Sim1979 Posted February 8 #1 Share Posted February 8 Our cruise will be staying overnight in Reykjavik (on May 5-6), so i was planning on renting a car to explore a little. Is there any parking near the cruise terminal where i could leave the car overnight while we're back in the ship for the night? Anyone had experience with car rental, there don't seems to be that many options opened on sunday (our cruise arrive on Sunday and leave on Monday), Avis downtown seems to be opened on Sunday but closes at 2PM (and the ship docks at 2PM exactly, so i don't think i will make it...)

Nitemare Posted February 8 #2 Share Posted February 8 There are two cruise terminals, but yes, there are public parking lots near both of them. Blue car rental company is the one most recommended over at TripAdvisor, and they do have an in town location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted February 19 #3 Share Posted February 19 Is there any way to rent a car at the airport and turn it in at the cruise port? We are flying in 2 days before our cruise starts and then the ship overnights in Reykjavik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami mama Posted February 21 #4 Share Posted February 21 Since Blue has offices at the airport and in Reykjavik it is possible to do that with them. That is exactly what we are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted March 5 #5 Share Posted March 5 Thanks. I will check Blue out too. Hertz has airport and in town locations as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted March 19 #6 Share Posted March 19 Customer service +354-552-1700 booking@mycar.is Vatnagarðar 12, 105 Reykjavík www.mycar.is We are renting from MyCar - 2 nights minimum required, but we can return the car earlier (i.e. an overnight stay only) without penalty but will be charged for 2 nights. Compared them against Hertz and MyCar has the advantage - booked & guaranteed to have our car availalble, no bait & switch - initially a Toyota RAV 4 AWD hybrid, good for 4 adults comfortably - upgraded/changed to a Toyota Highlander 4WD with hybrid engine that seats 6. Gasoline is $9 +/- per US gal in Iceland. Be sure to add the recommended windshield, sun/stone protections and paint too (against sand storm) MyCar has a rental office nearby, a 15 minutes from the cruise ship pier and is walkable. Rental rates are high, but compare to private or NCL tours, a relative bargain and affordable. There are plenty of open air, outside parking on the pier next to the ships, free & overnight.

Myrthe Posted May 18 #7 Share Posted May 18 Anyone know a parking address to park your car close to the cruise terminal for a night for free? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted July 10 #8 Share Posted July 10 We just got back. I had emailed Samskip, who runs the port and they sent me the parking area circled in red. We got back from the Golden Circle self-tour around 5 pm and found a spot that had no signs on it. There are some signs that certain spots are for port agents and construction company, but I don't know if they do actually tow. Our car was in the lot when we disembarked in the morning. I know it's too late for the OP, but maybe this helps someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
