 Iceland Car Rental Mini Guide

Iceland has a reputation for being a very expensive country to visit, however hiring a car doesn't have to break the bank. Relative to other travel costs such as hotels and public transport, hiring a car in Iceland represents great value. Prices starting from around £15 per day for an economy class rental car in Iceland, there's no reason not to get behind the wheel and take to the roads in Iceland in a hire car. 

Organising  car rental in Iceland in advance is a great way to ensure you see what the Island has to offer. Following the rules of the road and local guidance / advice is important to staying safe when driving in Iceland. All rental cars in Iceland are fitted with suitable winter tyres to ensure safe passage around the road network. Taking care and treating the roads and weather conditions with respect is important when driving in Iceland.
