โ—The expense of parking fees are on your own terms; please pay accordingly. If you fail to make your payments, Beast Iceland will have to charge you the charge amount with a service fee.

  1. Please be aware that usually, parking is not free within Icelandic cities/towns.

    1. Paid parking locations are marked with a "P" sign on a blue background.

    2. Free parking spots are usually marked with white lines in the city and specially designed gravel grounds in rural areas.

    3. Some cities require parking payment within a certain time period during the day.

  2. Parking at most tourist attractions along Route 1 Ring Road is free.

  3. Some popular tourist attractions, like the Thingvellir National Park and Seljalandsfoss waterfall, require you to pay for parking.

  4. Do not park on the side of any roads or streets if there are no marked or designed parking areas. This is dangerous and illegal.

  5. Payments for parking can be made through cash, credit cards, or mobile apps such as:

    1. Pre-register the car plate number on the parking app before parking.

  6. You can find parking meters or ticket machines near parking areas for cash or card payments.

    1. Make sure to put the receipt on the windshield or somewhere visible inside the car after payment.

  7. National parks and popular destinations may charge parking fees for maintenance and preservation.

  8. Unpaid tickets will result in additional charges from Beast, being put on police record, or potentially being banned from entering Iceland.
