Important information about Keflavik car hire

A trip to the historic town of Keflavik in the southwestern region of Iceland would almost be incomplete if you didn’t stop by some of the interesting museums in the town. Places like the Viking World Museum, The Icelandic Museum of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Reykjanes Art Museum are what give this little town an identity, so you’ll definitely want to visit them. These places and many more can easily be reached with hired cars in Keflavik, so it is advisable that you at least consider getting one as you plan your trip. With over 5 car hire locations in Keflavik, finding a rental car shouldn’t be an impossible task. If parking is the only thing hindering you from getting one, we’ve got some good news for you. There are a good number of parking lots and garages around town so you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a spot for your rental cars in Keflavik.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Keflavik?

Only a small part of Keflavik is walkable, so it would be in your best interest to get hired cars in Keflavik. Not only are they easily accessible, but they bring a certain element of comfort and flexibility that you just don’t get with public transport. A rental car will help you to navigate the Adalgata and Hringbraut freeways, which are some of the major roads connecting different parts of Keflavik. You can even travel to neighbouring cities, such as Reykjavik, which is only under an hour’s drive from Keflavik via route 41. Traffic isn’t a major concern in Keflavik and there aren’t any places that you can’t realistically get to using a car, which only makes the case for getting Keflavik car rentals. Also, you can have any type of car you want ranging from electric car rentals to people carrier rentals and economy car rentals.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind when driving in Keflavik?

Driving in Keflavik can be a unique experience especially for drivers who aren’t used to the unpredictable weather conditions synonymous with Keflavik. That being said, it is important to keep in mind some of the different driving laws that apply to this town for you to safely navigate the tricky roads with your cheap hired cars in Keflavik. One thing, in particular, to take note of is the speed limits. They are strictly enforced. Different roads in different areas have a set speed limit and there are speed cameras everywhere so you will not be able to get away with speeding on the Keflavik roads. You can always confirm with the Icelandic Ministry of Transport for the latest changes in traffic laws.

What kind of driving license do you need to hire a car in Keflavik?

You must be at least 20 years of age and have held a driving license for 12 months for you to get hired cars in Keflavik. Any licenses issued in the European Economic Area, US, and Canada should be enough to get you a rental car as long as they are valid throughout the rental period. If you’re not from these areas, a license alone will only be enough it has a photo ID, license number and is printed in Latin characters. Otherwise, an international driver’s permit will be required.
