Reykjavik Car Rental makes it easy to rent a car in Iceland. Based in Reykjavik with a convenient pick-up location in Hafnarfjordur, we offer a wide selection of vehicles — from compact city cars for quick trips around the capital to rugged 4x4 SUVs built for the highlands and gravel roads of Iceland's interior. Whether you're driving the Golden Circle, exploring the South Coast, or circling the entire island on Route 1, we have the right car for your adventure.
Iceland is a country best explored at your own pace. Public transport outside Reykjavik is limited, and many of the island's most spectacular sights — glacier lagoons, volcanic craters, hidden hot springs, and black sand beaches — are only accessible by car. A rental car gives you the freedom to stop wherever you want, change plans on a whim, and reach destinations that tour buses simply cannot.
We believe in honest, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Every rental includes basic insurance coverage, unlimited mileage options, and 24/7 roadside assistance. Our daily rates are competitive across all vehicle categories, and long-term rentals receive automatic discounts. You can compare prices instantly on our website and book in under two minutes.
Our fleet includes economy cars ideal for solo travellers and couples, mid-size sedans for families, and 4WD SUVs for those heading into Iceland's rugged interior. Every vehicle in our fleet is regularly serviced, thoroughly cleaned between rentals, and equipped with winter tyres during the colder months. Need extras like a GPS, child seat, or additional driver? We have you covered.
Collect your rental car from our Hafnarfjordur location, just a short drive from Reykjavik city centre and Keflavik International Airport. We offer flexible pick-up and drop-off times to fit your flight schedule, and one-way rentals are available on request. Our team is always on hand to help with route planning, road condition updates, and local driving tips.
Iceland's roads range from well-maintained highways to unpaved mountain tracks. The Ring Road (Route 1) circles the entire island and is suitable for all vehicle types year-round. F-roads in the highlands require a 4x4 and are only open during summer. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h on gravel roads, and 90 km/h on paved rural roads. Fuel stations are found in every town, though they can be far apart in remote areas — always plan ahead.
