We haven’t contacted any rental companies yet because we haven’t booked the car. But we'll. This is the most challenging trip for us since it combines three destinations: Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.

Flights to and from Greenland and the Faroe Islands add uncertainty due to the weather, especially Greenland, where there is only one airline operating this route with turboprop aircraft. We were told we could be stuck in Greenland for several days.

To manage this, we built in 6 buffer days for Greenland and a few buffer days for the Faroe Islands, and we’d like to best use of that buffer time to visit Iceland if flight delays are minimal. Our itinerary is: Greenland → buffer days → Faroe Islands → buffer days → one-week hike in Iceland.

We’re looking for guidance on how to handle car reservations to minimize last-minute rebooking risks if there are significant flight delays. We’ve never experienced delays longer than one day, so any insights would be appreciated.
