You DON’T want to do an Iceland road trip withou You DON’T want to do an Iceland road trip without the right insurance 😬 … Especially in the winter! Iceland’s wild weather and rugged terrain can catch even experienced drivers off guard. Here’s what you need to know: 👉🏼 CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) is mandatory in Iceland (you CAN’T deny it) but honestly, it’s just the bare minimum 👉🏼 Gravel protection is a MUST – those tiny rocks can do serious damage 👉🏼 Sand and ash protection? It’s a good add-on if you’re near beaches and volcanic areas 👉🏼 Beware of wind-damaged doors – it’s shockingly common and often NOT covered in many insurance packages!  After years of Iceland road trips, I’ve learned the hard way that skimping on insurance isn’t worth the stress. That’s why I always recommend Blue Car Rental. Here’s what I love about it 👇🏼 ✅ Most insurance is INCLUDED upfront (no surprise fees!) ✅ Their Liability Waiver covers almost EVERYTHING ✅ Transparent pricing = peace of mind Want an exclusive deal? Comment “BLUE” for a 5% discount on your Blue Car rental! 🚙 . . . . . #reykjaviklife #icelandplanning #icelandadvice #guidetoiceland #islandia #wheniniceland #tripiniceand #iceland #icelandtrip #visiteiceland #icelandblogger #icelandroadtrip #icelandic #absoluteiceland #reykjavík #reykjavikiceland #icelandicadventures #traveliniceland

Who else COULDN’T stop saying this the first tim Who else COULDN’T stop saying this the first time they visited Iceland? 🙋‍♀️ Iceland: where “Oh my god!” becomes your new catchphrase 😅 From the moment you land, this island throws one jaw-dropping scene after another at you.

So whether you’re an adventure junkie, nature lover, or just someone in need of some wonder, Iceland delivers.
