Vagar car rental — FAQ
Booking early is wise, especially in summer or around holidays, when Vagar and the Faroe Islands get busy. Aim to reserve your car 4–8 weeks in advance for the best choice of vehicles and prices. Last-minute bookings are possible, but you may face higher rates or limited availability on popular categories.
Most rental suppliers in Vagar release the security deposit within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there are no new damages, traffic fines, or fuel discrepancies. Your bank or card issuer may then take a few extra days to process the release. Choosing no-deposit / no-credit-card deals can avoid this temporary hold entirely.
The excess, or deductible, is the maximum amount you pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In the Faroe Islands it typically ranges from about DKK 6,000 to DKK 15,000, depending on car class and supplier. The insurer or rental company covers costs above that. You can usually reduce or even lower the excess with optional extra protection.
Most rental desks at Vagar Airport prefer a major credit card in the main driver’s name to secure the deposit. Some may accept high-limit debit cards, but conditions vary. On Bookingcar you can filter for suppliers offering no-deposit / no-credit-card deals, which are ideal if you do not have or prefer not to use a traditional credit card.
In Vagar and across the Faroe Islands, a small car typically costs around DKK 450–700 per day, depending on season, demand, and rental length. Larger vehicles, automatics, and SUVs can be significantly more. Booking earlier and comparing several offers on Bookingcar usually helps you secure better daily rates and conditions.
At Vagar Airport (FAE), you will find international brands operating desks directly at or near the terminal. The main car rental companies available here are Hertz and Avis, offering a range of vehicles from compact cars to larger models suitable for Faroe Islands weather and road conditions throughout the year.
Bookingcar lets you compare multiple car types, mileage limits, and fuel policies from vetted suppliers in Vagar in one search. Transparent pricing, clear rental conditions, and user reviews help you avoid surprises at the counter. You can often find flexible cancellation options and special offers tailored to Faroe Islands travelers.
If you return the car late in Vagar, the rental company may charge extra hours or an additional rental day, often at a higher walk-up rate. Extended delays can also affect insurance coverage. If you realize you will be late, contact the rental operator as soon as possible to request an extension and confirm updated costs.
For visiting Vagar and the nearby airport area, popular parking options include the official Vagar Airport car parks, where you pay by ticket or machine, and marked public spaces in the nearby village of Sorvagur. Always follow local signage, respect private driveways, and avoid blocking narrow roads commonly found in small Faroese settlements.
Vagar is part of the Faroe Islands, which are surrounded by sea, so there are no land borders to cross. You are generally allowed to drive throughout the islands, including via toll tunnels, but must respect each rental company’s territorial rules. Inform the supplier at booking if you plan extensive inter-island travel, as extra fees or restrictions may apply.
Standard limits in the Faroe Islands are:
Urban areas: 50 km/h
Outside built-up areas: 80 km/h (where not otherwise signed)
Tunnels: usually 80 km/h, but check local signs
Special zones near schools, harbours or villages: may be lower, always follow posted limits
Weather and road conditions can change quickly, so drive below the limit when needed.

"I was a bit nervous about driving in the Faroe Islands, but bookingcar made it very easy at Vágar. Clear instructions, quick pickup and a clean, modern car with winter tyres. Staff gave good tips for mountain roads. Drop-off was just as smooth; highly recommended."
