Information about Iceland

BACKGROUND

Settled by Norwegian and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th centuries A.D., Iceland boasts the world's oldest functioning legislative assembly, the Althing, established in 930. Independent for over 300 years, Iceland was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark. Fallout from the Askja volcano of 1875 devastated the Icelandic economy and caused widespread famine. Over the next quarter century, 20% of the island's population emigrated, mostly to Canada and the US. Limited home rule from Denmark was granted in 1874 and complete independence attained in 1944. The second half of the 20th century saw substantial economic growth driven primarily by the fishing industry. The economy diversified greatly after the country joined the European Economic Area in 1994, but Iceland was especially hard hit by the global financial crisis in the years following 2008. Literacy, longevity, and social cohesion are first rate by world standards.

LOCATION

Northern Europe, island between the Greenland Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, northwest of the United Kingdom

DRIVING IN ICELAND

1. Important Basics
In Iceland, you drive on the right. Numerous country roads only have a gravel surface, and seat belts and headlights are always a must.
Many Icelandic car rental agencies do not allow rental cars on unsecured mountain/highland roads.

2. Speed Limits
Icelandic speed limits are 50 km/h in towns (e.g. in Reykjavik), 80 km/h on gravel country roads, and 90 km/h is the limit on hard-surfaced roads.

3. Safety Regulations
Put on seat belts and switch on the headlights, both are obligatory. Adjust your speed to the conditions of the gravel roads and move to the side . Note that driving off roads or marked tracks isn't allowed in Iceland, just like using cell phones while driving.

4. Alcohol
There might as well not be a word for "drunk driving" in Icelandic. The police heavily enforce alcohol-free driving, and you can quickly lose your license with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 promille.

5. Documents for Driving
You will need your driving license, passport, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. Note that foreigners have to be 21 to rent a car (25 to rent off-road Jeeps) in Iceland.

6. Emergency Assistance
In all parts of Iceland, call "112" to reach Iceland Police, as well as ambulances and fire department. In the Reykjavik area, "1770" calls a doctor to medical emergencies.

No fuss, sensible delivery date which was kept despite several strikes / port closures which Simon managed to navigate around, well done !

We needed some urgent client paperwork collected from our offices at 7pm at night and delivered to Manchester at 8am the next day. We called Barrington Freight and they organised it for us. We were kept well informed at all times and their price was very modest. We would like to thank Matt and Simon for all their help.
