Available payment options

For seamless payment of your booking, we accept a range of credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, and American Express. Important Notice: When collecting your hired car, please be prepared to present a credit card as debit cards may not be accepted for such transactions.

When renting a car in Iceland, understanding the specifics of car rental insurance and the deposit requirements is essential for a hassle-free experience. Iceland's unique terrain demands comprehensive coverage to safeguard against potential damages.

Speed limitations

Understanding speed limits while driving in Iceland is crucial for both safety and legality. In general, Iceland's speed regulations are designed to match the varied landscapes and weather conditions drivers may encounter.

It's important to remember that weather conditions can drastically affect driving. Iceland is known for its sudden weather changes, and speed limits should be considered as maximums under ideal conditions. In cases of fog, heavy rain, snow, or ice, drivers must reduce speed accordingly to maintain safety. Always watch for speed limit signs and adjust your speed as needed to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey through Iceland's breathtaking landscapes.

Be careful on the road. Fines in Iceland are quite high.

Traffic violation fines in Iceland are enforced strictly to maintain safety and discipline on the roads. The fines can vary greatly depending on the severity of the violation.

These fines emphasize Iceland’s commitment to road safety, deterring behaviors that could compromise it.

Average price of petrol and diesel in Iceland

In Iceland, the cost of petrol and diesel often reflects the country's isolated location and the high taxes imposed on fuel. As of the latest update, prices can significantly vary but are typically high. For instance:

These costs underscore the financial implications of driving in a country with staggering natural beauty.

Toll highways

In Iceland, the vast and captivating landscapes are traversed by a network of highways and toll roads, connecting travelers to its natural wonders. Unlike many countries, Iceland has minimal toll roads, with the notable exception of the Hvalfjörður Tunnel – a shortcut beneath a deep fjord that significantly cuts travel time. The Ring Road (Route 1) encircles the island, serving as the main artery through breathtaking scenery, from glaciers and mountains to coastal vistas. Paying attention to weather conditions is crucial, as Iceland's environment can dramatically affect travel.

Extra charge for car return in other city

For those intending to leave their rental in a city not the same as Iceland, checking the "return to another place" will provide relevant options. Search outcomes will show only those companies offering this flexibility, with the one-way fare included in the price.

Is it possible to travel outside the Iceland?

When renting a car in Iceland, intending to cross international borders, it's crucial to check the rental company's policy in advance. Most rental agreements in Iceland strictly prohibit taking vehicles out of the country, primarily due to insurance limitations and the potential for additional wear and tear.

For those planning tours that include neighboring countries, consider alternatives such as:

Always communicate your travel plans with the rental agency to ensure compliance with their policies and to avoid unexpected fees or complications.
