This Car Rental is my most trusted rental company in Iceland. They are a family run business with great cars, great prices, awesome service and they're right at the airport so there is no hassle when checking in or out. There is also a location in Reykjavik if for some reason you are not arriving through Keflavik Airport. The link below has a 5% discount applied to it. No code needed :)

A rental car shuttle bus comes to the arrivals door every 15-20 minutes and this Car Rental is the second stop. It's only a 3 minute walk but I'm sure you won't want to walk with all your luggage.

If you're coming in the summertime and plan to go into the highlands or drive on the mountain roads (F-roads) you MUST have a 4x4. If you plan to just stay around the ring road then a regular 2x2 car is all you'll need.

If you're coming in the winter time you might feel more comfortable in a 4x4 but Iceland does a very good job of clearing and salting the roads so you will also be okay in a regular car. It is all your personal preference.

All cars come equipped with winter tires from the months of Oct-April so you'll be just fine. That means there are little spikes in the tires to help you grip the road better if it is icey. They are a lifesaver!

Please note the Blue Lagoon can close unexpedly due to ongoing volcanic activity.

A MUST see. Some people call it the 8th wonder of the world. You will be required to shower before you go into the lagoon. In Iceland full nudity is normal in the showers of swimming pools so just keep that in mind. If you want to shower in your bathing suit that is fine too. I strongly advise you to not let your hair get wet in the blue lagoon because it really dries it out for days!! There is also a little cafe inside so you can grab sandwiches or snacks after the lagoon. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance as it usually sells out. Great spot to visit first thing after you land from the airport or on your way to the airport at the end of your trip.

In my opinion you wouldn't ever regret your visit to the Blue Lagoon but if you went to Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon, you'd probably end up liking Sky Lagoon more.

If you're anything like me, you probably thought Iceland has no good food. This couldn't be further from the truth. I have never had better food than when dining in Iceland.

Just trust me on this one. Iceland turned me into a foodie, this is going to be a highlight of your trip I promise!

You'll get a small tour of Reykjavik and get personal stories from a local guide. I love this tour so much and you will not leave hungry!

This is a perfect thing to do on your first day in Iceland. You get to try authentic Icelandic cuisine from different restaurants in Iceland. Everything is taken care of for you, all you have to do is show up.

Be sure to come with an empty stomach :)

Make sure to book your tour ahead of time because it tends it sell out, it's THAT good!
