Renting a car in Isafjordur, Iceland?

[surgie]

We will be in port from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Is this enough time to rent a car and enjoy some scenic drives and a picnic? Any particular route you'd recommend? None of the ship's excursions and those elsewhere appealed to us. More interested in a day on our own. Thanks for advice.

Some research on the Northern Europe board, here:

would be beneficial.

We used a good local guide who could fit 2 -6 in her van for $700 . She took us were we wanted to go and a couple spots that we didn't know - like her huge beautiful farm . She was one of our best guides of the 8 that we used .
