Stay Connected with Mobile Wi-Fi

Navigating Iceland's remote areas or simply sharing your journey with friends and family requires a reliable internet connection. Our Mobile Wi-Fi service ensures you stay connected wherever your travels take you.

Why You Need Internet on the Go

A portable Wi-Fi device is one of the most valuable Iceland travel tips for the modern explorer. It allows you to use your smartphone for navigation, look up information about attractions, check weather forecasts, and book accommodations on the fly. You can also share real-time updates of your adventure on social media without worrying about expensive data roaming charges.

Our Europcar Mobile Wi-Fi provides a generous 10GB of data for each rental, allowing you to connect up to 10 devices simultaneously. This is ideal for families or groups traveling together. The service is available for pickup at our Keflavik International Airport, Reykjavik downtown, and Akureyri locations. Please note that this add-on is not available for one-way rentals.

Navigate with Confidence Using GPS

While many of our vehicles come equipped with built-in navigation systems, we highly recommend a dedicated Garmin GPS device for superior guidance. Iceland's road network, especially outside the main Ring Road, can be complex. A reliable GPS is crucial for a stress-free journey.

The Advantage of a Dedicated GPS

Garmin devices are renowned for their detailed, up-to-date maps of Iceland. They offer precise turn-by-turn directions, even in areas with poor satellite reception, which can be a common issue for smartphone-based navigation apps. This ensures you can find your way to remote waterfalls, hidden hot springs, and scenic viewpoints without getting lost.

Please be aware that while some cars in our fleet have built-in Navi, others do not. To guarantee you have dependable navigation, we suggest adding a Garmin device to your booking. Holdur does not offer refunds for GPS rentals, even if your assigned vehicle includes a built-in system.

Ensure Child Safety with Approved Car Seats

Icelandic law mandates that any child shorter than 135 cm must travel in a certified child safety seat. This regulation is strictly enforced to ensure the safety of young travelers, and it applies to all roads, from city streets to mountain tracks. Your child's safety is our top priority.

Choosing the Right Seat for Your Child

We provide high-quality, European-certified child seats to meet the needs of your family. It is essential to select the correct size based on your child's weight to ensure maximum protection.

We offer the following options:

• Infant Seats (0–13 kg): Rear-facing seats designed to provide optimal support for newborns and infants.
• Child Seats (9–18 kg): Forward-facing seats for toddlers and young children who have outgrown their infant seats.
• Booster Seats (15–36 kg): For older children who need a height boost to use the car's standard seatbelt safely.

You can reserve the appropriate seats during your online booking process, and we will have them ready for you upon arrival.

Free Car Rental Safety Guide

Driving in Iceland is quite different from driving in many other countries, and your safety is our utmost priority. To assist you, we offer a comprehensive safety guide to all our foreign customers. We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with this essential information to ensure safe driving in Iceland. The guide provides valuable tips and insights to help you avoid unfortunate incidents and unnecessary expenses.

Share the Drive with Additional Drivers

An Icelandic road trip often involves long hours behind the wheel. Adding one or more drivers to your rental agreement is an excellent way to make the journey more enjoyable and less tiring for everyone.

Sharing the driving responsibilities allows each person to take a break, rest, and fully appreciate Iceland's breathtaking scenery. A well-rested driver is a safer driver, reducing the risk of fatigue-related incidents on long stretches of road. This is one of our most recommended rental car extras for those planning to travel the full Ring Road or venture into the Highlands.

Travel Responsibly with Carbon Sequestration

We are committed to protecting Iceland's unique natural environment. We offer our customers the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from their rental car through our partnership with Kolviður, the Iceland Carbon Fund.

By choosing our Carbon Sequestration option, you contribute directly to tree planting and land reclamation projects in Iceland. This simple action helps mitigate your environmental impact and supports efforts to preserve the country's fragile ecosystems for future generations. You can learn more about how to sequestrate your carbon emissions and make your trip a little greener.

Save Money on Your Journey

Traveling in Iceland can be expensive, but we provide ways to help you save. With every rental, you receive a free discount key tag that offers savings on fuel at N1 service stations across the country.

This tag gives you an exclusive discount of ISK 5 per liter of fuel. With over 122 N1 outlets, you are never far from a place to refuel and save. Simply present the key tag at the counter to receive your discount. It’s a small but significant way to reduce your travel expenses.

One-Way Rentals

Holdur - Europcar has many rental locations around Iceland and we offer excellent service throughout the country. Therefore, it is easy and convenient to pick up your rental car at one place and drop it off at another. This also helps us provide you ultimate service in the unlikely event of you running into some sort of trouble.

Winter Tyres 

When you rent a car from us between November 1st and April 15th, your vehicle will be equipped with studded winter tires for enhanced safety on Icelandic roads. Please note that some electric vehicle models intended for use only in the Reykjavík capital area may be an exception.
