Anmeldelse af Round Car Rental
Jeg var ikke super tilfreds med bilen. For det første var det ikke en Hyundai, men en Mazda. Bilen havde flere fejl, som gjorde oplevelsen irriterende. Bilens advarselslampe bippede hvert 15 minut, og fortalte, at der var en fejl i servostyringen. Derudover peb bremserne rigtig meget, og hattehylden bagtil var knækket. Jeg synes ikke bilen var pengene værd. Derudover havde jeg ikke medbragt kreditkort, eftersom at bilen var betalt hjemmefra. Det viste sig at skulle koste 1700DKK ekstra, for en ligegyldig forsikring, som min rejseforsikring allerede dækkede……

Bilklasser
På Island er der flere typer af biler til rådighed, der passer til forskellige behov og budgetter. Nogle af de mest almindelige biltyper i Island er:
-
Økonomibiler: Disse er de mindste og mest prisvenlige biler til rådighed, velegnet til bykørsel og korte ture.
-
SUV'er og 4x4-køretøjer: Disse er firehjulstrukne køretøjer, der tilbyder ekstra plads og komfort til passagerer og er ideelle til kørsel på ujævnt terræn og under vinterforhold.
-
Campervans: Disse er køretøjer, der er udstyret med en seng, tekøkken og opbevaringsplads, så rejsende kan campere og udforske landet i deres eget tempo.
-
Luksusbiler: Disse er avancerede køretøjer, der tilbyder maksimal komfort, stil og ydeevne, velegnet til særlige lejligheder og luksusrejser.
Når du lejer en bil i Island, er det vigtigt at overveje faktorer såsom antallet af passagerer, turens længde, typen af veje, du skal køre på, årstiden og vejrforholdene. Sørg for at vælge en bil, der opfylder dine behov og passer til dit budget.
Hvor i Island kan du leje en bil?
De fleste rejsende lejer en bil i Keflaviks internationale lufthavn, som erIslands vigtigste indgangssted. Keflavik ligger ca. 40 minutter fra Reykjavik og tilbyder afhentning og aflevering døgnet rundt, hvilket sikrer bekvemmelighed, uanset hvornår dit fly ankommer eller afgår. Hvis du lejer i lufthavnen, kan du begynde din rejse med det samme uden yderligere transport.
Det er også muligt at leje en bil i Reykjavik, Islands hovedstad og et populært udgangspunkt for at udforske landet. Rejsende kan leje bilen i Keflavik og aflevere den i Reykjavik eller omvendt, men der kan være ekstra gebyrer for denne service.
For dem, der vover sig ud over det sydvestlige, tilbydes der biludlejning i vigtige byer som Akureyri i nord, Egilsstadir i øst og Höfn i sydøst. Man kan også leje biler i regioner som Vestmanna-øerne, Vestfjordene og Snæfellsnes-halvøen. Mulighederne uden for Reykjavik og Keflavik er dog mere begrænsede med færre bureauer og køretøjstyper.
Afhentning af lejebil i Island
Det er nemt at afhente din udlejningsbil i Island, og du kan vælge mellem flere steder alt efter dine rejseplaner.
De fleste rejsende henter deres udlejningsbiler i Keflaviks internationale lufthavn (KEF), hvor nogle få biludlejningsfirmaer har skranker i terminalen. De fleste udlejningsfirmaer ligger dog kun et par hundrede meter fra lufthavnen og tilbyder gratis shuttle-service til deres kontorer eller skranker. Afhentningsstederne er praktisk markeret uden for ankomsthallen.
For dem, der starter deres rejse i hovedstaden, har Reykjavik også flere biludlejningssteder, hvilket gør det nemt at udforske Island uden straks at leje i lufthavnen.
Rejsende, der udforsker andre dele af Island, såsom Akureyri, Egilsstadir eller Vestfjordene, vil også finde udlejningsmuligheder, selvom tilgængeligheden kan være mere begrænset uden for de store knudepunkter. Hvis man booker på forhånd, får man det bedste udvalg og de bedste priser, især i højsæsonen.
Regler og bestemmelser for kørsel i Island
Dét at køre i Island kan være en unik og spændende oplevelse, men det kræver også omhyggelig forberedelse og opmærksomhed på sikkerheden. Uanset om du skal på sightseeing på sydkysten eller udforske fjerntliggende områder, vil det hjælpe dig til at få en sikker og mindeværdig rejse, hvis du forstår, hvad der er vigtigt ved at køre i Island. Her er, hvad du har brug for at vide.
