What Should I Do If I Get Into a Car Accident With My Rental Car in Iceland?
First, ensure everyone is safe and call 112 for emergencies. If possible, move to a safe location. Document the scene with photos, note the location, and exchange information with any other parties involved. Do not admit fault. Contact your car rental company's emergency line as soon as possible to report the incident and follow their specific instructions.

What Should I Know About Fueling My Rental Car in Iceland?
Most Icelandic gas stations are self-service and require a credit or debit card with a 4-digit PIN. Always confirm if your AEY rental car needs diesel ('Dísel') or petrol ('Bensín'). Rental agencies typically enforce a 'full-to-full' policy, so refuel near the airport before returning the car to avoid extra charges.
عرض التفاصيل
What Should I Know Before Renting a Car at Akureyri Airport (AEY)?
To ensure a smooth rental from AEY, always opt for comprehensive insurance like Gravel Protection (GP) due to Iceland's unique road conditions. Scrutinize your rental agreement for hidden fees, such as extra driver or young driver surcharges. Finally, understand the refueling policy—typically 'full-to-full'—to avoid costly refueling charges upon return. Pre-booking is highly recommended.

Akureyri Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips for exploring Iceland's northern capital and beyond

Can I use my US driver's license to drive in Iceland, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Your US driver's license is valid in Iceland for stays under one year. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and often required by rental agencies as a backup translation. The IDP costs about $20 and can be obtained from AAA offices. Without it, you may face issues at the rental counter or if stopped by police.
Do I need winter tires or snow chains in Akureyri? When are they required?
Winter tires (with studded tires common) are mandatory from November 1 to April 14 in Iceland. In Akureyri, expect ice and snow on roads throughout winter. A 4WD vehicle is highly recommended for driving beyond city limits, especially to nearby attractions like Goðafoss or Dettifoss. Rental agencies include winter tires at no extra cost but book early—availability tightens from October onward.
What are Iceland's speed limits, and how are they enforced?
In Akureyri city: 50 km/h. Gravel roads: 80 km/h. Paved highways (like Route 1/Ring Road): 90 km/h. Speed cameras are active throughout Iceland with heavy fines. A 10 km/h over the limit can cost $100-$300. Radar detectors are illegal. The speed limit signs are in km/h, so convert carefully—Americans often不自觉ly speed.
Are there gas stations everywhere in Iceland? What type of fuel do I need?
Gas stations are sparse outside Reykjavik and Akureyri—always fill up when the tank drops below half. Diesel (dísel) is common for diesel vehicles; benzín means gasoline. Most rental cars in Iceland run on diesel. Unleaded 95 is also available. Credit card works at most pumps but carrying 2,000-3,000 ISK in cash is wise for remote stations that may reject foreign cards.
What special road hazards should I watch out for in northern Iceland?
Sheep roam freely on roads nationwide—you'll see 'sheep crossing' signs constantly. Hit one and you face liability up to 500,000 ISK. F-roads (mountain tracks) require 4WD and often open only July-September. Gravel roads constitute 30% of the Ring Road—slow down to avoid windshield chips. Tunnels (like the 7.2km Vaðlaheiðavegur) charge no tolls but require headlights always on. Bridge single-lane rules: one car yields, the one on the right has priority.
How do tolls, parking, and traffic fines work in Iceland? Do rental companies add fees?
Iceland has no highway tolls. Parking in Akureyri costs 150-250 ISK/hour, paid via mobile app (Parka) or parking meters. Major violations (speeding, running red lights) are billed directly to your rental car, which means the agency holds your card for 3-5 days post-trip to cover potential fines plus a 1,500-3,000 ISK administration fee. Always photograph the car before departure.
