Important information about Reykjavik car rentals

Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland, boasts a rich historical charm and natural beauty. With rental cars in Reykjavik, you can go to the famous Hallgrimskirkja Church, Harpa, and the Perlan Museum of Iceland Natural Wonders. You may want to choose Ring Road (Rte. 1) as it connects a progression of natural attractions along the island's picturesque coastline.  The Ring Road is mainly paved, well-maintained, and runs around the coast, making it the ideal starting point for your trip in a car rental in Reykjavik. The road has two traffic lanes, but it expands with more lanes in large urban centers.
