Car Rentals in Iceland - Search, Compare & Save

Iceland is famous for its dramatic landscapes – waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and the famous Golden Circle. Renting a car is the best way to explore this unique country, since public transport is limited outside Reykjavik. With a car, you can travel freely along the Ring Road, visit remote villages, and chase the Northern Lights.

The main pick-up location is Keflavík International Airport (KEF), where most travelers start their journey. Rentals are also available in Reykjavik city and Akureyri in the north. SUVs and 4×4 vehicles are strongly recommended, especially in winter or for highland routes.

When booking, look for deals with no hidden fees, free cancellation, and clear insurance coverage. Summer is the busiest season, so book early for the best availability. Fuel is more expensive than in most countries, but road conditions are excellent and signage is clear.

Important driving tips: headlights must be on at all times, off-road driving is illegal, and weather can change quickly, so always check conditions before heading out.

With a rental car, you can explore highlights like Þingvellir National Park, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Whether you want a compact car for short trips or a 4×4 SUV for adventure, car rental in Iceland gives you the flexibility to see it all.
