05 Feb Should I Rent a Car or Hire a Private Tour Company?

Posted at 10:40h in TRAVEL TIPS by

If you’re planning a trip to Iceland, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to rent a car or hire a private tour company. Both options have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your travel style.

Renting a car gives you complete freedom. You can explore at your own pace, stop whenever you want, and take spontaneous detours. It’s perfect for independent travelers who enjoy flexibility and adventure. However, driving in Iceland requires preparation—weather conditions can be unpredictable, and some roads demand a 4×4.

On the other hand, a private tour company offers a stress-free experience. You get a knowledgeable local guide who not only handles the driving but also enriches the journey with fascinating stories, hidden gems, and expert insights. It’s an excellent option if you want to maximize your time, avoid navigation worries, and gain a deeper understanding of Iceland’s culture and nature.

Ultimately, if you love independence and are comfortable driving, renting a car is a fantastic choice. But if you want a personalized, enriching experience without the hassle, a private tour can add that extra magic to your adventure.

Which one suits you best? It all depends on how you want to explore!
