When Booking a car with circle

Before Booking a Car

Circle Car Rental puts extra effort into making sure you have a safe trip in Iceland. All cars are cleaned and sanitized before and after rentals. At the office our team frequently cleans touched surfaces and respects the social distancing.

When renting a car from Circle Car Rental, drivers must be at least 20 years old and must have held a drivers licence for 12 months.

You will need a valid driver’s license and a valid credit card. Additional drivers also need to show a valid driver’s license.

  • The license is valid as long as it is printed in the Latin alphabet and is valid for at least 12 months.
  • A valid credit card, if the renter does not have a credit card we do accept 16 digit number debit card.

 

Credit card payment is the best option to pay for your rental vehicle when you book online. The renter may also be able to book with a debit card if you have the online payment option available on it.

The renter, or someone traveling with the renter, also needs to submit a credit card on arrival when he picks up the vehicle. If you only have debit card we accept debit cards with a 16 digit number on the front.

We do not hold a deposit from our customers during the rental period.

We only need to see a valid credit card on arrival, we will only hold the imprint of the card as a guarantee. If the renter does not have a credit card, we do accept 16 number debit card.
