That&rsquo;s a disorienting position to be in when you&rsquo;re on a small island group with a ferry to catch.<\/p>\n<p>The Faroe Islands tunnel fees apply to four specific tunnels on the islands. They&rsquo;re not optional, they&rsquo;re not always obvious, and if you&rsquo;re a tourist in a rental car, you need to understand how registration and payment work before you drive. This guide explains everything.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"htf-tldr\">\n<div class=\"htf-tldr-label\">Short answer<\/div>\n<p>Four tunnels in the Faroe Islands charge a fee: Leynatunnilin, Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin (North Islands), Eysturoy&aacute;rtunnilin, and Sandoy&aacute;rtunnilin. Payment is <strong>not at a traditional toll booth<\/strong> &mdash; you register your vehicle&rsquo;s licence plate at <strong>faroeislands-tunnel.com<\/strong> before driving, or pay via SMS after crossing. Rental cars may be pre-registered by the agency &mdash; always verify. Fees run approximately 105&ndash;160 DKK per crossing depending on the tunnel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"htf-toc\">\n<div class=\"htf-toc-label\">In this guide<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#s1\">Which tunnels charge a fee<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s2\">How the payment system works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s3\">Quick-reference fee table and registration checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s4\">What happens if you don&rsquo;t pay<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s5\">Rental cars: what to check before driving<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s6\">Free tunnels vs paid tunnels &mdash; the full list<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s7\">Mistakes we made<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s8\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#s9\">A final word from Rovaniemi<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"s1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_tunnels_in_the_Faroe_Islands_charge_a_fee\"><\/span>Which tunnels in the Faroe Islands charge a fee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Faroe Islands have more than 20 tunnels in total &mdash; most of them free, cut through basalt mountains that would otherwise make road connections between islands impossible or absurdly long by ferry. Four, however, are subject to the toll system, primarily because they are newer, longer, or subsea crossings that required exceptional investment to build.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_four_paid_tunnels\"><\/span>The four paid tunnels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leynatunnilin<\/strong> &mdash; connects T&oacute;rshavn with the Ley&#240;in area of Eysturoy. Opened 2020. One of the first tunnels to introduce electronic payment. This is the one most tourists hit first without expecting it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin<\/strong> &mdash; connects Eysturoy with Bor&#240;oy and onward to the North Islands. A long subsea tunnel with a traffic circle inside, at sea level, under the water, connecting three directions. One of the more surreal driving experiences in Europe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eysturoy&aacute;rtunnilin<\/strong> &mdash; the main crossing serving the Eysturoy side of the North Islands spur connection. Part of the same tunnelling project that opened travel to the outer islands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sandoy&aacute;rtunnilin<\/strong> &mdash; the newest, connecting Sandoy island to the main island of Streymoy, effectively replacing the Sandoy ferry. Opened 2023 and the most recently added to the fee system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_these_four_specifically\"><\/span>Why these four specifically<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The older tunnels &mdash; including the S&oslash;rvagstunnilin between Streymoy and V&aacute;g&oacute;y (the airport island) and the older mountain tunnels &mdash; are free, funded through general Faroese taxation. The four paid tunnels are part of a public-private partnership that requires direct user fees to service construction debt. Once that debt is repaid, they are expected to become free, as happened with some earlier crossings.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Faroe_Islands_tunnel_payment_system_works\"><\/span>How the Faroe Islands tunnel payment system works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is where tourists consistently get confused, because there is <strong>no traditional toll booth with a barrier<\/strong>. You don&rsquo;t stop, hand over cash, and drive through. The system is fully electronic: your vehicle&rsquo;s licence plate is scanned as you pass, and payment must be either pre-registered or confirmed by SMS within a short window after crossing.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_1_Register_in_advance_at_faroeislands-tunnelcom\"><\/span>Option 1: Register in advance at faroeislands-tunnel.com<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the method we recommend for any tourist driving their own vehicle or a rental car not already registered by the agency. Before you arrive &mdash; or at minimum before you drive &mdash; go to <strong>faroeislands-tunnel.com<\/strong>, enter your vehicle&rsquo;s licence plate and a credit card, and set up a pre-pay account. Each tunnel crossing is then automatically deducted as you pass. No action required at the tunnel itself. The site is available in English. Registration takes about five minutes. Pre-loading 500&ndash;1,000 DKK covers most touring itineraries comfortably.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_2_SMS_payment_after_crossing\"><\/span>Option 2: SMS payment after crossing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you pass through a paid tunnel without a pre-registered account, the system sends a text message to the phone number registered with your vehicle. For rental cars, this typically means the agency&rsquo;s number, not yours. The agency may or may not forward the charge to you &mdash; and many don&rsquo;t, then bill your credit card weeks later with an administration fee that can be 2&ndash;3x the original tunnel cost. Register in advance.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_3_Pay_at_a_registered_service_point\"><\/span>Option 3: Pay at a registered service point<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A handful of petrol stations on the islands are listed as official payment locations where you can pay tunnel fees in person. This works but requires knowing which stations are registered and proactively seeking them out. For a touring itinerary, it is the least convenient option.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick-reference_fee_table_and_registration_checklist\"><\/span>Quick-reference fee table and registration checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use this before you drive.

