Hotels with free parking in Iceland
Rental car parked outside a low Icelandic hotel
In Reykjavik, downtown parking runs $25 a day — here are 8 hotels across the country where parking is free, plus which Reykjavik options don’t gouge you.
Free-parking Reykjavik options
Icelandair Reykjavik Natura ($260), Fosshotel Reykjavik ($240) and Grand Hotel Reykjavik ($230) all have free lots and are a 10-15 minute walk or short bus ride from downtown. In Kopavogur, the Courtyard by Marriott ($200) and Storm Hotel ($190) both have big free lots. Skip anywhere on Laugavegur or Skolavordustigur unless you don’t have a car — hotel parking downtown is either paid ($25-35) or genuinely absent.
Outside the capital
Every rural hotel in Iceland has free parking; it's not worth ranking. But the ones with the best-lit, plough-cleared winter lots are Hotel Ranga, Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, Sel-Hotel Myvatn and Icelandair Vik. If you’re renting a big 4x4 and worried about tight lots, avoid old-town guesthouses in Isafjordur and Seydisfjordur — parking is street-side and often 200m away.