Krav til biludlejning i Island
For at leje en bil i Island skal du:
- Have haft et gyldigt kørekort i mindst ét år.
- Være mindst 23 år gammel for at leje en 4x4 eller minibus.
- Medbring et internationalt kørekort, hvis dit kørekort ikke er skrevet med latinske bogstaver.
Hastighedsgrænser i Island
Hastighedsgrænserne i Island håndhæves strengt:
- 90 km/t på asfalterede landeveje.
- 80 km/t på grusveje.
- 50 km/t i byer.
I visse områder, f.eks. skolezoner, boligkvarterer eller nær byggepladser, kan hastighedsgrænsen være lavere. Følg altid de skiltede hastighedsgrænser, da de har forrang for generelle regler. Hvis der ikke er nogen synlige skilte, skal du gå ud fra, at grænsen er 50 km/t.
Kørsel på Islands F-veje
Bjergveje, kendt som F-veje, kræver et 4x4-køretøj og er kun åbne om sommeren. Tjek altid vejforholdene på road.is før du begiver dig ud i Islands højland. Vi anbefaler også, at du lægger din rejseplan på safetravel.is for en sikkerheds skyld.
Islands politik omkring offroad-kørsel
Offroad-kørsel er ulovlig i Island på grund af dens ødelæggende indvirkning på det skrøbelige miljø. Disse veje involverer ofte flodkrydsninger, og det er farligt at forsøge sig med dem uden ordentlig forberedelse. Skader på mosdækkede lavamarker tager årtier at genoprette og skaden er nogle gange uoprettelig, og overtrædere risikerer store bøder eller endda fængselsstraf.
Sikkerhedsregler for kørsel i Island
Med den rette forberedelse og opmærksomhed omkring sikker kørsel i Island kan rejsende få en uforglemmelig oplevelse på vejen. Følg disse vigtige regler for at være sikker på din rejse:
- Kør aldrig i påvirket tilstand.
- Brug aldrig mobiltelefon under kørslen.
- Hold dig til de skiltede hastighedsgrænser, da trafikkameraer er almindelige, og bøderne er høje.
- Stop kun for at tage billeder på afmærkede rastepladser for at undgå ulykker.
- Tjek altid vejr- og vejforhold, før du tager af sted.
- Ring 112 i nødstilfælde for at få øjeblikkelig hjælp.
Islands veje kan være smalle, snoede og udsat for kraftig vind, så kør altid forsigtigt. Hav altid forlygterne tændt, og sørg for, at alle passagerer har sikkerhedssele på. Derudover går får frit rundt i landområderne om sommeren, så kør forsigtigt og vær forberedt på at stoppe, hvis de uventet krydser vejen.
Kørsel i det islandske vejr
Kørsel i Island byder på en fantastisk udsigt over gletsjere, vandfald og geotermiske varme kilder, men uforudsigeligt vejr gør forberedelse afgørende. Tjek altid den seneste vejrudsigt på det islandske meteorologiske kontor, før du tager af sted, og tilpas dine planer derefter.
Kørsel om sommeren
Maj til september byder typisk på mildt vejr og ideelle køreforhold i Island. Pludselig regn, tåge eller stærk vind kan dog stadig skabe udfordringer. Længere dagslys gør sommerkørsel lettere, men det er stadig vigtigt at holde øje med de daglige prognoser for uventede ændringer.
Hvis du vil have en stressfri oplevelse, kan du overveje kør-selv-sommerferier i Island, som inkluderer en udlejningsbil, overnatning, valgfrie aktiviteter og en rejseplan, der kan tilpasses.
Kørsel om vinteren
Vinterkørsel kan være en unik og givende oplevelse, men det kræver ekstra forberedelse, især fra december til marts. Snestorme, kraftig vind, tåge og isglatte veje er almindelige, og dagslyset er kortere - ned til fire eller fem timer midt om vinteren. Med den rette forberedelse, herunder vinterdæk og tjek af vejropdateringer, kan du trygt nyde at køre i Island.
For at forenkle planlægningen kan du udforske kør-selv-vinterferier i Island, som indeholder alt, hvad du har brug for til et sikkert og naturskønt eventyr.
