KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Keflavik

  • Located southwest of Iceland, Keflavik, whose name means 'Driftwood Bay,' is a town best-known for top tourist attractions such as the Icelandic Museum of Rock' n' Roll, traditional turf houses, the "Viking World" Duus museums and more. While there are lava fields and volcanoes in the Icelandic scenery, the coastline of Keflavik is a must-visit spot for extensive views of the city. You might think you need snow tires to drive in Keflavik, but not strictly. However, from the 1st of November until the 15th, all cheap car rentals in Keflavik are equipped with studded winter tires to help on icy roads during extreme conditions.
  • Mother Nature in Iceland can be unrelenting. Still, it makes driving Keflavik car rentals to the Golden Circle, Kerid Crater and Blue Lagoon worthwhile. What better way to spend an evening than relaxing in the natural hot water at the UNESCO-recognized Blue Lagoon? After visiting the historic site of Thingvellir National Park, you can take a three-and-a-half-hour drive to the Golden circle while stopping by Hveragerdi town, Kerid Volcano Crater, and Skalholt Cathedral. If you visit Keflavik in the summer, rent a 4x4 off-road vehicle, drive four hours to the West Fjords waterfalls, and enjoy great hiking trails and hot springs.
  • Even though most people prefer to walk or cycle within the capital, Reykjavik, the only way to Iceland's impressive attractions, such as its glaciers, volcanoes, and hot springs, is by hiring cheap car rentals in Keflavik. A vehicle gives you the freedom and flexibility to hunt for the Northern Lights in winter and explore the remote Highlands locations at your convenience in summer. Note that most cars like four-wheel drive, an SUV or trucks are manual though you can rent an automatic vehicle too. Additionally, driving in Iceland is done on the right side of the road though it's not uncommon to see locals driving at the center of the lane during winter due to limited visibility.
  • When coming to the remote town of Keflavik, renting a car is definitely a must; Iceland is a popular destination for road trips and public transport is not well-established in this secluded corner of the world. Get the most out of your island experience and hire your own four wheels upon arrival at Keflavik to explore the stunningly untouched landscape of Iceland. You can also visit Reykjavik, which is about 50 minutes away, and probably even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
  • When landing at Keflavik International Airport, head to the car rental service desks in the arrivals hall and choose from companies like Avis or Hertz, among some others. With a car, the ride to central Reykjanesbaer (which is the municipality made up of Keflavik, Njarovik, and Hafnir) will only take 5 minutes, whereas public transport or walking will take half an hour.
  • Traffic jams are unlikely to be encountered during a trip to Iceland, even though most Icelandic people own a car, as there is little to no public transport available. One of the worst mistakes to commit in Iceland when driving a car is leaving the road and driving into a field or any strip of nature. Fines can be exorbitantly high, as the Icelandic people are very fierce when it comes to protecting the nature of their island, so always stick to the roads that stretch across the entire island and make exploring it an easy and enjoyable undertaking.
  • Iceland is particularly famous for the Northern Lights, but, when driving through the countryside or Keflavik, don’t get distracted by this extraordinary nature spectacle. Many accidents in Iceland happen because tourists stop their car in the middle of the road to take pictures of the scenic pastures or Northern Lights. Especially as long strips of roads are not well-lit, this is a dangerous undertaking that should be avoided. Find a proper parking spot, park the car, and enjoy the phenomenon safely.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Keflavik for C$ 58 or less
  • Book your rental car in Keflavik at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Keflavik are around 12% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Intermediate rental cars in Keflavik are around -7% cheaper than other car types, on average

Verified travelerOct. 2023
Give yourself plenty of time. Buy the highest insurance as the roads are not all paved, and the weather can be harsh.
Verified travelerJul. 2023
If able, rent a automatic transmission instead of manual gear. There are lots of round-above with-in city limit and around the country, so you need to know how to pass them safely. Some of the bridge is a narrow and needs to yield the om-coming cars from the other side. If possible, don't drive on any gravel roads as it may puncture your tires.

Driving is fairly easy if you know how to use a traffic circle and how to drive a manual.

FAQs about renting a car in Keflavik

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Keflavik?

    Travelers who want to explore the more rural parts of the country during their trip to Keflavik should definitely opt for a car with 4-wheel drive, like an SUV or mini truck. If driving mainly in the town or also venturing into Reykjavik, a smaller city car is also sufficient, as it is also cheaper and needs less gas.

  • What’s the speed limit in Keflavik?

    All speed limit signs in Iceland are given in km/h. Generally, 50 km/h (31 mph) is permitted in urban areas, 80 km/h (49 mph) on dirt roads, and up to 90 km/h (55 mph) on paved country roads. Even though hardly any road has a speed limit of more than 90 km/h, it is allowed to drive up to 100 km/h (62 mph) if deemed safe. However, the open landscape and empty roads can tempt many to race, which can lead to fines.

  • Where are the best places to park in Keflavik?

