Your Choice of Vehicles
We use the local franchise holders of internationally known Europcar Rental. The majority of vehicles are up to around three years old and many are brand new. Depending on your itinerary, vehicles may be collected on arrival at Keflavik, Reykjavik City, Akureyri, Egilsstadir or Isafjordur airports (where rental documentation and formalities are handled upon collection of keys).
When staying in Reykjavik and Akureyri, you will be collected from your hotel and taken to the car rental depot (close to the centre) to complete the rental documentation. And if required, have a briefing on the vehicle’s controls and driving in Icelandic conditions. To download a handy summary of 'Things you need to know', click here »