Derfor bør du leje en bil i Island
Når du lejer en bil på Island, giver du dig selv friheden til at udforske dette betagende land på dit eget tidspunkt og i dit eget tempo. Kør-selv-ferier og roadtrips i Island, hvor rejsende vælger deres rejseplaner og begiver sig ud for at se Islands utrolige natur på egen hånd, er blevet mere og mere populære. Følgende er nogle af de vigtigste fordele ved at leje en bil i Island:
-
Fleksibilitet: At leje en bil giver dig frihed til at udforske Island i dit eget tempo og besøge steder, der måske ikke er tilgængelige med andre transportmidler.
-
Bekvemmelighed: At leje en bil eliminerer behovet for at stole på offentlig transport eller turbusser, hvilket kan være tidskrævende og restriktivt.
-
Omkostningseffektivitet: Hvis du rejser i en gruppe, kan leje af en bil være mere omkostningseffektivt end andre transportmulig-heder, især hvis du planlægger at besøge flere fjerntliggende steder.
-
Uafhængighed: Leje af en bil giver dig mulighed for at være uafhængig og frit stillet til at lave din egen rejseplan og ændre planer på farten.
-
Naturskønne ruter: Island er berømt for sin betagende natur, og leje af en bil giver dig mulighed for at nyde udsigten i dit eget tempo. Du kan stoppe op og tage billeder eller bare nyde landskabet fra komforten af din bil.
-
Praktisk adgang til fjerntliggende områder: At leje en bil giver dig mulighed for at nå fjerntliggende områder af Island, som ikke er tilgængelige med andre transportmidler.
-
Undgå folkemængder: Hvis du ønsker at undgå overfyldte turistområder, giver leje af en bil dig mulighed for at vove dig væk fra den slagne vej og udforske de mere fjerntliggende områder af Island.
Konklusionen er, at billeje i Island er en bekvem og fleksibel måde at udforske landet på.
Sammenfatning
Alt i alt vil bilister, der er opmærksomme på vejret, vejforholdene og deres egne kørefærdigheder, få en sikker og fornøjelig tid med at køre i Island. Hvis du holder dig orienteret om vejret, vejforholdene og dine egne evner, kan du fuldt ud nyde de betagende landskaber og unikke oplevelser, som Island har at byde på. Sikker kørsel!
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Which cars are best to rent in Iceland?
4x4 vehicles are the best cars to rent in Iceland. They’re the best choice when you need to handle changeable weather, gravel roads, and winter conditions. This type of vehicle is also necessary if you plan to drive in the Highlands. If, on the other hand, you’re visiting Iceland in summer and sticking to the main paved roads, small 2WD cars are usually enough.
Which car rental companies are the best in Iceland?
The best car rental companies in Iceland are MYCAR and Blue Car Rental, based on verified customer reviews on Guide to Iceland. MYCAR has a score of 9.6 out of 10 based on nearly 500 reviews. Blue Car Rental has an average score of 8.8 out of 10 based on more than 1,000 reviews. This reflects consistently good customer experiences and high satisfaction among travelers.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Iceland?
It costs from around USD 300 per week (about USD 40 to 50 per day) to rent a car in Iceland for the cheapest option, and the price increases with vehicle size and during summer. For a one-week rental outside peak season, you can roughly expect the following prices per vehicle type:
- Small economy cars (e.g., Toyota Aygo): from around USD 300 per week, about USD 40 to 50 per day
- Compact 4x4s and SUVs (e.g., Dacia Duster): from around USD 365 per week, about USD 52 per day.
- Campervans (e.g., Nissan NV200): from around USD 445 per week, with the added benefit that you can save on accommodation costs.
The daily rate typically drops the longer you rent, so if you book your whole trip as one continuous rental period, you can keep the per-day price down.

