Top tips for hiring a car in Reykjavik

  • Looking to rent a car during your time in Reykjavik? For travelers landing at Keflavik International Airport, the hire car counters can be found in the Arrival Hall of the airport’s main terminal. If you are arriving in Reykjavik Airport on a domestic flight, you will find the Europcar hire desk on the west side of the airport and the Hertz hire desk on the east side of the airport.
  • Travelers should be aware that many of the tunnels and bridges in Iceland are one way and the right of way is given to whoever arrives first. This is particularly important because these bridges and tunnels tend to be quite narrow, and nobody wants to have to back up on a tiny bridge.
  • One of the major advantages of renting a car in Reykjavik is that it truly enables you to visit any part of the country. Many wonderful sites and natural wonders are easily accessible on a day trip from Reykjavik such as the Blue Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, and Kirkjufjara Beach. However, make sure to keep an eye on your fuel tank, as petrol stations are sparse in Iceland.
  • Despite its relatively small size, Reykjavik still experiences the typical morning rush hour from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and evening rush hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, drivers will be happy to hear that the congestion is by no means severe, so, besides a few of the downtown streets backing up, there isn’t too much to worry about.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Reykjavik for R1 362 or less
  • Book your car hire in Reykjavik at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate car hire in Reykjavik are around 10% cheaper than other car types, on average

The guy at the counter both times we rented was HORRIBLE. We will never rent from there again. Couldn’t understand him, he was condescending, and made up charges to charge us more for every little thing and acted like it was our fault for not picking all these things that ARE NOT on the web form. When we had issues we couldn’t reach the location by phone to get help. Sixt is AWFUL in Reykjavik.

The price they quote is essentially not real. They upsell you hard at the airport after you've made the reservation. They also basically tricked us into adding an additional driver because my wife's name was on the cc. Even though they admitted I was the one on the account and only needed my signature and proof of insurance. They also charged a prime location fee!! Like it's a privilege to pick up a rental car at an airport. There price here also doesn't include full mileage. And the additional cost to get unlimited mileage was basically double what they quoted to rent the car in the first place. (Quote~$350, Unlimited miles~$316). The cost is not the frustrating thing. It's the dishonesty and the tricks they pull. Just tell me what it costs from the get go. Don't give me the bait and switch nonsense. And basically make up stuff and play tricks to nickel and dime me after I made a reservation. Ultimately I think Kayak should know their antics. Because they're using the site to promote fake rates to get people in the door. Knowing nobody is going to start shopping around for other rental cars after at the airport coming from an international flight.

The car was fine. And there was a car ready when we got there. But other than that we were pretty disappointed. The guy at the counter tried to upsell us on everything, he was purposely obscure. on the website when we ordered it told us the mileage was unlimited but he said that we had only paid for like 500 km and had to pay more to get unlimited. We also chose times on the webpage to match our flights for pick up and drop off but he said that everything was marked as noon and wanted to charge us an extra day. we were seriously disappointed. Then when we were done, we realize that we were going to be turning the car in before they opened in the morning but the number he gave us to contact them was corporate and we couldn’t get through. We literally had to drive back to the rental car company a day early to find out if we could return it the following day prior to business hours. going to Reykjavík, use Budget, Hertz or Avis because they’re actually inside the airport. I have never used any of those three at the airport so I am not saying the service will be any better, but at least you will not have to walk back to the airport once you turn your rental car in in the freezing rain.

I tried to change pickup location to a location they claim to have on their website, but they said no. I then asked them to cancel the reservation, which they said they’d do, but did t. I ended up having to rent another car at another rental place (located in Reykjavik and absorb the $130 cost. From the Sixt reservation. I never actually picked up or used the car, but I did pay for it. 😩

I liked the pick up at the hotel. The car drove fine.

Cons:

The quote that I received on Kayak was about $20 less than when I went to pick up the car. I declined any extra insurance. I spoke with Hertz rental and they said the the Iceland office was an independent office and would check with them. They basically said that that was the price and here is your invoice of what you paid. It seems that there is nothing that I can do about this. I work in the airline industry and will not recommend Kayak, unless this is rectified.

Cons:

We were a party of 6 adults with 6 pieces of large luggage and 6 pieces of small luggage. We requested, had a confirmation and paid for a Toyota Sienna van with room for 7 adults and lots of luggage, but received a Citroen Picasso with room for 6 adults and no luggage. There was nothing else available at pick up and there was nothing they could do to make it better. Would not provide a roof rack unless we paid for the rental of it. We were therefore extremely crowded and uncomfortable for the entire time of the rental. The rental location was very hard to find as it was not at the airport as expected, where all the other rental companies were located. Would never rent from them again.

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff were friendly and easy to communicate with. Insurance was offered at a reasonable rate.

Cons:

Rental was actually through Fair Car, not Economy Rent a Car. While somewhat cheaper than other large car options, we still paid a lot for a car that was a tight squeeze for five people and our luggage. We changed the pick up by only a few hours, which led to a noticeable change in price. After it was all said and done, the car was almost $200 more than expected. It looks like we were originally quoted a price in euros, not US dollars and local taxes were omitted.

KAYAK

Pros:

Cheap and fair.

Cons:

We were not informed that the Iceland Economy Car Rental company does a "pick up service" since their building is not in the airport. This meant we were not looking for the driver when we landed and missed him. This created great confusion as we did not have cell service there to contact the company and had to find airport help.

Pick up arrived 1.5 hours late. I was charged 30% more than announced and the car was in very poor condition. Was forced to accept the deal unless I would be willing to be left in the middle of nowhere (rental office) at 10 pm with my family after a 24 hour trip. Worst experience ever.

The shuttle was supposed to pick our party of 5 up at Keflavík Airport but when we arrived they would only shuttle one of us to the rental facility so I had to go by myself then go back to the airport and pick the rest of my family up. The facility appears to be in a car junk yard. The car pick up process took a long time, the staff was rude to everyone waiting there, and they put a hold on my credit card of over $3k on top of the cost of the rental and insurance. I thought I was signing for the cost of the rental and insurance because I did not understand the conversation rate. The hold was never verbally explained to me. The car was clean but run down, dented and rusty. Luckily I took video of the exterior and interior before I got in because when I dropped it off they were going to charge me for a dent in the door until I showed them my video… even though when I picked the car up they assured me that they took enough pictures. I also heard them on the phone with another customer who’s rental died at a waterfall. They basically blamed it on the customer and told them to call roadside assistance and hung up on them. Renters beware!

The car was filthy with black/ oily grime on steering wheel and all buttons, the tires were low in air so we had to constantly find gas station to fill them, the car was dented and with broken light covers. Ended having to pay for daily insurance which doubled the rental cost.could have found a better car for the same price elsewhere. Pick up and drop off was convenient

Rented a car at a Downtown facility asked her to the airport as intended. When I attempted to change it to the airport facility, I was charged over $200 for a cancellation fee. I’ll dispute a charge and I’ll never use the service again.

Cons:

When we arrived they informed us that they didn't have the size vehicle that we booked, which was unfortunate because we had 7 people with luggage. The most that they could offer us for the inconvenience was the option to book another car at full price. The man was very short with us and repeatedly said that it wasn't his fault, rather that it was Kayak's fault and that he didn't need to accommodate us. Thankfully our friend had already booked a car with another company and allowed several of us to go with him, but our group was split up.

Not enough people working. Long times to pick up car. Scare tactics to try and add 4 extra insurances to your rental (i.e. Ash protection) horrible basic car- automatic but shifted like a manual.
