You can also contact the car rental company directly by clicking on 'Inquire about this car.' Please note that extra charges may incur for dropping the car off at another location.
What type of car is recommended to visit the region of Lake Myvatn?
Since North Iceland usually has heavy snow in winter, we highly recommend renting a 4WD. In summer, a two-wheel-drive vehicle is sufficient unless you want to drive to locations in the Highlands, such as Askja.
Is it easy to find parking in Akureyri, Iceland?
Yes, generally, parking is relatively easy to find in Akureyri. Despite being called the "capital" of the North, it has a population of just under 20,000 people, and the downtown area is not nearly as big or crowded as the one in Reykjavik.
However, be mindful that if you're staying at a hotel in the center of Akureyri, it is not guaranteed that they'll offer parking for their guests. So you might have to pay for street parking or find a free parking spot slightly outside the downtown.
