Adhering to Sign Instructions
Driving conditions in Iceland can be treacherous in some areas. Iceland sees more varied weather than just ice and snow. Volcanoes and ash also come to play. Road signs are posted for driver safety and should be adhered to strictly.
Additional Safety Tips
Unless you're traveling Iceland in the summer months (June to August), you're bound to encounter snow and ice on some of the roads outside the capital. Driving in winter requires previous knowledge on driving in icy conditions and visitors who have never driven in snow should be cautious even in the shoulder seasons.
Never head out on a drive in Iceland without first checking road conditions via their official website road.is. It's also a great idea to check the weather forecast for your destination and the areas you'll be driving through. Weather in Iceland can change with the drop of a hat.
One of the best tools to use for driving on Icelandic roads is a reliable car, particularly one with 4-wheel drive if there's a chance of snow or ice. Firefly Iceland Car Rental is your best bet for inexpensive rental car options with a knowledgable and experienced staff that can help you choose the best car for your trip.
