With breathtaking land, sea and mountainscapes to be seen all over the island, Iceland tops the list of Europe's first-choice motoring holiday destinations. Situated at the very edge of the Arctic Circle, the country offers a unique range of tourist experiences, ranging from dining out under the midnight sun to sleeping out under the Northern Lights. Iceland is a land of glaciers, waterfalls, hot geothermal lakes, moon-like lava fields and refreshingly cosmopolitan towns and cities. Reykjavik (the capital) is a fine example of this; the city is alive with Icelandic culture portrayed in its many museums and galleries. Don't miss the excellent Settlement Exhibition for a fascinating portrayal of the Vikings presence on the island or the spectacular views from the top of Hallgrimskirkja Church. A car hire in Iceland offers you the chance to relax in the warm waters of the famous Blue Lagoon and take a selfie in front of Geysir, the best-known of all the world’s geysers. For the trip of a lifetime, you can circumnavigate the entire island on the popular Ring Road which covers more than eight hundred miles of the most spectacular scenery you're ever likely to see.
Auto Europe offers the best deals for your motoring holiday in Iceland, with convenient pick-up points available all over the island, including Keflavik where the country's international airport is located. You can rent a car in Iceland in a few easy steps using the company's online booking engine, which compares rates and offers you the cheapest possible prices.

" Allowing for comment in #3 above, the staff at pick up and drop off were very helpful, pleasant and friendly. they made a tourist feel welcome. "
" Overall very happy. My one comment is that at pick up the staff should be more clear about explaining local road laws. For example, explain toll roads, lights must be on at all times etc. In many countries road tolls can be paid online up to 24 hours after going through the booth. In Iceland they had to be paid by cash or card to an operator at the time. This was not obvious and neither was it explained at pick up. "

Had all tyre replaced after mending puncture because they were substandard, the studs had been taken out of winter tyre making them weak summer tyres. Good points, immediately fixed brake noise in Reykjavik, paid for wheel rim repair and new tyres with no fuss..had taken out full insurance. Polite. helpful getting us to airport quickly. "
