EB1- VW ID3 58kW - or similar

An all-electric family hatchback

Volkswagen is known around the world as a reliable manufacturer of quality cars. The brand’s ID.3 only adds to that reputation, by showcasing Volkswagen’s class in producing all-electric vehicles too.

The VW ID.3 is the perfect car for environmentally conscious families travelling in Iceland. It’s large enough to seat five people, it’s comfortable enough to ensure you’re all happy on long journeys, and its electric battery has sufficient mileage to ease any range anxiety. It’s really a top choice for your low-emissions Icelandic road trip.

As an electric vehicle (EV), the VW ID.3 won’t be appropriate for journeys into the highlands, however. If you’re planning a trip to the likes of Landmannalaugar, we recommend a 4x4 SUV. A standard EV won’t be able to handle the unpaved F-roads or the potential river crossings.

That said, if you’re sticking to the Ring Road, south Iceland, or the area around Reykjavík, the VW ID.3 is a great choice.

What features does a VW ID.3 have?

The Volkswagen ID.3 is a 5-door, 5-seater electric vehicle, with an automatic gearbox just like every EV. With Höldur, the vehicle comes with:

• A Bluetooth connection
• Heated front seats
• Air conditioning
• Power windows
• Adjustable power steering
• Remote locking
• Anti-lock brakes.

The ID.3 is also completely zero-emissions, making this the eco-friendly choice for travellers to Iceland. You’ll find that many visitor destinations and hotels have charge points that you can use, often for free.

Who can hire a VW ID.3?

The VW ID.3 is an ideal option for families and groups covering longer distances in Iceland. If you want something larger, we recommend the VW ID.4 or the Maxus Euniq 5 or 6. Alternatively, you could choose a 4x4 SUV.

In Iceland, you need to be at least 20 years old to hire electric cars such as the Volkswagen ID.3. You will also need:

• A valid driving licence, which you’ve had for at least one year
• A credit card, that’s valid for at least the period of rental
• A passport, to prove your identity.
