Hertz at Keflavik International Airport
Keflavik International Airport is Iceland's main arrival point. Iceland's largest airfield stands on a peninsula, two miles west of the small town of Keflavik and 30 miles west of the capital Reykjavik.
Hire a car in Keflavik to explore the city and, if you are travelling with children, be sure to check out the Giantess in the Cave. Based on the fictional character from the Herdís Egilsdóttir book, this life-size replica is five metres high and sits in a rocking chair. For something a bit more educational why not take a trip to the Duushús Museum, where there are several exhibition halls including the Reykjanes Heritage Museum.
If you hire a car at Keflavik Airport the temptation is to head straight off to Reykjavik. If you've time, it's worth having a look at Kaflavik itself first though. This is an old fishing town with a small harbour and surrounded by old lava fields. Its attractions include a replica of Leif Eriksson's Viking longboat and the Blue Lagoon, an open-air thermal bathing spot. If you do drive to Reykjavik, you'll be able to see the main sights, including the shops, bars, restaurants, museums and the extraordinary modern Hallgrímskirkja Church, Iceland's tallest building.

Customer Reviews
We arrived at the KEF airport only to discover the company we had made a reservation with had already closed. We walked back to the airport from the shuttle area and discovered there was a Hertz counter open. We walked right up and were able to get a car with 4x4 for almost exactly the same price as our original rental. The staff were very helpful and the whole process took about 10 min. Bringing the car back was equally as easy and there were zero issues. I would definitely use Hertz again and highly recommend them for other travelers going through the KEF airport.
