Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ólafsvík?

Accepted Answer

Ólafsvík rules state drivers must be at least 20 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Ólafsvík?

Accepted Answer

Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Ólafsvík?

Accepted Answer

Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Iceland — the same side as in the States. Navigating around Ólafsvík won't be exactly the same as home, though. You'll want to brush up on the local traffic rules.

Question 10

Where can I find a Ólafsvík car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the car rental companies operating in Ólafsvík. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ólafsvík?

Accepted Answer

After carefuly planning your escape, don't skimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your Ólafsvík car rental with Expedia. There are plenty of advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency support, you'll be able to breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.

Question 12

Can I drive in Ólafsvík with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Iceland, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
