20 Apr - 7 MayIceland is a country with extreme weather, so you need to be careful with your car hire in order to have the best experience. When you rent a car and take to the countryside, weather warnings are not to be ignored and could be crucial to your safety, especially in winter. Stick to the speed limit of 55 mph on highways, 50 mph on rural roads and 30 mph in any cities or small towns and be sure to buckle up in the front and rear of the car. One thing you will notice when you hire a car in Iceland is that roads do not have conventional shoulders to pull over on. You will need to wait until you see a designated area to stop before you get out to snap a pic or take a break. Stopping on the side of the road outside the designated area is very dangerous and against the law throughout much of Iceland. Make sure your petrol tank is always full because you may go quite a distance without seeing a place to fill up. Keep your distance from the car in front of you in case you skid on the ice, and speak to your car rental company about add-ons such as Sat Nav and car seats for children if need be.
Car rental in Iceland will not require an International Driving Permit if you are coming over from the UK. You can use your UK or EU license for rental cars as long as you have been driving for longer than a year. Make sure you bring along your passport, credit card and any other documentation you supplied if you made an online booking.
Iceland’s tourism market has grown quite substantially in recent years, which has led to an increase in traffic congestion, notably around the world-famous Ring Road, which is a scenic route around the country popular for road trips. There are parts of the Ring Road that show high traffic congestion from time to time, mostly due to bad tourist driving and lack of understanding of the no stopping rule. Other roads that show congestion problems include the Hellisheiði road in south Iceland which connects the capital of Reykjavík to Hveragerði as well as Iceland’s south coast. Another busy road for traffic is the Víkurskarð road which runs between Húsavík and Akureyri in North Iceland.
Iceland, as seen on a road trip in a rental car, is an unforgettable adventure. The Ring Road is the most popular scenic route in the country and stretches for a very long area in a circle around the island. If you decide to complete the whole Ring Road in your car hire, it would be best experienced in shorter bursts to allow for stops and exploration along the way. There are many other shorter trips that you can enjoy too such as the Kjölur Highland Road which requires a 4x4 rental car and runs through remote countryside. It covers volcanic landscape through the centre of the island with the Langjökull and Hofsjökull glaciers along the way. The Golden Circle is about a day’s drive that starts from Reykjavik and covers quite long distance of beautiful Icelandic landmarks in a short period of time. Getting the best car rental comparison is easy in Iceland, putting you in the driver's seat of your adventure.

People drive on the right in Iceland. If you are travelling to Iceland from a country that drives on the opposite side of the road, then this may take some getting used to, especially if you intend to hire a car during your stay.
Out of 137 countries, Iceland ranked 38 for road quality. On a scale of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, Iceland scored 4.8 for their road quality. The quality of the roads within the country may vary based on where you visit and the weather.
The BAC limit is 2.38 mg/l in Iceland - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 2.38 mg/l is against the law in Iceland and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. Be aware that 20 is the legal drinking age in Iceland, and there are strict laws that prohibit drivers under this age from drink driving.

Among different countries, including Iceland, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.
To rent a car in Iceland, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific rental company you're booking with.
