To drive in Iceland, many car rental companies require the driver to present a valid national driver's license that has been held for at least 2 years.
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended for anyone living outside of Iceland. Especially if your domestic driver's license is printed with non-Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), anInternational Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation in English is required together with your driver's license when you drive in Iceland.
*Attention! Some car rentalcompanies would have different requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions during the booking process.
As soon as I arrived at the airport, I spotted the pickup person. It was just a 10-minute drive to the car rental location. There were four counters handling the process, but the wait to pick up the car was quite long since they go over the insurance coverage details with everyone. Back home, I bought full coverage insurance on the platform, which was convenient and cost-effective. There were no issues during pickup or drop-off, the car was in good condition, and everything went smoothly.
The staff were friendly and courteous, provided detailed answers, and informed me about things to pay attention to on the road. However, they downgraded the car and misleadingly claimed it was an upgrade. This kind of behavior is deceptive to customers and unacceptable! Furthermore, the car was close to needing maintenance and had faults, reflecting poor management by the rental company, and it was very unsafe. Poor service!
During the trip, a low tire pressure warning appeared. After returning to Reykjavik, I went to the downtown service center and got a replacement vehicle.
I first used QEEQ in 2015, and now it's been 10 years. QEEQ's service is absolutely unbeatable. Whenever there's a problem, their customer service always helps resolve it.
The staff coordinated promptly upon arrival. The car pickup process took some time, but the return was very quick, about 10 minutes for the inspection. There was also a shuttle bus to the airport. Overall, the experience was good.
The service attitude was excellent. The receptionist patiently explained all the terms we had booked without any upselling or hidden charges. They even upgraded our Toyota Yaris Cross AWD to a Kia Sportage AWD for free, which provided a more spacious and comfortable ride.
The staff at the store simply asked if I needed extra insurance. I told him I already purchased one domestically, and without any hassle, he handed me the keys and I drove off! Before returning the car, I searched everywhere for a car wash but couldn't find one. I went to the store and asked, and they told me it wasn't necessary to wash it.
Renting a car for a trip to Iceland was a great decision, and it was easy to drive. The only thing is we were in a rush when returning the car, so I hope there won’t be any issues afterward.
Overall satisfied, the car was in great condition! However, the pickup experience was terrible. We waited for 5 hours to get the car, and it wasn't the model we had reserved. We had to drive to another branch to switch vehicles.
QEEQ provided excellent service, and all issues were communicated smoothly. The rental company was also good. The car had some scratches on the glass and body during pickup, but taking photos for records was sufficient.

Frequently asked questions
Q1.What is an insurance excess？
The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle. Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.
Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?
You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental. Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.
Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?
QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results. However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available. After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.
Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?
If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with. If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind: 1. You may have to pay more. There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter. 2.It may not be allowed. Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country. Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.
Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?
Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ. Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