If you don&rsquo;t pay, the agency receives the invoice and charges your credit card &mdash; usually with an additional administration fee of 150&ndash;250 DKK per incident, significantly more than the original tunnel fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal vehicles registered in the Faroe Islands:<\/strong> Non-payment triggers a penalty notice to the registered owner, escalating to debt collection if ignored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreign-registered personal vehicles:<\/strong> The Faroese system has bilateral agreements with some countries for cross-border enforcement. This is a developing area. For rental car tourists, agency liability makes this largely moot &mdash; the agency will charge you regardless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"htf-pull\">The tunnel fee system isn&rsquo;t complicated once you know it exists. The problem is that most tourists discover it while already driving through a tunnel.<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"s5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rental_cars_in_the_Faroe_Islands_what_to_check_before_driving\"><\/span>Rental cars in the Faroe Islands: what to check before driving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This section is the one we wish existed when we landed in V&aacute;g&oacute;y and picked up our keys. Ask these questions &mdash; in writing, by email if possible &mdash; before you drive:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Is the licence plate pre-registered at faroeislands-tunnel.com under an agency account?<\/strong> If yes, tunnel fees will be charged to the agency and then to you as a line item on your final invoice. Ask what their per-crossing rate and admin fee structure is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Or am I expected to register the plate myself?<\/strong> Some agencies issue the car and leave registration entirely to the renter. In this case, create an account at faroeislands-tunnel.com using the vehicle&rsquo;s Faroese plate before your first tunnel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the agency&rsquo;s administration fee for tunnels billed through them?<\/strong> Numbers vary significantly between agencies &mdash; ask explicitly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Which paid tunnels will my itinerary require?<\/strong> If you share your planned route, most agents can tell you exactly which paid crossings you&rsquo;ll encounter. Faroese rental staff generally know the islands well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_tunnels_vs_paid_tunnels_%E2%80%94_the_full_picture\"><\/span>Free tunnels vs paid tunnels &mdash; the full picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because the paid tunnels sit alongside a much larger network of free tunnels, it helps to understand which crossings cost money before you plan.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Paid (see section 1 above):<\/strong> Leynatunnilin, Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin, Eysturoy&aacute;rtunnilin, Sandoy&aacute;rtunnilin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free:<\/strong> S&oslash;rvagstunnilin (Streymoy&ndash;V&aacute;g&oacute;y, including the airport connection), the older mountain tunnel near Leira on Streymoy, Klaksv&iacute;k tunnel spurs, and all smaller mountain tunnels throughout the island chain<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future tunnels:<\/strong> A planned subsea tunnel connecting S&uacute;&#240;uroy to the main network is in early planning as of 2026. The S&uacute;&#240;uroy ferry from T&oacute;rshavn remains the only connection for now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your Faroe Islands itinerary stays on Streymoy and Eysturoy using older mountain tunnels, you may not encounter a paid crossing at all. Most visitors heading north to Klaksv&iacute;k or west to Sandoy will use at least one paid tunnel, and a loop through the North Islands will use two or three.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mistakes_we_made_%E2%80%94_and_what_wed_do_differently\"><\/span>Mistakes we made &mdash; and what we&rsquo;d do differently<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Not asking the rental agency about tunnels at pickup.<\/strong> We assumed the car came with some kind of toll registration, like a highway vignette in Central Europe. It didn&rsquo;t work that way. Staff were helpful once we asked, but we asked too late &mdash; after we&rsquo;d already passed one paid tunnel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming the SMS system would reach us.<\/strong> The text goes to the number registered with the vehicle, which is the agency&rsquo;s number. We never saw any message. The charge appeared on our credit card three weeks later, with an administration fee added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driving the North Islands tunnel without checking the fee first.<\/strong> The Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin is the most expensive crossing and catches people off-guard because it&rsquo;s such a spectacular drive &mdash; you&rsquo;re completely focused on the underwater roundabout. The fee is the last thing on your mind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not reading the faroeislands-tunnel.com site in advance.