Multi-month rental vehicles are typically 15-24 months old. Hertz also offers newer and older vehicles for multi-month rental. The rental fee reflects the age of the vehicle.

Any distance driven over the kilometer allowance is settled at the end of the rental period. However, the renter is prompted regularly to report the vehicle’s current mileage through hertz.is/kilometrar if the overage becomes excessive, the renter is given the option to update the general rental rate instead of paying for the overage.

If the renter wishes to increase the monthly kilometer allowance, the vehicle must be brought to a Hertz location to record the mileage and sign a new contract. The kilometer allowance has already been exceeded, the renter must pay for the overage before a new contract may be drawn up. Please confer with Hertz at vidskiptastjori@hertz.is before coming in with the vehicle for a new contract.
