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.
Overall satisfied, but two points could be improved: 1. The car is quite old, with 270,000 kilometers driven, and it has many visible damages, including a broken reverse radar. 2. The waiting time for the rental company's shuttle bus was too long, exceeding 35 minutes.
I have rented cars overseas more than ten times, but this is the first time I've encountered such a rundown car. The odometer showed over 110,000 kilometers, and the car is estimated to be at least ten years old. When returning the car, they charged me more than the entire rental fee without providing a detailed bill. They told me to submit a request online and had an extremely bad attitude.
The car was relatively old. The service at the counter during drop-off was average and somewhat indifferent. However, the airport shuttle service was quite friendly.
The staff was responsive and friendly. However, when driving, you must set the car lights to full beams regardless of outdoor lighting conditions—it can't just be set to auto as commonly done in China. I asked the staff multiple times for confirmation and even had them check inside the car. They said 'auto' was fine, but this was incorrect and violates Icelandic traffic regulations.
Very convenient, no upselling, simply fill out your personal information, provide traffic rules to be aware of in Iceland, hand over the keys to pick up the car, and returning it just involves a quick inspection of the vehicle.
We received a Renault station wagon, but its trunk space is smaller than that of a Corolla station wagon, which resulted in two of our suitcases having to be placed on the rear middle seat.
Excellent! The car was in great condition, almost like new, with only 2700km. I've used QEEQ multiple times and this was the best car condition so far. Last year in Budapest, the car had over 5000km, also rented through QEEQ.
The car wasn't ready, the model was changed, the hybrid car had a small fuel tank, and the plug-in feature couldn't be used, which meant frequent stops for refueling. Very inconvenient.
The staff picking up passengers at the airport only took the driver due to the high number of guests. The companions had to wait for a long time without a ride and eventually had to rent a car themselves to pick up the driver at the airport. This situation has never happened before.
Overall, I am satisfied, but they required purchasing their insurance and did not recognize domestic ones. They clearly stated that this was mandatory, so those who mind should be aware of this.
The staff at the location were very friendly. Even though my English is not good, communication through translation software went smoothly. The car pickup process took about 5–6 minutes, and the car return inspection was also quick. There was no upselling of any insurance or additional charges. The car rental company is excellent and highly recommended.

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.
