Be sure you know about the kilometer tax and whether the vehicle has a spare tire or something else. Check the condition of the tires since road surfaces vary widely and at some times of the year ice or snow could be dangerous. If you rent a plug-in hybrid vehicle, find out how to charge it. Traffic in Reykjavik isn't bad if you are used to city driving. Traffic outside Reykjavik is light. If you are not familiar with roundabouts, ask how they work--there are LOTS of them.

DannyJul 2024

Arrange a phone number or a good pick up plan. It was really annoying that we couldn’t find or call anyone when we where at airport.

Ask counter agents to explain about tunnel tolls. Learn how to use Iceland traffic circles (different than in some other countries) in advance. Read about right of way on one way tunnels if you are driving the Ring Road.

JohnJul 2023

Very easy to drive in the city. We did not have any problems. The only tip is to take a photo of your license plate for when they ask for it to pay for parking

Verified travelerJul 2023

Always check if you have to pay for parking! It’s easy to forget about because they simply record you with a camera as you drive in to the parking lot. Also, the way they drive in roundabouts is different! To exit, use the inner lane not the outer lane! Also, respect the speed limit. They have a lot of cameras

Verified travelerJul 2023

Unless you are unable to walk, don't drive. Most things are pretty easy walking distance and you see so much more on foot. Plenty of e-scooters to grab if you so desire. We only rented as we were going out to the countryside for a couple days.

Verified travelerJul 2023

Bring a credit card or inquire about what kind of cards they accept. Otherwise, hitchhike like we were forced to do instead of renting. It's not that bad.

Verified travelerJun 2023

Pumping gas in Iceland (or at least, figuring out how to pay for it) was a little confusing from an American perspective!

MatthewJul 2023

Only drove the golden circle, which was really easy. Don’t recommend driving the main drag (Lagavegur) heavy pedestrian traffic and one ways.

Verified travelerJul 2023

Call your credit card company to get a pin number. It's required at 80% or more of all gas stations in Iceland.

If you are driving the ring road get a car with unlimited mileage.

This may be silly, but check beforehand what credit cards they can take!

Looking to rent a car during your time in Reykjavik? For travelers landing at Keflavik International Airport, the rental car counters can be found in the Arrival Hall of the airport’s main terminal. If you are arriving in Reykjavik Airport on a domestic flight, you will find the Europcar rental desk on the west side of the airport and the Hertz rental desk on the east side of the airport.
Travelers should be aware that many of the tunnels and bridges in Iceland are one way and the right of way is given to whoever arrives first. This is particularly important because these bridges and tunnels tend to be quite narrow, and nobody wants to have to back up on a tiny bridge.
One of the major advantages of renting a car in Reykjavik is that it truly enables you to visit any part of the country. Many wonderful sites and natural wonders are easily accessible on a day trip from Reykjavik such as the Blue Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, and Kirkjufjara Beach. However, make sure to keep an eye on your fuel tank, as gas stations are sparse in Iceland.
Despite its relatively small size, Reykjavik still experiences the typical morning rush hour from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and evening rush hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, drivers will be happy to hear that the congestion is by no means severe, so, besides a few of the downtown streets backing up, there isn’t too much to worry about.
25% of our users found rental cars in Reykjavik for ₹ 5,759 or less
Intermediate rental cars in Reykjavik are around 73% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Reykjavik?
Weather and time of year are two of the main factors to take into consideration when choosing a car for your time in Reykjavik. In summer, for instance, small cars will be able to handle the roads with no issues. However, come winter, small cars can struggle with the weather, so it may be better to go with a midsize car instead.
What’s the speed limit in Reykjavik?
The standard speed limit on urban roads in Reykjavik is 50 km/h (31 mph), while on rural gravel roads it is 80 km/h (50 mph) and 90 km/h (56 mph) on rural paved roads. In residential areas, typically, the speed limit is 30 km/h (18 mph). There are also lower advisory speed limits posted along many of the roads.
Where are the best places to park in Reykjavik?
Drivers will be happy to hear that parking in Reykjavik is always free after 6:00 p.m. and all day on Sundays. Aside from that, parking rates go by the area (P1 - P4), with P1 being the most expensive and P3 being the cheapest; P4 is a separate weekend only designation. The general rule of thumb is that, as you get closer to Laugavegur High Street, parking becomes more expensive. Also, there are plenty of parking garages to be found in Reykjavik.

Cancelling the reservation was painful. The instructions said it had to be done by phone. When I phoned the person said why didnt you do it on line, I cant do the cancellation, you’ll have to call a different number at a different time. They were completely unhelpful in trying to change the type of vehicle (this was months in advance of the reservation date). Zero out of ten.

I feel like this company is a scam. They are trying to charge us for not having a full tank when we filled up at the gas station in their parking lot before turning car in. They also are claiming there are new scratches on the vehicle but again not true and they are refusing to send us pictures and now they will not even respond to emails. Stay away!

Kayak, you did not inform me that Sixt had a 100 euro fee for after hours pick up which went into affect at 6 pm. That is something you NEED to share when I book a rental with Sixt. I expect to receive reimbursement from Kayak for this mistake.

I like the vehicle and the fact that both pickup and dropoff were easy and fast. I could have used more familiarization with the car since it was a plug-in hybrid. I had no idea how to charge it. I also would like to have known that there was no spare tire, only a "mobility kit" that didn't have any instructions. Finally, it would have been good to know about the per kilometer tax, which increased the cost of the rental beyond the estimate. I asked if km were unlimited, but was not told about the tax. I understand the tax amount could not be predicted because it was not possible to know how many km we would drive, but at least I would not have been surprised by the extra cost.

Pros:

Totally unacceptable. I rented the car (one way) well in advance and the guy at the local Avis called me that morning (Sunday) to say they had no cars, no one had returned, and there was nothing he could do about it. I spent hours calling around my area trying to find one but it was a medical emergency, and we ended up renting an Uber, hugely expensive.

Cons:

Everything. Avis in Westport is really bad.

There was no pick up. Also no person could be called. We had to take a taxi to find the rental company. When we explained it was annoying and asked to be compensated we got a discount for adding the additional driver for free to compensate the expensive taxi. This was good! Car had many warning lights and we went back they said it was still good. We also didn’t have any problems during the rental period so all was fine.
