Economy & City Car Rentals

COMPACT, SUBCOMPACT, SEDAN AND ECONOMY & CITY CARS. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

As you may find a mix of the following terms on our website, at Reykjavik Cars we want to make this process as straightforward as possible, so coming up is a detailed explanation of each one:

• Sedan: any rental vehicle with the engine, passengers, and cargo separated into 3 different compartments.
  
  
• Economy & City Cars: small sedan ideal for driving around Reykjavik, Keflavik, and other urban areas. They usually have 2 doors and seat up to 4 adults. An excellent choice for young couples and families on a budget.
   
• Compact: Slightly larger than economy cars, this sedan is ideal for discovering the cities of the Land of Fire and Ice. They typically have 4 doors and seat up to 5 adults. A great choice for day trips and touring the island as a family.
  
  
• Subcompact: small sedan similar in size to economy & city car rentals, but not as big or safe as compact cars and not as efficient in terms of fuel consumption.
  
  

WHY RENT AN ECONOMY CAR IN ICELAND?

• Limited Public Transport. Iceland’s road network is second to none and public transport is limited to the main cities, which makes it just perfect for hiring an economy car rental. Prepare your travel itinerary, set your destination and cruise down the Diamond Circle in your city car rental!
  
  
• Stick to your budget. Economy car rentals in Iceland are the most affordable way to discover the Land of Fire and Ice. Get behind the wheel of one of our city cars for as little as $51 per day. If you want to spend more on your Iceland vacation and less on your car rental, this is the right small car hire for you!
  
  
• Go where you want, when you want. There is so much to see and so many places to visit in Iceland that, even without venturing down the F-roads, you’ll still be in for the adventure of a lifetime. Tours and day trips are great, but they are also costly. Go where you please with your own small economy & city car rental!

DO’S AND DON’TS OF RENTING A SMALL CAR IN ICELAND

If you’re thinking about journeying to the more inaccessible points of the island, such as the Icelandic Highlands, you’ll need a 4WD vehicle. DO NOT attempt driving on the F-roads unless you decide to hire a 4x4 vehicle, the weather is good and they are officially open. Cutting across the countryside is also illegal and punishable, so whatever you do, stick to the main roads.

Finally, to make sure everything runs smoothly and your trip has a happy ending, keep your lights and seatbelt on at all times, and only use your phone if you have a hands-free kit!

You’re now more than ready to begin your Iceland road trip, so rev up the engine and hit the gas!
