Iceland BMW Bike Hire....!

With the increasing problems of getting your own bike to Iceland from Scotland with the Smyril line Ferry you have the option of hiring a BMW F650GS Twin with luggage in Reykjavik from these guys.....!

I met up with Njall a fellow HP2 rider and co owner of Bikingviking when we visited Iceland in November and they seem like decent guys.....!

I've not much time for a vacation and hiring a bike in Iceland seems to be a good option for me as it's only an hour and three quarters flight from Glasgow. I know it's not the same as taking your own bike but if its a choice between not going or hiring a bike at least its another option.

Bike hire isn't cheap but Iceland is one of the few places where you get more for your £ than ever before, when we were there we were getting 180 ISK to £1 compared to 114 ISK the time before....!

Welcome to the forum icestorm, you wouldn’t happen to work for Bluemountain would you

Anyway, Bluemountain bike hire is around £100 a day according to XE currency converter, looks a good idea to me, just for a couple of days hire

Seems reasonable 18000 kon per day - 60 euro.
For a week trip that would be do-able.

It might not be the same for the bike, but I know when we've been hiring a land cruiser worked out as a pretty sensible option and cost less between two of us than a single guided tour would have been.

People have always told me that Iceland is expensive, but I honestly didnt find the area around in and around Reykjavik to be any more expensive than in and around any other capital city.

The locals are friendly and the guides that we met on the road are very helpful, even when they are fully loaded with paying punters... it's a really nice place and should be a lot of fun on a bike.
