Navigating Iceland sustainably with a hybrid car

Navigating Iceland sustainably with a hybrid car rental in Iceland is a smart choice for eco-friendly travelers. By choosing us, adventurers can access a variety of hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), making the exploration of Iceland's majestic landscapes both sustainable and enjoyable.

When it comes to driving a PHEV in Iceland, the experience is similar to that of traditional vehicles but with the added benefits of enhanced fuel efficiency. Here are some tips for driving a PHEV efficiently:

• Maintain a steady speed and pace to improve fuel efficiency.
• Keep stable pressure on the accelerator after reaching cruising speed to conserve energy and maintain momentum.
• Brake smoothly to regenerate and store more electrical energy.

These strategies not only contribute to a greener planet but also ensure a cost-effective and rewarding driving experience amidst Iceland's natural beauty.

Exploring Iceland with a PHEV

Exploring Iceland with a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) offers a uniquely sustainable way to enjoy the country's vast natural beauty.

With most attractions accessible, renting a hybrid car in Iceland is ideal since it covers 99% of locations tourists want to visit. Although most models are permitted in the Highlands, these vehicles are not recommended for intense driving, as the battery's installation may not withstand such rugged terrain.

Additionally, PHEVs provide the flexibility of switching between electric power and fuel, making them perfect for long drives around Iceland's famous Ring Road. This route, which circles the entire country, is now equipped with a network of charging stations, ensuring that you can recharge your vehicle conveniently while exploring.

All in all, by choosing a PHEV for your Icelandic road trip, you'll not only enjoy a comfortable and efficient mode of transport but also support Iceland's commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, so what's there to think about? Book yours today!

Where to charge your hybrid car rental in Iceland

Renting a hybrid car in Iceland not only paves the way for an environmentally friendly adventure but also ensures you're never too far from a charging station.

With Iceland's commitment to sustainability, it's reassuring to know that, particularly along Route 1 (Ring Road), you're covered with charging stations strategically placed no more than 100 km apart.

However, when venturing into the stunning yet more isolated regions such as the Westfjords or Eastfjords, it's wise to plan ahead as stations become more sparse. Here's a quick snapshot:

• Route 1 (Ring Road) Ease: Charging stations are readily available, ensuring seamless travel around Iceland's main artery.
• Remote Areas: Expect fewer stations in the Westfjords and Eastfjords; good planning is key.
• PlugShare Map: The PlugShare Map is a lifesaver for locating all charging stations across Iceland, offering peace of mind for your eco-friendly exploration.
