Top tips for hiring a car at Reykjavik Domestic airport
- Renting a car in Iceland allows you to plan a road trip that fits your budget and schedule. A car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport gives you the freedom you need to explore a country with countless natural gems. To have your ride ready as soon as you arrive at Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV), reserve a vehicle via KAYAK, where you can compare prices offered by various car rental firms. Take advantage of our search tools to save time and select your preferred method of payment, fuel policy, and mileage in advance.
- Before making any reservation, consider the road you will be driving on from highland, gravel, and asphalt road. The car rental agents are very much willing to advise you on the choice of ride. For instance, a robust 4x4 or 4WD comes highly recommended for road trips in the highlands. An SUV would also be a great option for off-road adventures into the Vatnsnes Peninsula and West Fjords. In contrast, a smaller 2WD is ideal for cruising the main roads in Iceland, such as Reykjanes Peninsula drive. Don’t forget the amount of space your luggage will occupy when selecting a small compact car.
- After booking through KAYAK, you will get an email confirming where to collect keys for your Reykjavik Domestic Airport car rental. Carefully peruse those details to get an idea of where to get the car before flying into RKV Airport. Once arrived, check the car exterior and interior to record any damage and inform the rental agency. Take your time to understand the fuel policy, and where necessary, fill the tank before setting off to other Iceland destinations.
- Dropping off your car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport should be a stress-free experience with the return areas located right in front of the terminal’s arrival hall. Sometimes, the return areas are in different car parks from where you picked, but near the airport. All the information you need to know about drop-off centers should be in your confirmation email or the car rental T&C. For further direction, ask the customer representatives at the key collection desks.
- Book your car hire at Reykjavik Domestic airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about hiring a car at Reykjavik Domestic airport
How will I pay for fuel when I rent a car at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?
The full-to-full option is one of the most preferred fuel policies by renters because the driver is sure to pay for the exact amount of fuel consumed. Then there is the full-to-empty option whereby you take a car with a full tank and return it empty. Here, the car rental supplier fills up the tank and charges you separately from local petrol stations.
What services attract an extra charge for car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?
A few additional services can cost you more when you rent a car at RKV Airport. These include a navigation system (if it is not originally built into the car). If you have an extra driver, the rental rate may be a little higher. Also, the age of the driver matters—a supplement for a younger driver could mean an extra cost. Examine the terms and conditions to see whether you need to get insurance for underbody, roof, glass, and tires. Renting a car doesn’t mean you have to be careless on the road because you can be penalized for speeding and parking in the wrong places. The rental company will forward the fines to you to recover the expenses.
Are the car rental locations always within the RVK Airport building?
Five car supplies have their rental desks inside the arrivals hall: Avis, Route 1, Suprice, Budget, and Ice Rental cars. Others like Hertz and Fair Car rentals are a short drive away from the terminal. You can request a shuttle service to take you there.
Which car hire companies will pick you up at Reykjavik Domestic airport?
Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Reykjavik Domestic airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Geysir Car Rental, Global Rent A Car, Hertz, PROCAR , Sixt, and Thrifty.

The car was garbage. Super uncomfortable, lots of really weird design decisions, awkward shifting in automatic mode (the whole car lurched when shifting gears), and it smelled bad.10,0 Wonderful

The rental system needs to be cleaner, having an individual walk out to the car is rather slow since then you loose a agent and leave people waiting way to long (we waited an hour and a half.5,6 Fair

Pros:
comfortable ford focus. they have a free shuttle service from their main location.Cons:
the car had mechanical problems almost immediately which got worse over the trip and eventually had to be towed and replaced. We had to press to get a day refunded which they did eventually. it was a dangerous situation on a brand new car. Lucky I wasn't hit. they did rectify it fairly promptly.10,0 Wonderful
Nov 2016
Pros:
They were extremely helpful and accommodating after I locked my keyless fob in the car at 5am on the way to the airport with my suitcase in the trunk. They went out of their way to try to find the best and cheapest way to ship it to my next location and then when it turned out I wasn't able to ship it without taking some things out of the suitcase they agreed to hold it for me free of charge since I was flying back through Iceland and asked which of their locations would be the most convenient for me. They always responded quickly and were very fair with their charges.Budget

Pros:
Great car, awesome drop-off experience. Attentive employees who knew what they were doing.Cons:
The pickup still took more than 1.5 hours, even though I had reserved/booked in advance, which made me miss my hotel check-out time. One unfortunate employee was left to deal with a long line of customers who hadn't booked in advance, further penalizing those who had planned ahead.8,0 Very Good
