Car Hire in Esjumelar, Reykjavik, Iceland

Before confirming your booking, see if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can be very beneficial if your travel plans change suddenly.

If someone else will drive, confirm the rental company's policy on additional drivers and any fees that may apply. Some might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Reykjavik, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.

Before renting, confirm if your personal auto insurance extends to rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards offer this coverage, helping you avoid extra charges.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
