Why Is an Automatic Car Recommended for the Faroe Islands?

An automatic car is recommended for the Faroe Islands because the roads involve steep mountain climbs, single-track sections, sharp hairpins, and subsea tunnels with gradients up to 10%. Automatic transmission lets unfamiliar drivers focus on the road and weather instead of the clutch and gears.

If you haven't driven a manual car in years — or ever — don't risk it here. Read more in our Faroe Islands driving guide.

Faroese driving conditions that make automatic worth it:

Steep gradients Subsea tunnels drop to 10% inclines.
Single-track roads Frequent stops in passing places.
Hairpin turns Especially around Gjógv, Funningur, and Kalsoy.
Unpredictable weather Rain, fog, and crosswinds.
