Can't say how fast the car is picked up. Sometimes several flights arrive at the same time, and there will be a long queue at the car pickup counter. If you plan to pick up the car after getting off the plane and then go to see the aurora, you are too naive. The aurora does not appear every day. Even if there is strong aurora forecast, you have to see whether it is sunny or few clouds on that day. Otherwise you can't see it.

F26 has been given up, thank you all, but we still have to go the No. 1 highway. Leave from the Glacier Lake at noon and stay in Husavik at night. I also admit to walking at night. Unfortunately, there is no time. I want to experience the interior highway on the last day, from Akureyri to the Golden Waterfall and Geysir on F35, and stay in Reykjavik at night. I just don't know if F35 will still be open at that time ? Iceland Q&A

Could you guys please help me? My schedule is to fly to Reykjavik at 11:25 am, pick up the car at the airport, and drive around the Golden Circle in the afternoon. I want to finish visiting the three attractions of the Golden Circle and drive to Vik town that night. Is this itinerary feasible?

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

Thank you for the reminder, it's really good advice, thank you! I'm flying in from Oslo and have been traveling in Norway before. I have a 4-night itinerary in Iceland, planning to fly in at noon and stay in Vik that night, then visit the black sand beach in the morning of the second day and go glacier hiking in the afternoon, staying at a hotel near Jokulsarlon glacier that night, visiting the ice lake and ice beach on the third day and driving back, passing through Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss along the way, staying at Selfoss that night, sightseeing in Reykjavik city and visiting the Blue Lagoon on the fourth day, staying near the airport that night, and taking an early morning flight to Stockholm on the fifth day. If I don't have time to see the attractions of the Golden Circle on the first day, is it possible to fit them in on the fourth day, or should I only choose one or two attractions of the Golden Circle, or give them up altogether? Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it ? 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 ?
