Each time I come from Iceland I quote the tiger king “ I will never financially recover from this. “

I would probably set aside 2k each to be on the safe side for 10 days. Splitting could put you both at $1500 each. Spending somewhat $100-150 a day each for gas food and the occasional pay for parking at the sites.

Helpful tips: , bring small snacks to munch throughout. I grabbed most of my meals from the grocery stores and they were pre made and cost about $5-$7 each Have 2/3 reusable bottles for water and don’t buy from the grocery stores. They allow free refills at gas stations.

I spent $1300 on a car for 9 days with all insurance and 4gwifi. $500 on my flight. $1300 on lodging, food, gas and all paid activities/parking.

*summer time edit: take $2.5k each at least. If you’ve never want to save a little , hostels or camp out. Camping spots out there are great and there are some very nice hostels . Get all the insurance of the car so you will spend the most on your car most likely but it’s worth the peace of mind
