A very young town situated on the east side of the island, Egilstadir was only established in 1947 therefore does not have vast amount of historical sites to explore. The natural beauty of the town, however, will take your breath away. With an extensive car hire fleet we strive to make your car hire simple and fun.
The advantage of visiting such a small town is that you will be afforded a rare view of life in Iceland without the trappings of tourism which can be distracting. This is a wonderful place to have your holiday if you enjoy outdoor activities. Check out Hallormsstaoarskogur, the largest forest in the country. The lakes around Egilstadir are well known for the abundance of salmon found in them. This ensures both fresh food and great fun! If you desire to travel, your car hire from Auto Europe will allow easy access to the Skaftafell National Park to the south or Jokulsargljufur National Park to the south.
