5 reasons to rent a car in Iceland and how to save easily

Planning a trip to Iceland? This land of fire and ice offers endless natural wonders – from volcanoes and geysers to black beaches, glacial lagoons and the Northern Lights. And a car is the best way to experience Iceland to the full.

We know how important freedom is when it comes to travelling, that’s why we have prepared a 5% discount on car rental in Iceland with Blue Car Rental. Simply make your booking using this link. Let’s also recap why renting a car really pays off:

1. Freedom of movement without restrictions

With a car you are not tied to timetables or group tours. You can stop wherever you want – whether it’s a deserted waterfall, a flock of sheep by the roadside or a sunset over the beach. Iceland’s nature is unpredictable, and with your own car you can make your own choices depending on the weather and your mood.

2. You are the master of your time

In Iceland, timing matters. Want iconic places all to yourself? Head out early in the morning. Want to catch the Northern Lights? Head out into the open plains in the evening without the light smog. A car gives you complete freedom – you can tailor your day to your plans, the light, the weather and your photographic opportunities.

3. Ideal for roadtrips along the iconic Ring Road

The Ring Road is the main ring road that takes you to the most famous places on the island – Skógafoss waterfall, Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, lava fields and Grábrók crater. All these places and many more can be found in our week itinerary of the best of Iceland.

4. Convenient for couples, groups and families

Travelling with two people, a group of friends or children? The cost of hiring a car is spread over several people and often works out cheaper than public transport or guided tours. Plus, you can choose a car to suit your needs – from a compact hatchback to a 4×4 for more challenging terrain. Plus, the discount below applies to all types of vehicles, including electric.

5. The experience of driving in a unique landscape

Driving through the Icelandic countryside is an experience in itself. Empty roads, rainbows over waterfalls, black beaches, volcanoes and glaciers – every kilometre is an adventure. And if you love taking photos, the car lets you stop exactly where it looks best.
