How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ólafsvík?

Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ólafsvík?
