Highlights

This extremely popular classic circle self-drive vacation gives you the opportunity to visit all of Iceland’s main attractions, in eight days and seven nights! The Ring Road is an 800-mile national route that connects most of the major towns, with many of Iceland’s most popular tourist sites along (or near) the way. *Please note that this car rental is based on seven 24-hour rental days, starting at the time of rental. If your flight arrives early on day 1 and departs late on day 8, an additional supplement will be necessary unless you choose to return the car in Reykjavik when the 6 day rental is up, and use a departure shuttle transfer instead. *Must be 23 years of age to rent a car.
