Consider taking advantage of deals on optional extras to help you ensure safer and more enjoyable travels. Here is an idea of what you can include to your car rental in Reykjavik.

Traffic Information

Traffic Information

Reykjavik continues to be one of the smallest capitals in the world at a population of just over 100,000. As such, traffic in the capital city is almost nonexistent with many roads and highways leading drivers to Reykjavik's main neighborhoods and outlying cities. Route 1, or the Ring Road, will take you all the way around the island for a fantastic view of both the urban and rural parts of Ireland. With a rather small local population, most likely you will encounter tourists on Iceland's highways en route to enjoy the magnificent natural wonders of Reykjavik and it surrounds. It is also a good idea to download the emergency 112 app in case you should run into any difficulties while out on the road.
SIXT Sightseeing Tips

SIXT Sightseeing Tips

Despite misconceptions surrounding the name, Iceland is not in fact a floating iceberg. With a similar climate to other Northern European countries, the majority of Iceland's landscape is actually made up of mountains and volcanoes. Understandably then, much of Iceland's tourist appeal stems from its natural beauty and plethora of outdoor activities. Some of the most popular locations include visits to nearby icebergs, waterfalls, and beaches at Skogafoss, Gullfoss, and Jokulsarlon Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon spa in the center of Reykjavik is the most famous location to sit back and treat yourself to a relaxing day in the geothermal spa. If you find yourself visiting between September and April, make sure to look up into the sky and take in the natural colorful phenomenon of the Northern Lights.

I rented a Tesla Model Y from this rental agency, and I'm glad I did. The price of gas is very expensive in Iceland so paying a little more than $20 to fully charge a car sounds like a good bargain to me. Unlike other agencies, Sixt adds you as a driver to the Tesla app so you can control the car from your phone. So in order to save some time during the pickup process, I highly recommend preinstalling the app ahead of time, creating an account and adding a credit card so it can be used for payment at Tesla Supercharger. Also I would suggest to create an account and download an app for ON Charging stations and add a credit card to it too so it will save you time when you need to charge on the road.

Well, all the car hire companies in Iceland have a lot of very bad reviews, among the "least worst" reviews I have hand picked Sixt. Based on other people experiences we decided to grab the full insurance coverage and refuel the car by ourselves before return it a week later. As per reviews suggestions on the collection day we checked every single part of the car looking for dents, scratches and any faulty thing. I took loads of photos and my wife had some videos as evidence thinking ahead on the return date, actually the agent recommended us to do that as well. Even after perform all these visual checks I called the agent to personally show him some small scratches, as per other people reviews recommendation. The only unexpected expense was he offered us a "sand & ash protection" policy which pays any damage excess OVER 2000 EUR. In case of a strong storm or a volcanic eruption car painting can get damaged and it is supposed that the full protection policy doesn't cover it. Despite we additionally had our personal full car coverage policy from UK we decided to grab it just in case. We asked him if they had free WiFi in their office and he offered us a WiFi mobile spot instead to take with us for 10 EUR a day. Neither O2 nor Vodafone roaming data services worked and based on previous bad experiences buying local SIMs abroad we decided to take it. We all four were using it on our trip through SW Iceland and it was pretty useful, I recommend it mainly for families or groups. I drove 1.300+ km with no issues, just one day last strong blizzard. Return date came over and we refueled on the service station next to Sixt office located turning the corner. All the return process was OK, no issues, I have had no extra charges since February when I hired the car. I know it can sound as lot of work to hire a car in Iceland, but it is worth to do it, you are free to go wherever you want, just try to use paved roads in order to avoid any inconvenience. Tip, next to the main office entrance door there is a kind of umbrella stand containing an angled mirror, it is intended to check the car bottom body so you don't have to kneel looking for any hidden damage.

Sixt was great to hire from when we arrived in iceland, James on the desk was super helpful to help plan our trip and advise us on how to save money on toll roads etc. Thanks James.!

Had an exceptional experience at the Sixt location at Keflavík Airport in Iceland. The person assisting us was James. I highly recommend you seek him out. He thoroughly explains everything, shares helpful tips, and makes sure you are well aware of the repercussions of getting caught speeding. We had an electric AWD MG SUV that was brand new. It handled exceptionally well and the maps were already set to English for us. We definitely received first class service.

The car and the staff were great. The only problem was that costumers are supposed to have a credit card, which I don´t, so the pick up took more than 30 minutes and at the begining they could not assure me that I was going to take the car. Finally everything worked with my debit card.
