelerJul 2023
Unless you are unable to walk, don't drive. Most things are pretty easy walking distance and you see so much more on foot. Plenty of e-scooters to grab if you so desire. We only rented as we were going out to the countryside for a couple days.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Bring a credit card or inquire about what kind of cards they accept. Otherwise, hitchhike like we were forced to do instead of renting. It's not that bad.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Pumping gas in Iceland (or at least, figuring out how to pay for it) was a little confusing from an American perspective!

Only drove the golden circle, which was really easy. Don’t recommend driving the main drag (Lagavegur) heavy pedestrian traffic and one ways.

Call your credit card company to get a pin number. It's required at 80% or more of all gas stations in Iceland.

Cancelling the reservation was painful. The instructions said it had to be done by phone. When I phoned the person said why didnt you do it on line, I cant do the cancellation, you’ll have to call a different number at a different time. They were completely unhelpful in trying to change the type of vehicle (this was months in advance of the reservation date). Zero out of ten.

I feel like this company is a scam. They are trying to charge us for not having a full tank when we filled up at the gas station in their parking lot before turning car in. They also are claiming there are new scratches on the vehicle but again not true and they are refusing to send us pictures and now they will not even respond to emails. Stay away!

I like the vehicle and the fact that both pickup and dropoff were easy and fast. I could have used more familiarization with the car since it was a plug-in hybrid. I had no idea how to charge it. I also would like to have known that there was no spare tire, only a "mobility kit" that didn't have any instructions. Finally, it would have been good to know about the per kilometer tax, which increased the cost of the rental beyond the estimate. I asked if km were unlimited, but was not told about the tax. I understand the tax amount could not be predicted because it was not possible to know how many km we would drive, but at least I would not have been surprised by the extra cost.

The rental office is very close to the airport, but the directions that were emailed to me were not good. No one inside the airport could tell me where you were at. We ended up having a cab drive us to the location we were we mailed only to find out that you were back behind the airport in an office connected to a hotel. That little ride cost me $30.00. But the car was great, the staff were efficient, and the car was big enough to carry 3 people and two weeks worth of luggage. The price was the lowest we found. We will rent from you folks again.

I had rented a car for the incorrect dates, but immediately attempted to change the dates and the website would not allow me to do so. I attempted to call, but there was no answer. I emailed, but got no response. As a last resort, canceled the reservation on the website, but it did not list as canceled, until, eventually, it did say it was cancelled, but charged me the entire cost of the rental as a ‘cancellation fee.’ I would like my money back.

Pick up was a bit confusing, mostly because I misread the email. Would be awesome if there were signs for dollar somewhere in the airport, even if that sign just said to press the pickup button.

Thrifty and Dollar are not in the terminal. You catch the shuttle at the departure side of the airport under the "Meeting Point" sign. Only a 3-4 minute shuttle ride. I think this is the better option than renting in the airport because there is no wait once you get to site and they shuttle you right back to the departure entrance when you're finished. If you rent at airport it is quite a long walk back to terminal from the rental car drop-off, with luggage, and they do get a bit of rain in Iceland ' ). Keep their phone number handy so you can call if they're not yet at the Meeting Point when you're ready.

Pros:

Totally unacceptable. I rented the car (one way) well in advance and the guy at the local Avis called me that morning (Sunday) to say they had no cars, no one had returned, and there was nothing he could do about it. I spent hours calling around my area trying to find one but it was a medical emergency, and we ended up renting an Uber, hugely expensive.

Cons:

Everything. Avis in Westport is really bad.

There was no pick up. Also no person could be called. We had to take a taxi to find the rental company. When we explained it was annoying and asked to be compensated we got a discount for adding the additional driver for free to compensate the expensive taxi. This was good! Car had many warning lights and we went back they said it was still good. We also didn’t have any problems during the rental period so all was fine.

Pick up arrived 1.5 hours late. I was charged 30% more than announced and the car was in very poor condition. Was forced to accept the deal unless I would be willing to be left in the middle of nowhere (rental office) at 10 pm with my family after a 24 hour trip. Worst experience ever.

The shuttle was supposed to pick our party of 5 up at Keflavík Airport but when we arrived they would only shuttle one of us to the rental facility so I had to go by myself then go back to the airport and pick the rest of my family up. The facility appears to be in a car junk yard. The car pick up process took a long time, the staff was rude to everyone waiting there, and they put a hold on my credit card of over $3k on top of the cost of the rental and insurance. I thought I was signing for the cost of the rental and insurance because I did not understand the conversation rate. The hold was never verbally explained to me. The car was clean but run down, dented and rusty. Luckily I took video of the exterior and interior before I got in because when I dropped it off they were going to charge me for a dent in the door until I showed them my video… even though when I picked the car up they assured me that they took enough pictures. I also heard them on the phone with another customer who’s rental died at a waterfall. They basically blamed it on the customer and told them to call roadside assistance and hung up on them. Renters beware!

The car was filthy with black/ oily grime on steering wheel and all buttons, the tires were low in air so we had to constantly find gas station to fill them, the car was dented and with broken light covers. Ended having to pay for daily insurance which doubled the rental cost.could have found a better car for the same price elsewhere. Pick up and drop off was convenient

Jason, Aug 2021

The drop off was quick. Only because we were the only people there. The pick up was a complete mess and took forever. Took a long time for the shuttle to arrive from the airport. The rental car was very old. It had 110,000 miles on it was was very. I wish I had rented from hertz. avis, or enterprise and not a discount car rental.

Rented a car at a Downtown facility asked her to the airport as intended. When I attempted to change it to the airport facility, I was charged over $200 for a cancellation fee. I’ll dispute a charge and I’ll never use the service again.
