Life's a journey!
All Iceland collaborates with Hertz, the world's leading vehicle renting organisation.
Iceland offers the traveller an adventure in a beautiful and rugged landscape. However, experience shows that the forces of Icelandic nature can be harsh and inhospitable, and travellers are well-advised to exercise caution and respect for the country's natural environment.

Unfortunately, there have been far too many accidents in the past few years involving foreign tourists travelling around the country. These accidents range from minor to fatal. The most common type of accident is that of hikers losing their footing on uneven terrain. The most serious injuries, however, are caused by road traffic accidents where travellers drive too fast in unfamiliar conditions and do not wear seat belts.
How to drive in Iceland - a new Hertz brochure for foreigners travelling in Iceland has been issued by Hertz for it´s customers.
How to Drive in Iceland
You need a valid driving license and credit card for authorisation to be able to drive in Iceland. Be aware of what you are covered for within your travel insurance policy before going on holiday. If you do not have travel insurance from the UK Hertz can provide extra insurances on top of the basic insurance, Collision Damage Waiver CDW, that is included in your rental. Hertz offers additional cover such as SCDW, sand/ash storm cover and more options available.
