• Platinum Insurance Plan. Go where you please with our TOP coverage, it includes all of the above, at 0 self risk.

We always recommended getting the Gold Insurance Plan (from 3,700 ISK per day) at the very least. It includes Gravel Protection (GP), which covers the windscreen and the body when gravel or rocks get thrown on, at or into the vehicle by another car. Gravel damage is the most common form of damage sustained in Iceland. Also, you’ll lower the deductible/self-risk amount with the SCDW.

For those wanting to explore the more remote corners of Iceland with total peace of mind, we recommend the Platinum Insurance Plan, which covers a wider range of damages with 0 ISK deductible/self-risk.
