Buddy Car Rental

Buddy Car Rental is a small, locally owned company based in Reykjanesbær, a few minutes from Keflavík Airport. It doesn't have a terminal desk. Staff collect you at the airport, drive you to the office on Hlíðarvegur, and bring you back after the return check.

Buddy keeps prices low by renting older cars that have already done a few Icelandic seasons, mostly compact SUVs and 4x4s such as the Dacia Duster, Toyota RAV4 and Kia Sportage. Optional cover includes gravel, sand and ash protection, and a 24/7 support line handles breakdowns.

The office is open 09:00 to 17:00 every day, and pickups and returns only happen in those hours, so plan flight times around them.
