The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.
Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Keflavik borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.
If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Keflavik might be delayed for a day or two.
Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.
We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Keflavik!

The cost of one hour of parking can be from 50 to 150 kronur, depending on the type and location of the parking lot. In the capital, in addition to usual parking lots, there are also multi-level parking lots.
Reykjavik has the heaviest traffic in the country, but outside of the capital roads are literally empty. You can drive for several hours on a country road and do not see any oncoming vehicle. Despite a little number of cars on local roads, motorists should not relax and forget about basic traffic regulations as they are strictly monitored.
