The Go to Car Rental in Iceland

There are many car rental places in Iceland, my go to is Blue Car Rental. I know they have extensive coverage around Iceland and have a very good customer service. Most (If not all) of the cars come with unlimited mileage and zero hidden cost.

The unlimited mileage is a huge plus in Iceland as it can always be so tempting to drive down just one more road!

Sandholt

餐厅

Bakery

Some of the best baked goods and pastry in Iceland. Best sourdough bread in Iceland. Go here for breakfast! But be early to get a spot - it quickly gets crowded.
