Top tips when hiring a car in Iceland

  • Select the Right Type of Vehicle: Consider the type of terrain and weather conditions you'll encounter during your Iceland trip. If you plan to explore the rugged Icelandic countryside, including gravel roads and F-roads, renting a 4x4 or SUV with high ground clearance is advisable. For urban travel or shorter trips along the Ring Road, a standard car may suffice.

  • Book Early: Iceland is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months. To ensure availability and get the best rates, book your rental car well in advance of your trip. This is particularly important if you're visiting during peak season or if you have specific vehicle preferences.

  • Understand Insurance Options: Carefully review the insurance options offered by rental companies. Basic insurance typically covers third-party liability, but consider purchasing additional coverage for comprehensive insurance, including collision damage waiver (CDW) and gravel protection. Iceland's unpredictable weather and road conditions make comprehensive insurance especially valuable.

  • Plan Your Route: Before setting out, plan your driving route and research road conditions using reliable sources like the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration (IRCA) website. Be aware of any road closures, weather alerts, or seasonal restrictions, especially if you plan to venture into remote areas or explore the Highlands.

  • Respect Nature and Safety: Iceland's natural landscapes are fragile and often subject to environmental protections. Stay on designated roads and trails, respect parking regulations, and avoid off-road driving, which is strictly prohibited and can result in hefty fines. Additionally, prioritize safety by adhering to speed limits, wearing seatbelts, and exercising caution on Iceland's narrow, winding roads.
