imalori Posted August 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2023 We will be on the Celebrity Silhouette in Reykyavik on Sunday, September 3, and we'd like to rent a car for the day. There are car rental locations downtown and at the airport. Which location can we get to easily from the port? Any insight in car rental in Reykyavik? Thanks!

Nitemare Posted August 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Downtown Reykjavik is where the cruise port is. The airport is a solid 45 minute drive away. Blue Car Rental is the preferred provider based on reports I read regularly on TripAdvisor, and we used them last time we were in Iceland. When renting a car in Iceland consider insurance options CAREFULLY as roads can be a little rough and winds can be strong, and windshields can get damaged by gravel from roads and strong winds can literally sandblast the paint off of a car .

It is Keflavík Airport that is quite long way from the Reykjavík city centre, but there is also Reykjavík Airport that is within the city and I don't think it takes 45 minutes to get there from the cruise port. That airport concentrates in domestic traffic (+ some flights to Greenland), but if I looked right on Google Maps, there is couple car hire places next to the Reykjavík Airport. Another few (including that Blue Car Rental mentioned above) seem to be located in harbour area of Reykjavík and although the cruise port is located elsewhere, the distances between two are tolerable.

Good point. Hard to tell from @imalori 's post which airport was meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