You can read verified reviews from real travelers for each provider, giving you a clear insight into the vehicle’s condition, service quality, and the overall experience.

Do I need an SUV to drive in Iceland?
You don’t need an SUV to drive in Iceland, but it’s recommended for extra safety and flexibility.
If you’re visiting Iceland in summer and plan to stick to the main paved roads, for example around Reykjavik or along the Ring Road, a 2WD car is usually sufficient.
But if you’re traveling in winter, driving on gravel roads, or want to explore more remote areas, a 4x4 vehicle, such as a 4x4 SUV, is a better and safer choice. A 4x4 is also required to drive on F-roads in the Highlands.

Which rental cars are suitable for driving in Iceland’s Highlands?
The most suitable rental cars for driving in Iceland’s Highlands are 4x4 vehicles with good ground clearance, built to handle rough, unpaved mountain roads. However, not all 4x4 vehicles are allowed on F-roads, so it’s important to check whether the car is specifically approved for Highland driving.
If you plan to explore the Highlands, choose a 4x4 SUV, an off-road vehicle, or a campervan that is clearly marked “Yes” under “Highland Capabilities” on our website.
Note that driving a rental car that isn’t approved for the Highlands can void your insurance. In that case, you may be liable for any damage, including to the undercarriage or suspension.

Can I rent campervans in Iceland?
Yes, you can rent campervans in Iceland, and it’s a convenient way to stay at selected campsites around the country. It makes it easy to explore different regions without having to book multiple accommodations. It’s a flexible and budget-friendly option that combines transport and lodging, so you can easily reach Iceland’s natural attractions.
Which types of rental cars are considered luxury cars in Iceland?
Rental cars in Iceland that are considered luxury cars are typically newer models with high comfort and premium features. They’re usually listed under the luxury car rental category. Most have four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and higher ground clearance, so they can better handle gravel roads and snowy conditions. The luxury category can also include some two-wheel-drive cars, such as sports cars and exclusive hatchbacks.
Which type of rental car in Iceland is best for groups of more than 7 people?
The best car rental options in Iceland for groups of more than 7 people are minibuses or 9-seater vans. They offer plenty of space for both passengers and luggage, so everyone can travel comfortably together.
Can you rent hybrid and electric cars in Iceland?
Yes, hybrid and electric cars are widely available to rent in Iceland, including models from Tesla and Toyota. Some of the cars in our luxury category are electric or hybrid vehicles. They’re a great choice for travelers who want a more sustainable and fuel-efficient way to experience the country.
Can I charge an electric rental car while driving around Iceland?
Yes, you can charge electric rental cars in most of Iceland, especially along the Ring Road and in larger towns. Iceland has abundant access to geothermal energy, which supports a growing network of EV charging infrastructure.
You can find charging stations at gas stations and in many parking areas around the country, including in Reykjavik, Akureyri, and smaller coastal towns. Options are more limited in remote areas, so it’s a good idea to plan where you’ll charge in advance.

