Car rental is highly recommended for exploring Iceland. Driving around is quite safe, and the country has many beautiful places to visit. Driving distances from one sight to another are often far; therefore, it is best to ensure the car is in good condition before traveling. Budget for fuel (around €2 per liter) and consider 100 km/h as the standard speed limit. Depending on the activities, tours, and destinations, estimated fuel and car rental expenses can range from €500 - €800.
For those with more time, we recommend travelling to the Skaftafell Glacier in eastern Iceland, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, or the Westfjords.
