What documents do I need to rent a car in Iceland?

Can I rent a car in Reykjavik and return it at Keflavik Airport?
Absolutely. One-way rentals are available between Reykjavik, Keflavik Airport, and most major cities in Iceland. When booking online, just select your pickup and drop-off locations
Is it safe to drive in Iceland in winter?
Yes, but you should be careful. All our winter rentals come with studded or winter tires. We also recommend renting a 4x4 if you plan to drive outside the main roads or visit the highlands. Always check road conditions before setting off
What type of car is best for traveling around Iceland?
If you’re staying near Reykjavik or the south coast, a compact or economy car is enough. However, for exploring the full Ring Road or mountain routes, we recommend an SUV or 4x4 for better comfort and safety

No. Our prices are fully transparent. The rate you see online includes taxes, insurance, and roadside assistance. There are no surprise charges at pickup or return
Can I drive to the highlands or F-roads with a rental car?
Only if you rent a 4x4 vehicle. Regular cars are not allowed on F-roads in Iceland. Our team will advise you on the best route depending on your travel plan

No problem. We monitor flight arrivals and will hold your car until you arrive. Just provide your flight number during booking, and we’ll adjust your pickup time automatically
Do you deliver cars to hotels or apartments?
