Like, I-almost-didn&#8217;t-blink-for-a-week during the entire Iceland road trip kind of amazing. But the rugged, raw beauty of the country is not something to simply marvel at; it is also something to take into consideration when planning a trip, for Iceland is a land of extreme conditions (you will notice that I emphasize on that point A LOT). Volcano eruptions, sand storms, remote&nbsp;locations and unpredictable weather make for unstable conditions that need to be addressed before they even occur. One can never be too safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going on a road trip in Iceland is definitely one of those iconic, once-in-a-lifetime types of trip that you will tell your grandchildren about &#8211; but if you want to be alive to tell the tale 40 years from now, you better read&nbsp;these tips very carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id11197_30ac27-97 alignnone has-theme-palette8-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11197_c2006b-d6 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.4\"><br>+<br>iceland travel tips<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11197_290065-44{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11197_290065-44 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11197_290065-44 inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/day-trips-from-reykjavik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visiting Iceland without a car \u2013 day trips from Reykjavik<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Be prepared for one-lane bridges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because even though Iceland is now on its way to becoming a major tourist destination, it isn&#8217;t exactly familiar with traffic jams.

If you travel by car you really don&#8217;t have an excuse not to carry numerous layers, which should always include: rain-jacket, wind-stopper, scarf, long-sleeve wool sweater and thick socks. Possibly thermals if you are going hiking, diving or snorkeling. In Iceland, you NEVER know what the weather will turn out to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Get out of the car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s something utterly exhilarating about making unexpected stops during a road trip &#8211;some would even argue that those leaps of faith are the whole point of road trips&#8211;&nbsp;whether it&#8217;s for exploring&nbsp;an elf&#8217;s cave, admiring puffins or interacting with locals (of the human or animal kind).

Too many people forget that this is a land of storms, volcanoes, and harsh conditions, all of which are highly unforeseeable and to which most visitors are not accustomed to.&nbsp;It&#8217;s always better to be safe than sorry, so why not send your itinerary over to <a href=\"http:\/\/SafeTravel.is\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SafeTravel.is<\/a> just in case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Get a large capacity SD card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Never underestimate the number of photos you will take in Iceland, even from inside the car. The scenery is incredible everywhere you look, and you will end up taking over 200 photos every day (true story). The last thing you want is to fill up your SD card before you reach your final destination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Plan for the appropriate car<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-21653 size-full is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147.jpg\" alt=\"glaciers in Iceland - Iceland Road Trip\" class=\"wp-image-21653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Inside Langj\u00f6kull<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you think you can wing Iceland with a compact economy car, chances are you could, but you won&#8217;t get to enjoy half of the sights. Unless you have a 4&#215;4 you won&#8217;t be allowed on F-Roads (in the Highlands), and unless you have a powerful engine you will struggle on mountainous roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth pointing out that since&nbsp;Iceland is technically in Europe, automatic transmission isn&#8217;t the norm. If you really can&#8217;t drive a stick, make sure to request an automatic car far in advance as they tend to go quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Plan for expensive car rental insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Car rental will definitely take up the largest chunk of your budget; this is partly because of the crazy insurance&nbsp;policies&nbsp;required in Iceland. Where else in the world do you have to be insured against sandstorms, volcanic eruptions, gravel road&nbsp;<em>and<\/em> ash damages?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My tip: call your credit card\/life insurance provider before you leave on your Iceland road trip and have them send you a list of what your insurance covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t: Drive like an asshole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I get it. Iceland is astonishingly pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don&#8217;t be a moron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t stop in the middle of the road; that&#8217;s what shoulders are for. Don&#8217;t take your eyes off the road to point at something or worse yet, take photos (I&#8217;ve seen that). Don&#8217;t drive like the roads belong to you, and that you are the only one there &#8212; because it&#8217;s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id11197_310b10-c0 alignnone has-theme-palette8-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11197_76d8ba-54 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.4\"><br>+<br>iceland travel tips<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11197_a493a0-3f inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/south-iceland-road-trip-7-day-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Iceland road trip: my 7-day itinerary<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t: Book accommodation on the fly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll say it again: Iceland may be on everyone&#8217;s lips, but the tourism offer just doesn&#8217;t match demand at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren&#8217;t that many hotels or inns in the country (I mainly stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icelandhotelcollectionbyberjaya.com\/en\/hotels-by-brands#hotel-edda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edda Hotels<\/a>, for example), and most of them are only open during the summer season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan your accommodation as early as possible to save money and ensure you&#8217;ll have a place to sleep; but if being tied down to an itinerary isn&#8217;t your thing, you can always rely on camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t: Forget stocking up on petrol cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like hotels are few and far between, the same can be said about petrol stations.
