Vehicle Selection FAQ

Will I receive an automatic car if I book one?

+/-

Yes. If you reserve a vehicle with automatic transmission, you will always receive an automatic vehicle.

Even if the exact model you selected is unavailable, we will provide a similar or upgraded automatic vehicle. We will never change an automatic booking to manual transmission.

Is insurance included with my rental?

+/-

Yes. All rentals with Iceland Car Rental include full insurance with zero excess. This means you are fully covered without a deductible in case of damage.

Our pricing is designed to be transparent and all-inclusive, so you don’t need to worry about hidden insurance costs when you arrive to pick up your vehicle.

Are there any hidden fees when renting a car?

+/-

No. At Iceland Car Rental, the price you see when booking is the final price you pay.

Your rental includes full insurance with zero excess, and there are no hidden charges at pickup. Our goal is to make renting a car in Iceland simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Do I need a 4x4 vehicle to drive in Iceland?

+/-

It depends on your travel plans and the time of year. Many popular destinations such as the Golden Circle and the South Coast can be accessed with a standard car.

However, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended during winter or if you plan to explore more remote areas, mountain roads, or the Icelandic Highlands.

What does “Guaranteed Model” mean when booking a car?

+/-

When a vehicle is marked as Guaranteed Model, the exact vehicle shown on the website is the model you will receive when you arrive.

In the rare case that the vehicle becomes unavailable due to operational reasons, we will provide a free upgrade to a higher category vehicle at no extra cost. We will never downgrade your booking.
