South Coast Car Rental

About

Welcome to South Coast Car Rental — your freedom to explore Iceland at your own pace. We're based in Selfoss, the largest town on the south coast, but we also offer pickup in Reykjavík and can arrange Keflavík airport transfers with 24-hour advance notice. Our goal is simple: get you behind the wheel of a reliable, well-maintained car so you can chase waterfalls, discover hidden hot springs, and pull over whenever the view takes your breath away. Every car in our fleet comes with CDW insurance included, unlimited mileage, and a free GPS unit — because getting lost in Iceland is romantic until you're actually lost. We also include winter tires from November through April, because they're not optional here, they're essential. We have three vehicle categories to match how you want to explore. Our Economy Car — a Hyundai i20 — is perfect for summer Ring Road trips and south coast adventures. It's compact, fuel-efficient, and handles the paved roads beautifully. Our SUV 4x4 — a Dacia Duster — opens up more possibilities: winter driving, gravel roads, and highland edges. If you're planning to drive any F-roads or travel in winter, a 4x4 is strongly recommended. And for the ultimate freedom, our two-person Campervan comes with a sleeping area, a small kitchen, and a heater — your accommodation travels with you. SCDW (Super Collision Damage Waiver) and gravel protection are available as add-ons for extra peace of mind. We're transparent about coverage — no surprises when you return the car. All our vehicles are regularly serviced and inspected. We provide 24/7 roadside assistance throughout Iceland, so if anything goes wrong, help is just a phone call away. We also give every renter a road conditions briefing and tips for driving in Iceland, because our roads have some unique challenges — single-lane bridges, sheep crossings, sudden weather changes, and blind hills that every visitor should know about. Selfoss is the natural starting point for the south coast. From here, you can reach Seljalandsfoss in about an hour, Skógafoss in ninety minutes, and Vík in about two and a half hours. The Golden Circle — Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss — is also easily accessible from Selfoss, making us a great base for multi-day exploration. We offer flexible pickup and return times and a straightforward booking process. Just tell us when and where you need the car, and we'll take care of the rest. The open road is calling — let us help you answer it.
