Insurance with GoFøroyar

When you rent a car through GoFøroyar, it is important that both you and the car owner understand the insurance arrangements.

GoFøroyar works to make car rental safe and straightforward, with clear responsibilities and guidance on what to do if damage occurs.

Cars must have valid insurance that covers rental to third parties.

The exact insurance coverage, deductible and any exclusions are defined in the insurance agreement.

Insurance for a rental is valid only when all relevant requirements and conditions have been met.

Who can rent a car?

To rent a car through GoFøroyar, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You must be at least 21 years old.
  • You must have held a valid driving licence for at least 1 year.
  • Your driving licence must be valid in the Faroe Islands and for the type of vehicle you rent.
  • You must be able to verify your identity with a valid identity document.
  • You must be registered as a renter on GoFøroyar.
  • You must accept the rental and insurance terms before booking.

Additional drivers

Only drivers who are registered and approved in the rental agreement may drive the car.

Additional drivers must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the main renter.

Special requirements for certain vehicles

Some cars may have a higher minimum age or other requirements. This may apply, for example, to high-value cars, large vehicles or special vehicle types.

These requirements must be disclosed before the booking is confirmed.

 

Section 1 – Insurance

All cars listed on GoFøroyar must have valid car insurance.

The car owner is responsible for ensuring that their insurance policy allows the vehicle to be rented out.

If your car is insured with a Faroese insurance company (for example Trygd or Betri), you should contact your insurance provider to confirm the terms for renting out your vehicle.

GoFøroyar is a platform that connects car owners and renters. Insurance agreements remain between the car owner and their insurance provider.

Section 2 – Who is covered by the insurance?

The exact insurance coverage, deductible and any exclusions are defined in the insurance agreement.

Insurance for a rental is valid only when all relevant requirements and conditions have been met.

Only drivers who are registered and approved in the rental agreement may drive the car.

Section 3 – If damage happens during a rental

If a car is damaged during a rental period, the following process normally applies:
1. The car owner reports the damage to their insurance company.
2. The insurance company handles the claim according to the owner’s insurance policy.
3. The renter may be responsible for covering the deductible depending on the rental agreement.

Each damage incident may have its own deductible depending on the insurance policy.

Section 4 – Deductible

Most car insurance policies include a deductible.

This means that when damage occurs, a part of the cost must be paid before the insurance covers the remaining amount.

The deductible amount is determined by the insurance agreement between the car owner and their insurance provider.

Section 5 – Responsibilities of the renter

When renting a car through GoFøroyar, the renter must:
– hold a valid driver’s license
– drive responsibly and follow traffic laws
– return the car in the same condition as received
– inform the owner immediately if damage occurs

Section 6 – Responsibilities of the car owner

Car owners who list their vehicles on GoFøroyar must:
– ensure the vehicle has valid insurance

– clearly communicate rental conditions to renters

Section 7 – GoFøroyar’s role

GoFøroyar is a digital platform that connects car owners and renters.

Insurance agreements and claims are handled between the car owner and their insurance provider.

GoFøroyar does not act as an insurance provider.

Security deposit

A refundable security deposit may be required when renting a car through GoFøroyar.

The deposit helps cover potential costs such as:

  • insurance deductibles
  • minor damages
  • traffic or parking fines

The deposit is returned after the rental if no issues are reported.
