About The Car

Looking for an electric rental car that’s efficient, comfortable, and easy on the budget? The BYD Dolphin is a compact electric hatchback with everything you need to explore Iceland’s main roads—without extra hassle or fuel costs.

With a real-world electric range of up to 427 km, the Dolphin is perfect for trips along the Golden Circle, South Coast, or even the Ring Road, as long as you stick to paved and standard gravel roads. Like all 2WD cars, it’s not suitable for F-roads or Highland routes.

Despite its compact size, the Dolphin seats up to five passengers comfortably and has a surprisingly spacious trunk—345 liters with the seats up, and over 1,300 liters with them folded down. It’s a great option for couples, solo travelers, or small families looking for a clean, quiet ride with zero emissions.

Inside, you’ll find a 12.8” touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Other features include heated front seats, vegan leather upholstery, USB-C charging ports, and a climate control system that’s ideal for changing Icelandic weather.

Charging is simple and fast. The Dolphin supports DC fast charging up to 88 kW, which gets you from 10% to 80% in about 40 minutes. You’ll receive the car with at least 70% charge, and we ask you to return it at the same level. A 25,000 ISK fee applies if returned under 70%. Charging stations are widely available along Iceland’s most popular routes.
