Can under 25s rent cars in Reykjavik, Reykjavik

Accepted Answer

In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge.

In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the rental company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

What is the process for returning a car in Reykjavik?

Accepted Answer

Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car rental location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. It’s a good idea to confirm with the car rental company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