<\/strong> The site is genuinely clear and well-translated. Five minutes on it before the trip would have saved us confusion and an admin fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not budgeting for return crossings.<\/strong> Each direction is a separate fee. If you drive to Klaksv&iacute;k and back, that&rsquo;s two North Islands tunnel crossings at ~160 DKK each &mdash; 320 DKK for a day trip. Small in context, but worth knowing in advance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thinking it would sort itself out.<\/strong> It did sort itself out, just expensively. The Faroe Islands are small and the tunnel system is automated and efficient. There is no ambiguity about whether you owe the fee &mdash; only about whether you pay it the cheap way or the expensive way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"s8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions_about_Faroe_Islands_tunnel_fees\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions about Faroe Islands tunnel fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"htf-faq\">\n<details>\n<summary>How do I pay the Faroe Islands tunnel fee?<\/summary>\n<p>The main method is to register your vehicle&rsquo;s licence plate and a credit card at faroeislands-tunnel.com before driving. Each crossing is then automatically deducted. If you don&rsquo;t pre-register, a payment link is sent by SMS to the number associated with the vehicle &mdash; for rental cars, this is usually the agency&rsquo;s number, not yours.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are all tunnels in the Faroe Islands paid?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Most tunnels are free, including the main Streymoy&ndash;V&aacute;g&oacute;y tunnel (airport connection). Only four specific tunnels charge a fee: Leynatunnilin, Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin, Eysturoy&aacute;rtunnilin, and Sandoy&aacute;rtunnilin. All others are free with no registration required.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much do Faroe Islands tunnel fees cost in 2026?<\/summary>\n<p>Approximately 105&ndash;160 DKK per crossing per direction for a standard passenger car. The Noro&#240;oy&aacute;rtunnilin (North Islands tunnel) is the most expensive at around 160 DKK. Each direction counts separately, so a return trip doubles the cost.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do rental cars in the Faroe Islands include tunnel fee registration?<\/summary>\n<p>It depends on the rental agency. Some pre-register their fleet at faroeislands-tunnel.com and add tunnel fees to your final invoice. Others leave registration to the renter. Ask your agency explicitly before you drive &mdash; ideally by email before you pick up the car.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens if I drive through a paid tunnel without paying?<\/summary>\n<p>Your licence plate is recorded and an invoice is generated. For rental cars, this goes to the agency, which then charges your credit card &mdash; usually with an additional administration fee on top of the tunnel charge. Paying in advance is always cheaper than being invoiced after the fact.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I pay the Faroe Islands tunnel fee with cash?<\/summary>\n<p>No. There are no staffed cash toll booths at the tunnels. The system is entirely electronic &mdash; either pre-registration online or SMS-based post-crossing payment. Some petrol stations on the islands can process payments in person, but this requires you to proactively find them.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"s9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_final_word_from_Rovaniemi\"><\/span>A final word from Rovaniemi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We live in a place where infrastructure is a daily negotiation with geography. In Finnish Lapland, roads close in blizzards, rivers flood spring access routes, and driving to the next town sometimes means checking whether the road is actually open before you leave. So when we landed in the Faroe Islands and drove through tunnels literally cut through mountainsides into the sea floor, we felt a certain kinship with the engineering ambition involved.<\/p>\n<p>The tunnel fee system is a small administrative detail in a trip that will otherwise demand all your attention &mdash; the green cliffs, the puffins on Mykines, the single-track roads with sheep that haven&rsquo;t read the highway code, the way the weather changes every twenty minutes. Sort the tunnel fee registration before you arrive, ask your rental agency two direct questions at pickup, and then forget about it entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The Faroe Islands deserve your full attention. Don&rsquo;t let a 160 DKK tunnel fee be the thing you remember most.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"htf-bio\">\n<div class=\"htf-bio-avatar\">J&amp;A<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"htf-bio-tag\">Written by<\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Joona_Alla\"><\/span>Joona &amp; Alla<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A Finnish-Ukrainian couple living in Rovaniemi, Finland.
