Top tips for hiring a car at Reykjavik Domestic airport

  • Renting a car in Iceland allows you to plan a road trip that fits your budget and schedule. A car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport gives you the freedom you need to explore a country with countless natural gems. To have your ride ready as soon as you arrive at Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV), reserve a vehicle via KAYAK, where you can compare prices offered by various car rental firms. Take advantage of our search tools to save time and select your preferred method of payment, fuel policy, and mileage in advance.
  • Before making any reservation, consider the road you will be driving on from highland, gravel, and asphalt road. The car rental agents are very much willing to advise you on the choice of ride. For instance, a robust 4x4 or 4WD comes highly recommended for road trips in the highlands. An SUV would also be a great option for off-road adventures into the Vatnsnes Peninsula and West Fjords. In contrast, a smaller 2WD is ideal for cruising the main roads in Iceland, such as Reykjanes Peninsula drive. Don’t forget the amount of space your luggage will occupy when selecting a small compact car.
  • After booking through KAYAK, you will get an email confirming where to collect keys for your Reykjavik Domestic Airport car rental. Carefully peruse those details to get an idea of where to get the car before flying into RKV Airport. Once arrived, check the car exterior and interior to record any damage and inform the rental agency. Take your time to understand the fuel policy, and where necessary, fill the tank before setting off to other Iceland destinations.
  • Dropping off your car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport should be a stress-free experience with the return areas located right in front of the terminal’s arrival hall. Sometimes, the return areas are in different car parks from where you picked, but near the airport. All the information you need to know about drop-off centers should be in your confirmation email or the car rental T&C. For further direction, ask the customer representatives at the key collection desks.
  • Book your car hire at Reykjavik Domestic airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Reykjavik Domestic airport

  • How will I pay for fuel when I rent a car at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?

    The full-to-full option is one of the most preferred fuel policies by renters because the driver is sure to pay for the exact amount of fuel consumed. Then there is the full-to-empty option whereby you take a car with a full tank and return it empty. Here, the car rental supplier fills up the tank and charges you separately from local petrol stations.

  • What services attract an extra charge for car rental at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?

    A few additional services can cost you more when you rent a car at RKV Airport. These include a navigation system (if it is not originally built into the car). If you have an extra driver, the rental rate may be a little higher. Also, the age of the driver matters—a supplement for a younger driver could mean an extra cost. Examine the terms and conditions to see whether you need to get insurance for underbody, roof, glass, and tires. Renting a car doesn’t mean you have to be careless on the road because you can be penalized for speeding and parking in the wrong places. The rental company will forward the fines to you to recover the expenses.

  • Are the car rental locations always within the RVK Airport building?

    Five car supplies have their rental desks inside the arrivals hall: Avis, Route 1, Suprice, Budget, and Ice Rental cars. Others like Hertz and Fair Car rentals are a short drive away from the terminal. You can request a shuttle service to take you there.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Reykjavik Domestic airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Reykjavik Domestic airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Geysir Car Rental, Global Rent A Car, Hertz, PROCAR , Sixt, and Thrifty.

I wanted a hybrid but it was more expensive. However when I got there, Louis was super helpful and kind. I asked if there was some way to get a hybrid instead and he said that it already was one. Yay. It went super fast and everything was easy.

I didn't like de consumption. For a hybrid car i find 11,9l/100km to much. The car was delivered with the tank not full and the batery was empty to. All the rest was good, but the issue i mentioned above was bad.

1.9 Poor

Simon, Sept 2021

I had rented a car for the incorrect dates, but immediately attempted to change the dates and the website would not allow me to do so. I attempted to call, but there was no answer. I emailed, but got no response. As a last resort, canceled the reservation on the website, but it did not list as canceled, until, eventually, it did say it was cancelled, but charged me the entire cost of the rental as a ‘cancellation fee.’ I would like my money back.

The car was exactly what we ordered so we were very happy with that. The only issue was how long we had to wait in line to rent. They did not have that many people at the Reykjavik airport pickup to help. Other than that it was a great experience!

Pick up was a bit confusing, mostly because I misread the email. Would be awesome if there were signs for dollar somewhere in the airport, even if that sign just said to press the pickup button.

Thrifty and Dollar are not in the terminal. You catch the shuttle at the departure side of the airport under the "Meeting Point" sign. Only a 3-4 minute shuttle ride. I think this is the better option than renting in the airport because there is no wait once you get to site and they shuttle you right back to the departure entrance when you're finished. If you rent at airport it is quite a long walk back to terminal from the rental car drop-off, with luggage, and they do get a bit of rain in Iceland ' ). Keep their phone number handy so you can call if they're not yet at the Meeting Point when you're ready.

When I arrived at the station in Reykjavik domestic airport, there was no one, no message, no way to contact anyone. I will contact Hertz and compain and ask reimbursment. This is very unfair and unprofessional from the whole chain of contacts.
