Should I hire a car in Iceland with Zest Car Rental?
In short, yes! Hiring a car in Iceland offers you the freedom of exploring parts of the country only accessible by car.
Driving the Golden Circle is an iconic Icelandic experience that should be at the top of your list when exploring the country with a hire car. This picturesque route is conveniently accessible from Reykjavik, making it a perfect day trip. Your adventure begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its historical significance and unique geological features. Here, you can walk in the footsteps of early Icelandic settlers and witness the dramatic Silfra Fissure, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. It's a mesmerizing sight and offers the opportunity for snorkeling or diving for the adventurous.
Alternatively, you could explore Iceland's South Coast by hire car. This will be an unforgettable journey through some of the country's most dramatic landscapes and natural wonders. Setting out on Route 1, also known as the Ring Road, you'll encounter a series of breathtaking attractions that showcase Iceland's diverse beauty.
Where can I hire a car in Iceland with Zest Car Rental?
There are two main airports in Iceland, and Zest Car Rental is on hand to offer our unrivalled service at either one.
The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, is only a short drive away from Keflavik Airport. The turquoise waters of the world-renowned Blue Lagoon on the outskirts of Reykjavik is a hugely popular attraction. If you’d rather learn about Iceland’s history, pay a visit to the National Museum of Iceland or explore modern Reykjavik and its Hallgrímskirkja church and the striking Harpa building.
Akureyri Airport is the gateway to the north of Iceland. Head to the city of Akureyri itself and you could end up spending hours in Lystigarourinn – the district’s Botanical Gardens – or simply enjoying the stunning view of the fjord that acts as a spectacular backdrop.
