Reykjavik by car
Reykjavik by car
Three main roads serve as entry points into Reykjavík: Reykjanesbraut, road 40, enters the city from the west linking it to Southwest Iceland and Keflavík International Airport; the ring road, road 1, enters the city from both east and north. If you're driving into town from South Iceland or West Iceland, beware of some quite heavy traffic jams on Sundays when people are going back home after a weekend away. This mainly applies during the summer, and becomes even worse on Mondays after three-day weekends, not to mention if the weather has been good.
There are rental car services all over Iceland, and many in Reykjavík. The cheapest car at the cheapest dealer you may find would average out to about 5500 ISK each day. If you intend to just stay in Reykjavík, renting a car is not necessary as the bus system is great and it is easy to walk around. If you plan to leave Reykjavík and go to the countryside, then renting a car is the best way to experience Iceland.
