AGE REQUIREMENTS FOR CAR RENTALS IN ICELAND
Age requirements for renting a car in Iceland are
similar to many other countries. While 17 is
technically the legal driving age, those under
20-years-old cannot rent a car. Looks like the
teenagers will have to convince their parents to
come along! Yet another Car Rental Requirements
Iceland is that if you are 20 years of age, you
must have held a driving permit for at least 12
months.
Renter who are under 25-years-old are subject to
additional fees, detailed by the car company, and
may incur a higher insurance cost as well. For
car renters who are looking to rent a 44
vehicle, youll need to be a minimum of
23-years-old.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED FOR RENTING A CAR AS A
TOURIST IN ICELAND?
A valid driver license that was issued either in
your home country or in the country that you
currently reside in.

• Note that not every countrys driving license is
  accepted. Youll need to have a EU/EEA, U.S., or
  Canadian license. Most Asian countries are also
  accepted as long as the license is printed in
  English.
• If the license is not printed in English, be sure
  to bring an International Drivers Permit to
  compliment your valid license.
• Third party liability insurance is required by
  law in Iceland but many car insurance companies
  include this in the price. Double check to be
  100 sure! Youll want to be fully insured while
  driving around Iceland but this is the absolute
  minimum coverage required.
• Most car rental companies require a valid credit
  card (with the renters name on) to book.
