Why hire a car in Iceland?
Public transport in Iceland is limited, and the best way to explore this stunning country is with a hire car. With your own vehicle, you’ll have complete freedom to travel at your own pace, stopping whenever you like to take in breathtaking landscapes, hidden waterfalls, and untouched nature.
A rental car also allows you to experience Iceland beyond Reykjavik. Drive the Golden Circle, where you’ll witness the geysers of Haukadalur, the stunning Gullfoss waterfall, and the Þingvellir National Park. Travel along the Ring Road, a route that takes you to the black sand beaches of Vik, the massive glaciers of Vatnajökull National Park, and the dramatic fjords of the East Coast.
For those seeking adventure, hiring a 4x4 vehicle gives you access to Iceland’s highlands, where you can explore volcanic craters, hot springs, and lava fields far from the crowds. In winter, a rental car is the perfect way to chase the Northern Lights, giving you the flexibility to escape the city lights and find the best viewing spots.
