By car you will experience the dramatic landscapes and lava plains close by

Are you and your friends planning the summer holidays and you are eager to enjoy the freedom to the full, then a road trip in a rental car is an obvious choice: You get the full freedom and flexibility, and you really reach the wild nature of the wilderness. In Iceland, a car gives access to very special places in nature, far away from crowded tourist buses and close to the magnificent, sovereign landscapes.

At the same time, you can save tremendously on the overnight stay either by camping or driving out to smaller towns where the prices of hotel or airbnb are far more affordable. The price rent is generally high in Iceland, so check in well before departure where you can rent a car - you can easily compare prices, periods and models at https://www.easyterra.dk/ .

Golden circles of sights or out in the wilderness?

Iceland's road system is characterized by the fact that the island boasts a more than 1300 km long and well-maintained asphalt road around the coast. It will take about half a day with constant driving to cover this stretch, which gives a pretty good impression of the size of the island.

However, it is different with the island's smaller roads into the country, which are primarily smaller asphalt roads or dirt roads. There are large areas in the middle that are covered with endless stone plains and especially in the south of the island you will find very accessible and dramatic areas by and on the majestic glacier, which are areas of ice sheet that do not melt in the summer.

To the south near the capital Reykjavik you will also find the "golden circle" of Icelandic sights: The geothermally active Geysir area, where the geyser Strokkur sends a 20 meter high beam every five minutes; The Thingvellir plain which constituted the Viking Age political parliament and which is now a magnificent national park; and not least the Gullfoss waterfall, which is one of the largest in Iceland and Europe.

You can easily rent a car from the airport Keflavik, which is well outside the capital, or find a rental place in Reykjavik - read more here: https://www.easyterra.dk/island/billeje-reykjavik.html

With the car you can freely move away from the most popular excursion destinations and get a clean impression of the volcanic island's raw charm and wildness. Just take a few hours on the ring road while enjoying the view of the rugged coastline and the high altitudes facing the sea. The good thing about a road trip is just to enjoy the journey, and to be able to follow its insights, then you see an exciting road or a majestic mountain in the distance, then follow the winding dirt roads into the landscape and worship the adventure in the unexpected.
