Self drive on the Faroe Islands
Car hire
The Faroe Islands has 600 km of good roads, most of which are two-lane and asphalted. Bridge, dam, ferry or helicopter connects 17 of the 18 islands. Since the arrival of the underwater tunnels on the Faroes, it is now possible to drive from the village of Gásadalur in the west to Viðareiði, the most northerly village on the Faroes.
Tunnel fees
In the Faroe Islands, there are two sub-sea tunnels for which a toll is charged: between Vagoy and Streymoy and between Eysturoy and Boray. You can pay this toll at petrol stations all over the Faroes.
