Vestmannaeyjar Airport, Iceland & Car Hire Benefits

The Westland Islands

Vestmannaeyjar Airport (IATA: VEY) is the primary airport serving the Vestmannaeyjar, also known as the Westman Islands. Located off the south coast of Iceland, this archipelago is renowned for its unique volcanic landscapes, rich birdlife, and significant cultural heritage.

Distance from the Town: The airport is conveniently situated approximately 2 km from the main town of Vestmannaeyjabær, a mere few minutes' drive.

Car Hire Benefits:

  1. Unrestricted Exploration: By hiring a car with Rhinocarhire at Vestmannaeyjar Airport, travellers gain the flexibility to explore the islands more deeply, beyond the commonly trodden paths.

  2. Tailored Experience: A range of vehicle options ensures that whether you're looking for a cozy compact car or something more rugged for challenging terrains, Rhinocarhire has got you covered.

  3. Comfort & Privacy: The weather in Iceland can be quite unpredictable. Having a private vehicle allows you to stay comfortable, irrespective of sudden weather changes.

  4. Time Efficiency: While the islands aren't vast, having a car ensures that you maximize your time, visiting multiple sites in a single day.

  5. Economical Travel: Especially for those traveling in groups or families, car rental can often prove more cost-effective than other transport modes.

Recommended Routes & Attractions: Embarking from Vestmannaeyjabær, several exciting locations beckon:

  • Eldfell Volcano: A relatively young volcano, its 1973 eruption is still fresh in the memory of locals. A short drive and hike will lead you to panoramic views from its summit.

  • Sæheimar Aquarium: Located in the town itself, it's a hub for learning about local marine life and the island's puffin population.

  • Museum of Remembrance: A touching tribute to the 1973 eruption, detailing the event and its impact on the islanders.

  • Heimaey Stave Church: This wooden church, a gift from Norway, is a tranquil spot reflecting the deep historical ties between the two nations.

Driving Tips: In Vestmannaeyjar, roads can be narrower and more winding than on mainland Iceland. Always stay alert, drive cautiously, and respect local speed limits. The weather can change quickly, so always be prepared and perhaps keep some warm clothing and snacks in the vehicle. As always, ensure you check the weather and road conditions, even for short trips, to guarantee safe and enjoyable travels. Remember, in such remote areas, it's wise to fuel up whenever you come across a fueling station.
