About Renting a Car at Center

The Westman Islands, or Vestmannaeyjar, are an archipelago south of Iceland's south coast and are reached by ferry from Landeyjahöfn, a journey of approximately 35 minutes. On the largest island Heimaey, the center offers an excellent starting point for exploring the volcano Eldfell, which was created during the dramatic 1973 eruption, and the black lava formations that still characterize the landscape. Drive along the island's ring road and experience the dramatic sea cliffs where millions of puffins nest every summer.

The summer months of June to August offer the best weather with milder temperatures and longer days, perfect for driving out to Stórhöfði, the island's southernmost point with fantastic views over the Atlantic.

We compare prices from all major providers at Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
