03

Which car hire company is cheapest at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?

Ras is cheapest at Reykjavik Domestic Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging $71 a day over the last 12 months, but you need a credit card and Ras does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Ras has an airport desk and holds a deposit of about $1,496, so check your available credit before choosing its lower rate. Europcar averages $126 a day for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, from 1,912 prices, which is $55 more a day than Ras. Europcar scores 88/100 from 59 reviews and holds about $752, giving you a scored alternative with a smaller deposit.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Which car hire company has the best reviews at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?

Choose Europcar at Reykjavik Domestic Airport if reviews guide your decision: it leads with 88/100 from 59 reviews, although you should allow for an average desk wait of 18 minutes. Europcar is not the cheapest: for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, Europcar averages $126 a day from 1,912 prices, while Ras averages $71 a day.

06

What should I watch out for when hiring a car at Reykjavik Domestic Airport?

At Reykjavik Domestic Airport, check your credit-card limit and leave time for collection, because credit-only deposits and desk waits can disrupt your plans before you start driving. All 5 desks require a credit card, and Hertz holds about $2,077, so confirm that your card can cover the deposit. Dollar averages a 23-minute desk wait, so do not schedule your departure from the airport as though collection were immediate.