Can I rent a car in Iceland with an automatic transmission?
Yes, you can rent a car with an automatic transmission in Iceland. There are many options in the economy, 4x4, and luxury categories. An automatic transmission is a practical choice, especially for travelers who aren’t used to Iceland’s road conditions. It’s easier to drive, so the driver can focus more on the road and the changeable weather. To make sure you get an automatic car, read the product description carefully before completing your booking.
Can I rent a car in Iceland with a manual transmission?
Yes, you can absolutely rent a car with a manual transmission in Iceland. They’re widely available, especially in the economy and mid-range categories. Manual cars are often a bit cheaper to rent than automatic cars, which makes them popular with budget-conscious travelers. Remember to check the car’s specifications in the product description before booking, so you’re sure it matches what you want.
Is car rental expensive in Iceland?
Car rental in Iceland can be expensive, especially in peak season. But with Guide to Iceland, you can easily compare offers from many of the country’s largest car rental companies and find the best prices. The cost of car rental in Iceland varies depending on vehicle type and season. Small economy cars are typically the cheapest, while SUVs and luxury cars are more expensive. By comparing options, you ensure you get the best value for your trip.

What is the cheapest way to rent a car in Iceland?
The cheapest way to rent a car in Iceland is to book a small economy car well in advance and travel outside the summer peak season if possible. By comparing prices from different rental companies, you can also find the lowest price. Longer rental periods often reduce the daily rate, so it can pay off to check the total price for different rental lengths before booking.
Which rental cars are the cheapest in Iceland?
Toyota Aygo and similar models are the cheapest rental cars in Iceland. Prices are generally lower in the low season from October to May, and the daily rate typically drops the longer you rent. In summer, prices rise due to higher demand.
Are there promotions or discounts on car rental in Iceland?
Yes, there can sometimes be promotions or discounts on car rental in Iceland depending on demand, season, and availability. Prices often vary throughout the year. The best way to find good deals is to compare options early and book well in advance, especially if you’re traveling in summer. Prices are typically lower outside peak season, and longer rental periods often come with a lower daily rate.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Iceland?
To rent a car in Iceland, the driver must be at least 18 years old and have held a valid driver’s license for at least 12 months. However, some rental companies require the driver to be at least 20, or they may charge a small daily surcharge if the driver is under a certain age. To rent a minibus or a 4×4 in Iceland, the minimum age is typically 23 to 25.
Is there a fee for young or older drivers when renting a car in Iceland?
Yes, there may be a fee for young or older drivers when renting a car in Iceland. Some rental companies charge a young driver fee for drivers aged 25 and under. Similarly, a few companies also charge a fee for older drivers over 70.

The requirements for renting a car in Iceland include a valid driver’s license that you’ve held for at least one year, as well as a credit card in your own name. Most car rental companies in Iceland also require the driver to be at least 20 years old, while some may have higher age limits. It’s also recommended to bring a valid passport. In addition, you’ll need an international driving permit if your license isn’t written in Latin characters (e.g., Russian, Arabic, or Chinese).
Can I drive in Iceland with my foreign driver’s license?
Yes, you can drive in Iceland with a valid foreign driver’s license. However, if your license isn’t written in Latin characters (e.g., Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic), you’ll need an international driving permit (IDP). You must present a physical copy of your license when you pick up your rental car in Iceland, and you must carry it with you at all times.
Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Iceland?
You don’t need an international driving permit to rent a car in Iceland if your license is written in Latin characters (e.g., English). If your license is written in another alphabet (e.g., Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic), it must be accompanied by an international driving permit.
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Iceland?
A valid credit card in the main driver’s name is usually required to rent a car in Iceland. If the main driver doesn’t have a credit card, some rental companies allow an additional driver to be registered. The additional driver must present their own credit card along with a valid driver’s license.
Some providers accept debit cards, but this often comes with extra conditions, such as a higher deposit or mandatory insurance. A credit card is the most reliable and widely accepted payment method.

