Car rental in Akureyri is ideal if you want to travel at your own pace. You will most likely want a robust car that can handle the steep and slippery terrain. A compact SUV is a good choice as it is ideal for urban adventures, with it being relatively small and ideal for parking.

The addition of 4x4 in the vehicle also provides you with additional power when on the country roads.
