Insurance in Iceland

All our rental cars come with Collision Damage Waiver (with 390.000 ISK driver liability excess for small cars and 490.000 driver liability excess for SUV´s and Buses). We strongly recommend more coverage which will reduce your liability. Take into consideration that Iceland is prone to extreme weather conditions which can cause damage to your hire car. Without insurance you would have to pay for this damage out of your own pocket and be left with a huge cost. 

Keep in mind that if you are insured through a third party insurance provider, such as a credit card or insurance company, you will first pay Icerentalcars for any damage and then get reimbursed through your insurance provider. Adding Silver insurance package, you can lower your excess liability to 90.000 ISK for small cars and 120.000 ISK for SUV´s and Buses, or you can add a Platinum Package to get a hassle-free vacation with 0 (Zero) ISK liability excess.
