In Egilsstadir, as elsewhere in Iceland, you should operate your vehicle on the right-hand side of the road and be sure all occupants are wearing seatbelts before you leave the pick-up location. Regarding general speed limits, 50 km/h is legal in residential areas, whereas 80 km/h is permitted outside town limits and 90 km/h is the maximum speed allowed on any road. Depending on prevailing weather conditions, snow tyres and other equipment may be required, so check availability with your provider beforehand. For this and other reasons, drunk driving is strictly prohibited and carries heavy penalties. Dial 112 in cases of emergencies.
Australian citizens should produce a valid passport and domestic driver’s licence in order to obtain a car hire at Egilsstadir Airport. For Australian residents and all other internationals, we recommend holding an International Driving Permit in addition to your domestic licence, as it is regularly requested and often preferred. A major credit card or bank debit card is customary to secure payment for your vehicle.
On-street parking is generally allowed in Egilsstadir on streets marked with white lines. Always be sure to check if these streets carry time limits or signs prohibiting parking, before you leave the vehicle. Otherwise, you’ll have to park your car hire in metered parking zones, which are usually pay and display. Payment for parking in Egilsstadir can be via cash, credit/debit card or mobile apps like EasyPark and The Parka. If you’re using accommodations around town, check to see if they provide onsite parking spaces.

Pros:
Friendly, trusting and low key staff. Just what one wants in car rental agents. Very conveniently located in the tiny airport. If one is on a schedule to meet the ferry to the Faroe Islands, one can drop off the car at the Egilsstadir airport, wait for the bus which has 4 scheduled runs a day to Seydisfjordur, said bus departs right in front of the car rental so it is a perfect setup.2.0 Poor
