I visited in September (emerging into low seasons). There were two flight options into Vagar (FAE is the airport code): 1 - Edinburgh, Scotland / 2 - Copenhagen, Denmark. These options do not fly everyday. So if you're using Kayak, etc. and there is no flight, increment your dates until you see a flight. We actually arrived via Edinburg and left via Copenhagen.
We rented from a local rental car [1]. It's a small operation. There is no specific car rental place, they will tell you where in the parking lot the car is, the car's license plate, etc. and you'll find it with the keys inside.
We found a place via AirBnB. It was like 10-15 min away from the airport, and we found the location ideal to explore the entire islands that's accessible by car (or car/ferry).
Our hosts(this was the true AirBnB experience) would prepare us freshly caught fish for breakfast. We became friends with their very playful(intelligent) Border Collie dog. And when we left they came with us to the airport to send us off and we all had a bit of a teary eye moment.
The people are rather friendly, the driving is easy and accessible and it's just a magical place. It'll become the next Iceland, IMHO. With lots of IG hipsters wanting their photos on top of one of these cliffs.
If you can, take a drone. Just be careful with the birds.
But yes, you can easily (I would recommend it) DIY your visit there.
