Hello, I would like to know how much deposit is usually required when renting a car in Reykjavik? Is it pre-authorized by credit card? Must the credit card be in the name of the driver ?

Why would it cost 350,000 krona to rent a car in Iceland in advance?

To brush pre-authorization, you can use the credit card of a fellow traveler. We used one person's card to make the deposit for two cars at the time.

I have two questions now, see who can help answer them; First, we want to drive from the airport to Oslo and Reykjavik city, walk around a few attractions, how to park in the city? How to pay for parking meters? If there is no cash on hand, can the airport swipe the card to withdraw cash? Second, I have booked some homestays in Norway and Iceland, but I estimate that I will not be able to check in until after 9 pm every day. How do the landlords usually leave the door for us to check in? It's our first time to stay, we don't know each other, and we don't know the specific location of the homestay ? Iceland Q&A

When we stopped to rest in Eysturoy, the sky was pink in the distance, like a macaron, as beautiful as a girl. More than 20 kilometers away from the destination, people who have been there all say that this mountain road is difficult to drive and will take more than an hour. I don't know how difficult it is to drive. When the car entered, I found that this short 20-kilometer experience has been unforgettable to me, and it can be described as breathtaking ? Iceland Q&A

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?