    Parking is free almost everywhere in Iceland unless there is a meter. Some parking spots in Keflavik have time restrictions, so always check signs in the vicinity to make sure there won’t be a ticket on the windshield when you get back.

The website said open 24 hours. I got to airport desk at 2:00 AM and it was closed. There was a sign with a phone number...I called and it said the number was not in service. I found another international phone number online...that also was not in service. There was no one at the airport information desk. I was only in Iceland for the day and that is why I needed to pick up the car as soon as I landed. So the car was useless to me and I never picked it up. I need a refund

Very easy process, staff was attentive and welcoming. Car was nice, no issues.

Cons:

My only complaint was that I feel I was upsold how 'Iceland is different from other countries so the insurance is more worthwhile here.' I came in November and other then some rain and higher winds, I really didn't think the weather was all that special. I didn't encounter any gravel roads going to the main sites along the southern coast and their certainly wasn't need for the wind and ash insurance. Now certainly these things happen, of course, and it's good to be aware, but I felt like the way everyone was talking about the weather I would be stupid not to take it, yet the changes were really not that different from my home country. So maybe I would amend the shtick on insurance to 'useful if you only drive in sunny weather' or something similar.

Cons:

The check in to get your car was painfully long. After waiting a long time for the rental car shuttle to load up with folks ~ 20 minutes we were off to the rental car drop offs. Once we arrived there we waited around another 40 minutes to get our RAV4. The car GPS couldn't find sites to see by name. I plugged them into my Google Maps and it had no issue finished where we needed to go.

There is NO WAY to fit 4 normal sizes suitcases in the boot as the description states. We had to stack 3 up in the back and put one in the back seat between passengers. This was uncomfortable and unsafe. There was no view out the back window. I think it should be made clear that it will take 2 suitcases and another couple small bags.

The first car that was offered had a very bald tyre. We were given another car,which was fine. The staff at the office were lovely, and very helpful. The man who was to shuttle us from the airport was extremely rude. He would only take the driver, leaving us at the airport without any communication to our driver. On returning our car,the staff were very kind. Seems that your shuttle drivers leave A LOT to be desired though. This was our welcome to iceland.

Pros:

We liked that they gave us a hybrid car and we were able to save on fuel costs.

Cons:

Staff at pick-up was not particularly friendly or helpful.

Sep. 2018

KAYAK

Pros:

The interaction I had with Europacar staff both at pick-up and return was first rate. Both were pleasant, professional without any intent to hassle or nitpick. Or that I felt pressured to add something I did not want to add. The car was new, clean, comfortable in excellent working order. I highly commend Europacar for their excellent, professional and I might add nice staff with excellent English speaking skills.

Cons:

The cost which was not excessive by Icelandic standards but far more expensive than my home country. This of course is not a criticism of Europacar but a function of the reality of car rental/hire in Iceland. The cost to return the car at the Eastern end of Iceland doubled the cost.

KAYAK

Pros:

Relatively new van, ran great, and the custom shelving was quite handy, especially the pull out cutting board table. Plenty of room for 2. Friendly crew.

Cons:

It was a panel van so with the custom shelving there is zero visibility of whats behind you or in your side blind spots. Outside of the city you can get by but be prepared to have your passenger on the lookout for you. With the new law / rule you need to park at camping sites and pay the fee, so seems to defeat the point of the camper van.

Pros:

Far better service than the Budget office next door (at Reykjavik/KEF), which is what we used last time. Fast, friendly, helpful, and no-nonsense. The car was in great condition, and met our needs perfectly.

Pros:

First vehicle I was given had a flat tire light on - but it was immediately replaced with a nicer vehicle when I pointed it out. Vehicle rental overall was great. On returning, there had been some minor issues (chips due to gravel roads) that I reported and this was handled very smoothly and professionally by the team.

Cons:

Since this rental was in Iceland I would have loved the option to get a larger 4x4 vehicle. However, this was not available for 7 passengers! Overall, very good though.

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and professional.

Cons:

I had expected a slightly higher quality car. The various categories/tiers made it difficult to honestly assess value. For example, we selected a "VW Golf or similar" and ended up with a Kia. I do not consider the Kia similar given we did not select the economy category.

The initial car had very worn tires, so they gave us a free upgrade. The pickup of car was a little slow (waited 20 min for them to get to airport and had to deal with car change), but I've had worse with larger on-airport car rentals. Make sure that you have the number to call when getting to the airport so they know you've arrived.

AddCar left us stranded at the airport. We waited for 2 hours until we had to walk out of the airport to search for a car with my 92-year old grandmother. The unresponsive agency ruined our brief visit to Iceland.

The only really negative thing was the long wait at dropoff, so just make sure you give yourself plenty of time. We got there 3 hours before our flight and didn't get to the airport until 2 hours (we were at the dropoff for about 45 min and the shuttle loading and drive took another 15). Otherwise, the car was fine (clearly had been used a lot - and the clutch SUCKED), it ran well. It got good gas mileage. We only filled up twice (from 1/4 tank each time) in 8 days of travelling all over south and east Iceland)!
