Small & Cheap Cars in Iceland

Yes, small and cheap rental cars are still available to assist your travels during COVID-19. Due to the changing demands of local health guidelines, rental services may be temporarily affected. Select a date to check rental availability for small and cheap cars during your travel days.

Your health and safety are the number one priority for car rental companies. Each vehicle is disinfected before and after your rental. Interiors and high-touch surfaces are thoroughly sanitized, as are all contact surfaces in rental offices. Rental employees are careful to maintain the recommended social distance and wear masks as needed. You can travel safely and securely by carefully following the guidelines of local health authorities.

Small and cheap cars are categorised by their size and price, as well as whether or not they are three years or older. Vehicles within this category are generally priced lower than models that are either larger or newer. Within this section, you can find cars such as Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Yaris. Smaller and cheaper cars come without 4WD or AWD. 

These vehicles are best suited to driving around Reykjavik and Iceland’s towns, but may be unsuitable for rural driving in poor weather. Because of this, these cars are not recommended for travelling around Iceland in the winter. They are perfectly sufficient for all asphalt travel in the summer, however. 

During the summer months, cars are fitted with typical tires. From November 1st until mid-April, cars are fitted with studded winter tires.
