Car Rental in Iceland
Iceland, residing in the northern Atlantic Ocean, is portrayed as a very distant country, but the truth is that it is not so far away. Iceland is called “The Ice and Fire Island”, and its landscapes do not resemble any other European sceneries – they include volcanoes, hot springs, icebergs, giant waterfalls, lakes and breathtaking gazers. The landscape formations and the geographic expanses in Iceland are different and diverse, making it a special and extraordinary country.
Although Iceland is a medium-sized island with a little over 300 thousand inhabitants, the most recommended way to travel throughout it is by car rental. Albar operates car rental services in Iceland through the world’s leading international companies Dollar and Thrifty, and puts at the travelers’ disposal a wide variety of vehicles, equipped with navigation systems, for easy convenient orientation. With Albar you can collect your car from the airport after landing, load your equipment onto it and get underway – without any halts or delays of any kind. The attractive prices, the high level services and the wide deployment of Albar throughout the country, make car rental in Iceland into the most convenient, easy and efficient solution. Beyond that, car rental in Iceland will allow you to experience it in its entirety: there’s no better way to stop and visit the spectacular natural resources of Iceland than through renting a car.
Due to the short tourist season of Iceland, which mainly includes our summer months – June, July and August, it is recommended to order in advance Albar’s car rental services from Israel, through the international representatives Dollar and Thrifty, thus ensuring yourselves the most suitable and desirable car, and at an affordable price. It is recommended to commence the trip in Iceland in the capital city of Reykjavík, the world's northernmost city. Except for nightlife, cafes and plenty of restaurants, you will find in the city a church, a spectacular vantage point of the city and a variety of museums and galleries, among them the National Museum and the Open Museum.
Car rental in Iceland with Albar’s representatives, Dollar and Thrifty, will allow you to travel beyond the capital city to the adjacent blue lagoon, one of the most prominent attractions in Iceland, which is located under the open sky and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Bathing in the warm water vis-a-vis the coldness prevailing outside is an unforgettable experience.
One of the most popular places in Iceland is the Golden Triangle, which is composed of the three most toured destinations in the country: Geysir – the gazers site, in which you can watch several gazers (outbursts of hot water from underground depths), the Gullfoss Waterfall, a powerful beautiful waterfall, and the historical site Tingvellir, where the first European parliament was brought into being.
Through car rental in Iceland with Dollar and Thrifty represented by Albar, you can travel southwards to the Thórsmörk Reserve, surrounded by mountains, rivers and icebergs, offering walking trails among forests and waterfalls. In northern Iceland you can visit Akureyri, the second largest city in the country, which offers fascinating museums, botanical gardens, and mainly beautiful nature of snowy mountains. Not far from Akureyri, you will find the colorful fishing village Husavik, from which you can go on whale-watching cruises.
Car rental in Iceland will allow you to tour the length and breadth of the country, and view the exciting nature creations scattered all over the country. The great distances in between the different sites, with the addition of an underdeveloped public transportation, make the car rental option in Iceland into the most convenient and simple way to tour the country.
In Iceland the main road is called Road 1, a very comfortable road for travelling, also serving as the island’s main transportation center, and from which you can depart on diverse trips. Note that certain roads in Iceland are not paved, and driving on them is prohibited. Additionally, make sure that you drive cautiously since animals bursting into the road are not a rare sight. Verify that your lights are turned on all year round, in accordance with the country’s laws.
