Frequently Asked Questions
We negotiate with all the major car hire companies (including Hertz, Budget and Europcar) to secure exclusive prices — and if you do find the same car from the same supplier at a cheaper rate elsewhere, we will beat it. In one simple search, we compare prices on a wide range of cars, with all the information you need upfront. You can also filter the search results to find the car best-suited to your needs. Finding your ideal hire car at the right price has never been easier with Rentalcars.com.
We believe in being impartial, so we show reviews and ratings left by previous customers next to each listing — that way you can see which companies people had the best overall rental experience with, before you part with your hard-earned cash. You can also avoid hidden fuel charges by choosing a car with a full-to-full fuel policy. As long as you refill the tank before dropping the car off, you won’t be faced with any extra fuel charges.
Blue Lagoon: Located in very close proximity to Keflavik is one of Iceland’s main tourist attractions. The Blue Lagoon is a highly popular destination for visitors to Iceland. Mineral-rich hot water from beneath the earth forms the spectacular lagoon, where a luxurious health spa has been developed in the rugged landscape. The lagoon’s geothermal seawater is known to have positive effects on the skin, and a trip to Iceland would be incomplete without visiting this amazing destination.
Reykjavík: The capital and largest city of Iceland can be reached in around 45 minutes by car. As home to the vast majority of the country’s inhabitants, Reykjavik is the centre of culture and life of the Icelandic people — as well as being the focal point of tourism in Iceland. Although the city is small, there is plenty to see and do here in terms of culture, arts and activities. The National Museum of Iceland, the Reykjavik Art Museum, the 101 Gallery and the Museum of Hafnarfjördur are all worth a visit. The city is also graced with fabulous architecture such as the awe-inspiring Hallgrímskirkja church which dominates the skyline.
Thingvellir National Park: Situated on the Northern Shore of Lake Thingvellir stands the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir. A place of huge historical significance and national importance, the oldest existing parliament in the world first assembled here in 930AD. The area is also protected as a national park due to the unique geology and natural features found in this region. This extraordinary landscape can be reached in around 70 minutes when driving from Keflavik.
- The most common cause of accidents on Iceland’s roads is where a paved road suddenly changes to a gravel one. Always keep an eye on the road surface ahead and make sure you slow down before switching to gravel.
- Gravel roads in Iceland are often quite narrow. If a car is approaching from the opposite direction, slow down and move as far to the right as you can.
- When driving through the countryside in Iceland, it isn’t unheard of to encounter livestock crossing the road. If you see sheep near the roadside, slow down and wait for them to cross.
