We booked on line and used Alamo. We picked up the car at the airport and dropped it off there. We added the insurance but didn’t have any problems. We did not get a 4-wheel Drive and it is not necessary unless you are going in the winter or traveling off road. Roads were very easy to drive.
Q:
How long would you need to spend at the falls?
A:
If it’s just at ground level 30 mins should be adequate. If you want to reach the upper levels allocate 1& 1/2 hours to 2 hours dependent on your exploring needs.
Q:
Is it possible to visit Skogafoss in January via 4wd vehicle?
A:
The fall is very close to the ring road, so the access should be available. From the parking is only a few meters on foot to the waterfall
