Top tips for car hire and safe driving in Iceland

The unpredictable weather conditions in Iceland mean that driving on the island can be challenging for even the most confident, experienced drivers. These safety tips will help you to stay safe.

  • When leaving our car rental office at Keflavik airport, you must remember to drive on the right-hand side of the road during your time in Iceland
  • Use safetravel.is to check for weather conditions and safety alerts daily before heading out in your hire car
  • You should not attempt to navigate the F-roads without a suitable 4x4 vehicle. Not all the vehicles we offer are suitable to take on Iceland’s F-roads.
  • Beware of special safety signs and remember to stick to the speed limits:
    • Urban areas: 40 or 50 km/h
    • Gravel roads in rural areas: 80 km/h
    • Asphalt roads in rural areas: 90 km/h
  • Make sure you have enough fuel in your tank at all times. In the highlands of Iceland, filling stations are few and far between.
