Got questions? You’re in luck! We’ve already provided answers to the most common questions regarding luxury car rentals in Iceland.
1.
Why rent a car in Iceland?
Iceland is full of remote natural wonders, many inaccessible without your own means of transport. Renting a car in Iceland provides comfort and gives you the freedom to plan your trip the way you want, making the most out of every minute spent on the island.
2.
How much does it cost to rent a luxury car in Iceland for 1 week?
Renting a high-end car in Iceland for 1 week will cost you around $861 ($123 per day), depending on the season and the vehicle choice. The bigger your budget is, the better the vehicle you can hire!
3.
What are the luxury car rental companies in Iceland?
Currently, as shown in the following price/quality benchmark of Iceland car rentals, the wise choice is Reykjavik Cars. The reason you won’t find us on rental comparison sites, such as Kajak or RentalCars, is because we only work with local companies and are 100% based in Iceland. Why? To make sure we get the best deals and to provide the best customer service possible!
4.
Do I need an international drivers license to hire a car in Iceland?
All driving licenses issued from the U.S.A, Canada and the European Economic Area (EEA) are valid in Iceland. A driving license from anywhere else is valid provided it has:
- A license number.
- The license holder's photograph.
- A valid date.
- Been printed in Latin characters.
If your driving license does not fulfill ANY of the above requirements then you MUST obtain an International Driving License to be able to drive in Iceland.
5.
How old do you need to be to rent a luxury car in Iceland?
The registered driver must be at least 20 years of age and have held a full drivers license for at least 12 months.
The minimum age of the registered driver may vary according to the type of vehicle hired. Please check our terms and conditions.
You will also need a valid driver’s license, passport and a valid credit card to rent a vehicle in Iceland.
6.
What is driving like in Iceland?
You can use Iceland’s Ring Road to go all the way around the island in a single day if you don’t stop! But where’s the fun in that? Most people prefer spending a few days to complete this route and around 2 weeks to explore the island itself.
7.
How long does it take to drive around Iceland?
As you’ll probably want to venture out of Reykjavik and explore the island further, we recommend renting an automatic four-wheel drive (aka. 4x4) or SUV, as it will guarantee your mobility despite adverse weather conditions and give you the chance to reach as many far off corners of Iceland as possible.
8.
In terms of car insurance, is my travel insurance enough?
It depends on the travel insurance policy that you have purchased. Take a good look at the fine print to see what it covers, if anything.
In any case, and because it’s better to be safe than sorry, make sure that the same person appears on the travel insurance and on the rental agreement, and that if you incur any damage, you report it within 24 hours of the event.
9.
Can I rent popular sports car models like Porsche or Ferrari in Iceland?
No, very low ground clearance sports cars and supercars are not available for rent due to the risks that the Icelandic landscape and weather conditions pose for both the vehicle and the driver.
10.
What are gas prices like in Iceland?
The price for fuel in Iceland is high and tends to peak during the summer months.
For example, during August 2021 the price of gas in Iceland was 225.8 ISK per liter ($1.75 USD). That’s nearly $7 USD per gallon, so keep the high gas prices in mind when planning your trip!
