Car Hire in Iceland

Thanks to Enterprise's extensive choice of rental vehicles, you can travel around Iceland with ease. If you're heading for Reykjavik attractions, such as the Harpa concert hall or the many museums of Viking history, you might pick an intermediate or standard saloon for a good blend of fuel-efficiency, space, and refinement. However, if you're heading into some of the more rural areas, perhaps to view the massive Vatnajökull glacier, an SUV with four-wheel-drive will help you keep a sure footing on Icelandic secondary roads.

Almost all visitors to Iceland arrive by air, so it's a real boost to know that Enterprise is ready and waiting to help at Keflavik Airport. You can arrange your car hire in Iceland easily and without fuss, and conveniently pick up your car as soon as you arrive at the airport. Enterprise's airport branch location is easy to access and quick to find, and their staff is always on hand to help you get on with your journey and provide a friendly Icelandic welcome.

Although Iceland isn't always the cheapest place to visit, one particular area that you'll find great value is your car hire from Enterprise. It's always a good idea to book your vehicle rental online and in advance, as it's the best way to be certain you're getting the lowest possible car hire rate. With Enterprise's highly competitive rates, as well as special weekend promotions that can save you even more money, a car rental in Iceland can help get your adventure in this thrilling country off to a great start.

Iceland is a country where you'll really need a vehicle to help you explore, as many of its most interesting places are only accessible by car. There's plenty to keep you occupied in Reykjavik itself, such as the Saga Museum, where you can explore its many displays of distinctive literary art. It's also well worth visiting the Icelandic Punk Museum, which celebrates Scandinavia's contribution to the genre of punk music. However, if you head out on the "Ring Road", formally known as Route 1, you'll quickly discover so much more, including the Blue Lagoon thermal springs, the Skógafoss waterfall, and the amazing boiling mud pits at Hverir.

Iceland has some unusual driving rules. Speed limits are low, at most 90 km/h and much lower in towns. Most of the "Ring Road" is fully surfaced, apart from some stretches in the far east. However, mountain roads are often just gravel and unsuitable for most cars, and off-road driving is illegal. You must keep your vehicle's lights on, both day and night. Keep a close watch as you approach bridges, as many are only one-car wide. Be cautious of weather conditions, as Iceland's climate can be harsh. Parking in Reykjavik is zoned, and you can save a lot by parking farther out.

When you're visiting a country as incredible as Iceland, you'll need equally extraordinary service from your car rental company, which is where Enterprise comes in. As the world's largest rental company, Enterprise will take special care of you throughout your stay in the country. Enterprise's staff is especially proud of their reputation when it comes to going the extra mile. Whether it's a free vehicle pick-up, the ability to book a one-way car hire, or the simplicity of adding extra add-ons, such as child seats or GPS navigation systems, you'll always be in good hands with Enterprise.
