Best car rental prices in Reykjavik
Bookingauto (Reykjavik) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Reykjavik can always collect them from the most suitable place.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Reykjavik, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible BMW 4 Cabrio from €77 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Opel Vivaro at a rate of €45 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series. A budget transport option for a journey would be a VW Polo car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €11 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Dynamics of price changes by month
During the high season in summer, car rental in Reykjavik costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Seat Toledo popular in Reykjavik costs €36 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €8 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW 4 Cabrio is offered at €77 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Reykjavik is the VW Polo. The sixt company rents it out for €11 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 7 Series will cost about €63 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Volvo XC60 very cheaply in the autumn for just €32 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months.
