Insurance
A vehicle registered in Nordic or EU-member countries is considered to have valid auto-
mobile insurance in Iceland. If your vehicle is registered in a non-Nordic or non-EU coun-
try, you'll need a 'green card', which proves that you are insured to drive while in Iceland.
Green cards are issued by insurance companies in your home country; contact your ex-
isting insurer.
When hiring a car, check the small print; most vehicles come with third-party insurance
and collision damage waiver (CDW) to cover you for damage to the car. Also check the
excess (the initial amount you will be liable to pay in the event of an accident) as this can
be surprisingly high.
Hire vehicles are not covered for damage to the tyres, headlights and windscreen, or
damage caused to the car's underside by driving on dirt roads, through water or in ash-
or sandstorms. Many companies will try to sell you additional insurance to cover these
possibilities. You need to consider whether this is appropriate for you and your plans, and
how prepared you are to cough up in the event of such occurrences (and the cost of the
insurance versus factors such as the length of your rental and what regions you plan to
visit). There is no way of predicting what climatic conditions you might meet on your trip.
