Reykjavik Rent a Car is seeing a steady rise in walk-in rentals as more travelers arriving in Iceland choose to arrange vehicles in person instead of booking ahead online. The company says the shift reflects a growing appetite for flexibility among visitors who want to make travel decisions based on weather, timing, and local advice.
Operating from both central Reykjavík and near Keflavík International Airport, Reykjavik Rent a Car has long served visitors who value convenience and local knowledge. Recently, more customers have been walking into the company’s offices to book on arrival, often after landing or checking into nearby accommodation. The increase in same-day rentals has prompted the company to refine its services to make the process faster and easier.
A manager at Reykjavik Rent a Car, says the shift fits Iceland’s spirit of adventure.
“Many travelers want to see what the day brings before deciding where to go,” he said. “Some spend time in Reykjavík, others drive into the countryside. We’ve focused on making it simple for anyone who arrives without a reservation to get behind the wheel and start exploring.”
To meet this demand, Reykjavik Rent a Car has streamlined its check-in process and introduced convenient features for spontaneous travelers. Customers can use secure key boxes for after-hours pickups or returns, and a free shuttle service is available when needed to help them reach their vehicles from the airport or nearby hotels. These services make it easier for travelers to adapt their plans without worrying about timing or logistics.
The company’s Find-Us page, which lists its Reykjavík and Keflavík locations, has become an essential resource for those looking to rent on arrival. With clear directions and contact information, it helps visitors locate branches and plan their pickup with minimal effort.
Independent travel continues to define Iceland’s tourism scene. Many visitors now prefer to explore at their own pace, visiting landmarks, small towns, and scenic routes away from large tour groups. Renting on arrival allows them to respond to changing weather or daylight conditions — a practical advantage in Iceland’s unpredictable environment.
Reykjavik Rent a Car’s fleet ranges from compact city cars to 4x4 rental options built for Iceland’s F-Roads and highland tracks. The company’s local team offers guidance on routes, safety, and road conditions, helping visitors make the most of their journey with confidence.
“We’ve always believed that renting a car in Iceland should be simple and personal,” he added. “Whether people walk in or book online, our focus is on reliable vehicles, friendly service, and helping them experience Iceland on their own terms.”
