What Should I Do If I Have an Accident in My Rental Car in Iceland?

First, ensure everyone is safe and call 112 for emergency services if needed. Then, contact your EGS airport rental car company immediately. Document the scene with photos and fill out the European Accident Statement form found in your glove box. Do not leave the scene without gathering all necessary information and reporting the incident.

What Should I Know About Fueling a Rental Car in Iceland?

Most gas stations in Iceland are self-service and may be unmanned, requiring a credit or debit card with a PIN. Always double-check if your rental from EGS takes diesel or gasoline (bensin) to avoid costly errors. Many rental companies offer a full-to-full fuel policy, so be sure to refuel before returning your car.

What Should I Know Before Renting A Car At Egilsstadir Airport (EGS)?

Renting at EGS is simple with in-terminal desks. Before you book, verify your insurance coverage; your credit card may offer protection, but Iceland's specific gravel and sand/ash waivers are often recommended. Be aware of potential hidden fees for young drivers, GPS units, or one-way drop-offs. Always confirm the fuel policy—'full-to-full' is standard and helps you avoid high refueling surcharges upon return.

What Insurance Do You Need For A Rental Car At Egilsstadir Airport (EGS) For A Safe Iceland Road Trip?

For a safe trip from EGS, your rental should include a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). We highly recommend adding Gravel Protection (GP) for unpaved roads and Sand and Ash Protection (SAAP), especially for South Coast travel. These cover common Icelandic road hazards and ensure peace of mind.

Iceland Self-Drive FAQ

Essential car rental and driving tips for exploring Egilsstadir and East Iceland

Can I drive in Iceland with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

US license holders can drive in Iceland for stays under 90 days, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. The IDP translates your license into 10 languages and is required by most rental agencies, especially during peak season (June–August). You can get an IDP at any AAA office for about $20—don't risk being turned away at the counter.

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Iceland, and how much is the young driver surcharge?

The minimum age is typically 20–23 depending on the rental company, and for drivers under 25, expect a surcharge of $10–$25 USD per day. Some agencies in Egilsstadir charge even higher rates for drivers under 25 during winter months. If you're under 23, budget an extra $150–$400 for a week-long rental just for the young driver fee.

Do I need a 4WD in East Iceland, and what about F-roads?

Yes—a 4WD is highly recommended for East Iceland, especially if you plan to explore Egilsstadir's surrounding highlands. Route 1 (Ring Road) is paved and fine with any vehicle, but F-roads (mountain tracks) are closed to 2WD and require a 4WD with high clearance. These roads typically open in late June and close around September. Driving a 2WD on an F-road voids your insurance entirely.

How are gas stations and fuel prices in East Iceland?

Fuel in Iceland is expensive—currently around $2.20–$2.70 USD per liter (~$8.50–$10.30 per gallon). Around Egilsstadir, gas stations are sparse; fill up before heading into rural areas. Most stations accept credit cards at the pump. Diesel is usually slightly cheaper than gasoline. The N1 chain is the most widespread in East Iceland.

What winter driving precautions are essential near Egilsstadir?

Winter (October–April) brings black ice, snowstorms, and near-zero visibility. Studded winter tires are mandatory—rental companies in Egilsstadir include them in the price but confirm this at booking. Pack emergency supplies: blanket, flashlight, snack, and a charged power bank. Check road conditions daily at road.is before any drive. Driving in fog on unpaved roads near Egilsstadir is extremely dangerous—reduce speed to under 50 km/h.

Are there toll roads or bridge fees in East Iceland, and how do I pay?

Iceland has no highway tolls on Route 1, and East Iceland has no bridge tolls. However, the only toll road in Iceland is the Vestfjords tunnel (not near Egilsstadir). Your main ongoing costs are parking in towns—Egilsstadir has free street parking but limited spaces in summer. Use parking apps where available, or pay at meters with a credit card.
