• Should I hire a car in Iceland?

  Hiring a car in Iceland offers the freedom to explore the country’s unique landscapes in your own way and on your own schedule. Iceland’s well-maintained roads will lead you to famous attractions like the Golden Circle, Studlagil Canyon and Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. As a bonus, hiring a car is often more convenient and cost-effective than other transport options like taxis or even buses. Moreover, some of Iceland’s most stunning locations, such as remote waterfalls and canyons, are only easily accessible by car. So, if you value flexibility and accessibility, hiring a car may be the ideal way to enhance your Icelandic adventure.

• What is driving like in Iceland?

  Driving in Iceland is an adventure, offering breathtaking views around every bend. The country only has one toll road to be aware of – the Vadlaheidargong tunnel. Road quality varies, but you’ll generally find well-maintained roads in populated areas. In remote areas like the Westfjords and the Highland roads, the ride can be bumpy due to poor road conditions. It’s best to inform your car hire agency of your itinerary and check travel advisories before heading off into remote areas.

• How old do you have to be to hire a car in Iceland?

  The minimum age to hire a car is typically 20 in Iceland, but for larger vehicles like 4x4s or vans, the minimum age is generally 23. For some smaller vehicles, the minimum age can be as low as 18, but this differs from agency to agency, so you should always confirm that you meet the age requirements before booking. Also, keep in mind that drivers under 25 may face a young driver fee. Regardless of age, you’ll need a valid driver’s licence that you’ve held for at least one year. If your licence is not in English or Roman script, an International Driving Permit may be necessary. Always check with the hire company for specific requirements and potential surcharges.
