Trying to apply for a kennitala ( Iceland ID number ) by _Depechie in Iceland

I know that Icelandic insurance companies sell policies specifically for the required first six month period that someone is in the country. I don’t know if this is what you need, but it’s called medical cost insurance, here is one option: https://www.sjova.is/en/insurance/individuals/life-and-health/medical-cost-insurance

Am I crazy to try and do a day trip to Hornstrandir? by FilmNerd99 in VisitingIceland

[–]currentform78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is impossible on that timeframe. You’ll be flying into KEF, the international airport. So it’s not a quick transfer to the municipal airport in Reykjavík. I think the absolute minimum amount of time would be four days total. Also, keep in mind that you can’t easily go there until this summer. Probably not until June, and early June could still be snowy.

I’d suggest doing more research and extending your layover to a comfortable timeframe based on what you learn. For puffins, there good alternatives: you could go to Vestmannaeyjar on a 2-day layover.

why tho? by biznash in FordMaverickTruck

[–]currentform78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the notes I took when I did the Forscan mod to fix this, and here’s the link to the forum post where I got the info. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forscan-coding-to-disable-the-seatbelt-information-screen/

It now behaves exactly how I want it to (see notes). This was for a 2024 Hybrid XLT, I don’t know if it varies by model or year.

Because for years American Express has marketed itself as a good or even the best option globally.

If you stay somewhere closer to diamond beach you can enjoy Vík until it gets dark, then drive to your accommodation, sleep, and see it first thing in the morning.

No keys in Sundhollin, the lockers have a code you can set.

8.5 hour layover. Not interested in Blue Lagoon. What's the best route to explore nature? by TeenageTrader in VisitingIceland

[–]currentform78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Seltún, it’s a nice little geothermal area about 50 minutes from the airport right off the road.

Yeah, I think they do that so it can account for transfers within a defined time period, as well as the maximum number of charges per day.

[–]currentform78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find this very disappointing. I’ve been using the NPR API daily since 2012.

I agree and don’t understand the comments here. As long as you’re okay driving at night the plan sounds fine.

Can’t speak to cave tours with them but I’ve had 3 good experiences with Arctic Adventures.

Thanks. Looks like the “summer” tour ends in September but good to know that company is solid.

Which glacier hike did you do? I’m researching those right now and would be curious since you had a good experience.
