Before driving away in Akureyri, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Akureyri, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

When hiring a car in Akureyri, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Budget. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
