Credit card payment is the best option to pay for your rental vehicle when you book online. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Union Pay, Discovery, Diners Club and JCB are valid.
The renter may also be able to book with a debit card if you have the online payment option available on it.
Cash Payments are not accepted.
The renter, or someone traveling with the renter, also needs to submit a credit card on arrival when he picks up the vehicle. We require the renters to submit credit card but if you only have debit card we accept debit cards with a 16 digit number on the front.
Once you finish the online check-in, you can have a wallet pass sent to your phone. The pass contains a unique QR code that speeds up the arrival process at the Iceland Car Rental office. Just scan the code when you arrive, and you’ll be guided to the right line automatically. It’s designed to make your pickup smoother and more efficient.
