Car Rental in Skuggahverfi, Reykjavik, Iceland

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 booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most rental companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the rental provider to let them know.

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.

Select a pickup location that's convenient for you. Many rental firms have desks at airports for quick access, while others might require a shuttle service.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Evaluating your insurance options is essential when renting a car. Look into Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for added financial protection. Always clarify coverage requirements with the rental service.
