Why Hire a Car in Iceland?

Unlike some European countries, Iceland does not have a strong public transportation system in place, meaning that if you want to explore beyond the capital city’s limits, a rental car is essential. 

Our fleet of dependable, comfortable and high-quality rental cars means that you can experience the best that Iceland has to offer in style. View our range of cars and choose the one that is most suitable for your visit to Reykjavík and the wider parts of Iceland! If you’re not sure how to select the best rental car for your visit to Iceland, we can help you select the perfect hire car for your visit.

Iceland is the ideal destination for avid road-trippers. From Reykjavík, you can join Route 1, famously known as the Ring Road, which will take you to each corner of this incredible island nation. Explore all that Iceland has to offer at your own pace and in a comfortable, affordable hire car from Reykjavik Rent a Car.
