Car Rental Insurance

Iceland is an incredible country to visit, and when you hire a rental car, you can explore the magnificent lands however you wish. However, the country’s unique geography and unpredictable weather can make the roads difficult to drive, so insurance is essential. 

Car insurance in Iceland

At Iceland Car Rental, all of our rental vehicles come with Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), which is equivalent to the amount stipulated by Icelandic law at any given time. This also applies to the amount of individual driver liability - now it is 2.350 EUR for all vehicle types. We strongly recommend more coverage to reduce your liability. Take into consideration that Iceland is prone to extreme weather conditions which can cause damage to your hire car. Without rental car insurance, you would have to pay for this damage out of your own money, which can be very costly. It is in the best interest of our customers to invest wisely in an insurance package that is right for your circumstances.

If you are insured through a third party insurance provider, such as a credit card or insurance company, you will first pay Iceland Car Rental for any damage. You will then get reimbursed through your insurance provider. Adding the insurance package can lower your deductible down to 0 ISK.
