More and more Brits are taking advantage of the favorable exchange rate with Iceland and are scheduling self drive tours of the country. It’s the perfect time to hire a car since the price of petrol is cheaper in Iceland and car rental rates are down as well.

Ever since Iceland was picked by the post office as the Best Value Holiday Destination, it has seen a marked increase in British holidaymakers.  As a result of the recent surge in popularity, Iceland’s airlines will offer more flights to and from the UK in September.

The flight only takes three hours from London to Reykjavik and there are also fights in and out of Manchester as well. As fall approaches flights well begin from Glasgow.

Eli Masson, of Iceland Pro Travel, said: “We recommend to our clients that they go to Iceland this summer and autumn because of the favourable exchange rate. On our self drive tours we find that all our clients this summer have over budgeted their spending money. One pound will get you 209 krona now, but 18 months ago you would only get 130.

Iceland, Hungary, and Poland all have favorable exchange rates for British tourists.

Most of the tourism is centered in Reykjavik especially since there is a marathon there every August, but Iceland Pro Travel recommends that more people explore the car rental option in order to fully appreciate the entire country while driving around at one’s own pace.
