Rules of the road, you should know, having a car in Iceland

In Iceland, there are many features of the traffic that you need to remember:

Inner light headlights should always be included;
for mobile phones and other communication devices can communicate only with a headset;
without exception, passengers should be fastened by seat belts;
the car must be: the warning installation and replacement winter tires (in the period from November 1 to April 15);
Children under 6 years of age should travel only with systems that meet their weight and height; the driver will be liable for all passengers under the age of 15 years and shall monitor the proper use of seat belts and safety;
Riding outside designated roads is prohibited.

Speed Limit

The roads in Iceland are divided into 4 types: primary, secondary, high and local. Limitations depend on the location and type of pavement:

in the village - 50 km / h;
outside of the village (gravel) - 80 km / h
All of the village (asphalt) - 90 km / h for cars and motorcycles, and 80 km / hour for vehicles with trailers.

Depending on road speed and the time of year can be limited anyway, so pay attention to the signs. In addition, on mountain roads, you can see the warning about a dangerous turn or tilt. Speed limit sign is not there, but it is abated to prevent accidents.

Fuel costs for leased cars in Iceland

Gas stations in Iceland, no. Sold only unleaded petrol 95 and diesel fuel. Prices are high, and gasoline consumption is quite high due to the road surface. A liter of 95 octane will cost 1.51 euros (225 kroons) and a liter of diesel - 1.41 euros (210 kroons).

To pay at the gas station can be in cash or by credit card. At most gas stations have only self-service system, and the calculation is made by machines.

The higher you gathered in a rented car in the mountains of Iceland, the less you will fall refills. Moreover, fuel consumption will increase. Take this into consideration in planning the route, as in Iceland to transport fuel in cans is prohibited.

I travel a lot around the world and visit different countries. I like to drive by car. You don't depend on anyone. In this respect, I always use proven providers. Recently I've booked a car and paid for it via this resource. It's helped me in Hungary, when it found a long-term rental at low price.

We traveled to Israel and were very satisfied. We drove by car, which we took in the rental agency. We reserved a car and paid for it at home, and upon the arrival we got a car, which was used without restriction. It was convenient that the required insurance were issued immediately without additional charge, as it was included in the cost.

We had a great trip to Poland. Most of the time we spent in small towns and farms. Everything was very nice and home-like. The car was rented in advance without a limited mileage. We got the required insurance package without overpaying via this site. We received a car in Warsaw without any problems.

We went to conquer the desert and flew to Dakar. We felt like real riders at the rally. We reserved the cars via this site in advance in order to get the necessary number of cars. We were pleased with a wide choice of cars, so each of us selected the car he liked. We paid for the cars directly and without fees via this resource as well. Everything was very good. In the future I'll use this portal with great pleasure.
