  • Road surfaces will vary from paved tarmac to rough, rocky mountain roads. 
  • Driving off-road is illegal everywhere in Iceland, so stick to the road!
  • You will require a 4x4 rental vehicle if you want to explore Iceland’s Highlands via F-Roads.

    From Tripadvisor:

    We agree, this is an outstanding company. We rented a Hyundai i30; it was clean, operated fine and got great mileage. Their service was flawless. The car was delivered to our guest house right on time, and we dropped off at the guest house as well [in fact, they made a special trip to come get it as there was no parking when we returned due to an event in Reykjavik].
    As a note; we found driving in Iceland to be easy and unstressful [unlike Italy, Greece or Turkey]. Highways and roads are well marked. People generally drive courteously and obey the speed limits; the ring road is in very good shape and while we didn’t have any contact with the police they likely are very good English speakers [almost all Icelanders are]. Any time you get off the ring road [to go to an attraction or accommodation for example] expect a 1 lane gravel surface. There is the occasional wash boarding and pot holes to be avoided, but otherwise, if you go slowly they are fine, albeit quite dusty [if you are lucky to have dry sunny weather]. We drove from Reykjavik to Hofn and gas was easy to get with a credit card, although we didn’t figure out how to get a receipt. The gas stations also had free water [with a brush] for washing off the dust.

    Reykjavik Rent a car is just excellent.!!!!!!!!
    We have been traveling around iceland for 3 weeks. There is no better way to go around the island as with a car. We could stop everywhere, and we found absolutely magic (!!!) places. So, we have been looking for a good car company, and we couldn't have decided better. I think Reykjavik Rent a Car is the best car rental company i ever collaborate with. We had very special wishes about how our car should be and look like because of the way we wanted to travel. And they were really always very helpful and were responsive to ALL of our (sometimes crazy) wishes. Even when our tank was empty in the middle of nowhere there was someone helping us within 30 minutes.
    We especially want to thank Kristjan for this outstanding service i can't describe in words!
    We will come to iceland again and definitely will rent our car with Reykjavik Rent a Car.
    Thanks a lot for making our trip so perfect!

    I got a Nissan Pulsar to get me to Thingvellir and Kerið and around Reykjavík the car worked excellently. Easy to get to from the airport and the staff was very friendly late at night.