Make sure your device is updated and compatible with Iceland’s road network before you travel.
Can I use my mobile phone as a GPS when driving a rental car in Iceland?
Yes, you can use your mobile phone for navigation when driving a rental car in Iceland. However, be aware that coverage can be unstable in more remote areas such as the Highlands and some parts of the Westfjords. It’s recommended to download offline maps (Google Maps, Maps.me) before your trip or rent a GPS from the car rental company.
Is there a mileage limit when renting a car in Iceland?
There is usually no mileage limit when you rent a car in Iceland, unless otherwise stated. This gives you the freedom to experience the country without distance restrictions, which is ideal for longer road trips such as driving the Ring Road. Still, it’s always a good idea to read the rental agreement carefully and clarify any questions with the rental company before completing your booking.
Can multiple people drive a rental car in Iceland?

Rental car damages that are not covered by any insurance in Iceland include damage caused by negligence or illegal actions, such as driving through rivers or water crossings or driving off-road, which is strictly prohibited. Damage from strong winds, for example if car doors are blown open, is also often excluded, so extra caution is required in harsh conditions. In addition, damage that occurs while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never covered. Coverage can vary from one rental company to another, so always check the specific terms in your agreement.
Can I use my own car insurance when renting a car in Iceland?
You may be able to use your own car insurance when renting a car in Iceland, but it depends on your policy. Contact your insurance provider to confirm whether rental cars in Iceland are covered. And even if they are, be aware that you will still need to purchase the minimum CDW insurance required by the rental company.
Am I still insured if I drive off-road in Iceland?
No, you are not insured if you drive off-road in Iceland, as it is illegal and voids all rental car insurance coverage. Even if no damage occurs, you may still risk significant fines when you return the car.
Is it difficult to drive in Iceland?
Driving in Iceland is generally easy, especially in summer on main routes like the Ring Road, which is paved, well maintained, and clearly signposted. Traffic is usually light outside Reykjavik, making it easy for most travelers to get around. However, driving can become difficult in winter or in remote areas due to snow, ice, strong winds, reduced visibility, as well as gravel or mountain roads, and some routes may require a 4x4 vehicle. It’s important to check weather and road conditions before setting off.
Which traffic rules in Iceland are different from other countries?
Several traffic rules in Iceland differ from those in other countries, including strict speed limits of 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h on gravel roads, and 90 km/h on paved rural roads.

Are there seasonal conditions or restrictions, such as road closures, that can affect car rentals or driving routes in Iceland?
Yes, there are seasonal conditions and restrictions that can affect driving a rental car in Iceland, such as road closures due to weather. In winter (roughly November to April), some roads may close due to snow, ice, or severe weather, especially F-roads in the Highlands, which are typically inaccessible outside summer. In summer, conditions are generally better and most roads, including F-roads, are open and easier to drive, but the exact opening and closing dates still depend on the weather. Always check road.is for the latest updates before you set off.
Can I cross national borders with my rental car from Iceland?
No, you cannot cross national borders with a rental car from Iceland. Iceland is an island, so there are no land borders to cross. You can take your rental car on domestic ferries in Iceland, but you may not travel abroad with it.
What are F-roads in Iceland, and can I drive on them in a rental car?
F-roads in Iceland are mountain roads in the Icelandic Highlands. The "F" stands for "Fjall", the Icelandic word for mountain. They are unpaved, rough, and usually closed in winter. To drive on F-roads, your rental car must be a 4x4 approved for Highland driving. You can confirm this by checking the "Highland Capabilities" field in the car listing. It’s also important to check current road conditions on road.is before entering the Highlands, as opening dates vary from year to year depending on the weather.
What is the mandatory road tax in Iceland in 2026?
The mandatory road tax in Iceland in 2026 is a kilometer-based driving fee that applies to all vehicles, including gasoline, hybrid, and electric cars. This means you pay a fee based on the distance you drive rather than a fixed annual or per-vehicle tax. The system was introduced in January 2026.
Although the new fee may sound like an extra expense, it has been offset by lower fuel prices, so the overall cost of driving in Iceland remains at a similar level.
For travelers renting through Guide to Iceland, the fee is already included in the rental price as a fixed daily rate that reflects an average mileage, so you don’t need to calculate or pay it separately.
