Renting a portable Wi-Fi hotspot in Iceland is a smart move for any traveler wanting to avoid the hassle of roaming charges or unreliable local networks. This service, offered by Trawire, provides unlimited high-speed 3G and 4G internet for up to 10 devices, making it ideal for groups or families. The rental price of $67 per group (up to 10 people) is quite competitive, especially considering the convenience of having constant access to the internet during your entire stay—from the arrival at Keflavik Airport to the departure.
What I find appealing about this experience is how easy and convenient it is to pick up and return the device. The company offers central locations for pickup and drop-off—specifically at the Keflavík International Airport—that streamline the process, and the pre-stamped mailboxes mean you simply pack the device back into the same orange box and drop it off. Another plus is the value for money; for a group of friends or family, paying just $67 for reliable, unlimited data coverage for up to 4 to 100 days adds up to a cost-effective solution, especially when you compare it to roaming fees or multiple SIM cards.
However, a note of caution; some reviews highlight pickup frustrations, especially with staff not being clear or familiar with the procedure—particularly if you’re trying to do everything via email or app code. The key takeaway is that while this service offers great coverage and speed, you might want to plan ahead and read the instructions thoroughly to avoid any confusion at the airport.

Full Review: Navigating Iceland with the Pocket Wi-Fi Hotspot

When planning a trip to Iceland, one of the most practical purchases for most travelers is reliable internet access. While many enjoy seeing the majestic sights—frozen waterfalls, volcanic craters, and the midnight sun—staying connected adds a layer of freedom and safety. The rent Unlimited High-Speed pocket Wi-Fi in Iceland from Trawire offers a straightforward solution to this need, especially for those planning to go beyond Reykjavik and into less populated areas.
At $67 for up to 10 people, this service is designed with groups in mind. Imagine traveling in a small convoy, sharing a reliable connection as you explore the stunning scenery without worrying about finding Wi-Fi hotspots or racking up hefty roaming charges. You can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously, which means everyone in your party can keep their smartphone, tablet, or even laptop connected at all times. This is particularly handy for families sharing photos on social media or travelers needing GPS navigation without interruption.
One of the highlights of this service is its convenient pickup and return process. The device is available at the Keflavík International Airport, with pre-stamped mailboxes in the Departure Hall and food court for easy drop-off after your trip. This means you don’t need to visit a separate shop or worry about losing track of the device. According to a customer quote, “It is easy to return the device at the airport after your trip,” which is a small but valuable detail when you’re tired after a long journey.
That said, some reviews point out a bit of a learning curve during pickup. Several travelers experienced issues trying to use their proof of purchase or email confirmation at the airport, with staff unfamiliar with the process. For example, one reviewer mentioned a confusing 10-digit code registration requirement, which isn’t typical for similar rentals. If you’re prepared with clear instructions and have your paperwork ready, this shouldn’t be a huge problem, but it’s worth noting that early communication or arriving prepared can save some frustration.
The service is praised for its speed and reliability, with customers describing it as “very good” and “so easy to use.” The fact that these units use 4G networks means you’ll get decent speed for streaming, navigating, or uploading photos—although actual speeds can vary depending on location and network traffic.
Travelers who have used this Wi-Fi find it particularly useful outside major cities—perfect for road trips, outdoor adventures, and exploring Iceland’s rugged beauty. The reviews indicate that the device works everywhere they went, making it a dependable companion during extensive travel days.

Who Will Benefit Most?

This Wi-Fi rental is best suited for groups or families who want seamless internet access without all the fuss, especially if they’re planning to venture away from Reykjavik.

However, travelers who tend to arrive late at night or need very specific pickup times should plan for potential hiccups during the initial collection process. The non-refundable policy might also give pause for some, so it’s best to confirm dates and instructions upfront.
To sum it up, if you’re looking for a cost-effective, hassle-free way to stay connected in Iceland, this pocket Wi-Fi service is a solid choice—just give yourself a moment to familiarize yourself with the pickup procedures.
