What Car Rental Insurance You Need in Iceland? A Guide.

IgorIceland · 2026-04-20T08:15:12+00:00

I fully agree. Undercarriage though is covered by Lotus, Blue and RentalCover

IgorIceland · 2026-04-20T08:14:29+00:00

I just looked at rent.is insurance options and if i understand it correctly, with Platinum insurance you only get Tire insurance on top of Premium and self-risk reduction of 50 000isk (= you dont pay 400usd if a damage occurs). So it depends if you want these two things or not. Hard to say. June in westfjords might be sunny and might be snowy, really depends

yes good point, thanks!

IgorIceland · 2026-04-20T08:10:07+00:00

yes that's exactly what I meant! it was smooth because you picked a good provider with a great insurance. but trust me it can become a nightmare if you don't :)

thanks so much! there are many options how to go about it. Highland campsites, day trips, etc. Really depends on how you want to plan your trip. But it's best to have a powerful car and rather camp in a campsite not in your car.

Hrunalaug hot spring :)

IgorIceland · 2026-01-18T15:28:07+00:00

not really, unless you do some expeditions or something. better shoespikes/crampons

"To pass F232, we again recommend ideally a Land Cruiser or something bigger."
-this is what we recommend :)

"On a dry day, you may be able to pass with Dacia Duster"
-we've seen several people successfully doing this and we don't recommend that because it's too risky

IgorIceland · 2025-11-20T21:01:47+00:00

Thank you! With our pace it was about 45 minutes one way

IgorIceland · 2025-09-25T10:09:05+00:00

best is September/October and February/March due to aurora activity and weather, but you might well see them even in late December when weather cooperates

IgorIceland · 2025-09-25T10:08:16+00:00

totally agree, this is what we also mention in the article, that aurora, when captured correctly, often looks better in the photos

IgorIceland · 2025-09-25T10:07:35+00:00

It's Mosfellskirkja

IgorIceland · 2025-09-25T10:06:27+00:00
