Essential?YesNo
Pro TipCameras read your plate at many sites, and unpaid fees turn into fines forwarded through your rental company with an admin charge on top. Pay in the app before driving off, or use the on-site machine with a contactless card.Parking wardens patrol downtown Reykjavik year-round, including winter.
