Was the accident preventable?
Maybe I should be more specific on the route I am taking for better advise on which insurance to take. I am goin for 6 days, touring around golden circle, fludir, then klaustur in end March. Looking at a 4x4 kia sportage currently
Hi, can anyone advise on the car insurance? Which to buy?
For blue car rental, there is the 1) ash and sand coverage 2) full coverage which covers the deductible fully. The 2nd one is very expensive though

Most people spend two nights in Mývatn? Deciding if I should spend two nights in Mývatn or one more night in Reykjavík.
What about South Coast and Westman Islands? Two nights too?
Planning stage and things are still very vague. If this trip goes ahead, I will land in the morning of Day 1, drive out of Reykjavík on Day 2 and drive back to Reykjavík on Day 9. Flying out only on Day 10 afternoon.
I'm probably going late may to early june. Not really a northern lights trip.
Hi, it's possible to book everything through tour to cover all the attraction and plane crashed location and how much is the price difference compare to car rental? Do I have to book tour for The glacier hike?
You will save more on car rental...
But if u dun like to drive and plan then go by tour lor...
By renting car u just pay for the
- car rental
- petrol
- parking fee
With car rental is easy to move around base on your own timing. Iceland weather is unpredictable so if this attraction you going weather not good you can go to the other 1.
Most of the attraction is free and public can access. So no point paying more to the tour company and some of the attraction will take half day to full day just for 1 attraction. If you drive you can go more locations in 1 day.
Quite easy to drive in iceland not many cars.
Thanks a lot for the replies and the informations. For the glacier hike is it possible to access and do it without the tour?
I saw the online tour pricing was 561 sgd

Plane crash location need to hike/walk 4km one way from the nearest car park. Dont think there is a tour group has the privilege to drive there.
Unless u cant drive. No need to engage tour group to visit majority of attractions.
for Glaciers hike , probably u need guides to bring u . Dont mess with nature by yourself.
I been iceland and yet i didnt think of doing the above 2.
if u really want to save $$$. u can go to Svinafellsjokul. U cant walk on glaciers but is one of the nearest u can walk along side and view.
There is 1 tour group use ATV and fatbike..
I think is better then walking.. i give up on the plane trip cuz travelling with kids..
To some , is a must go. but for me, i wont waste my time , especially the long walking part to get there. Yes it along the way to vik and I prefer Dyrhólaey
Same as blue lagoon. is not a MUST for me.
End May/ early june and u have a long daylight hours. 10 days to travel whole ring road is doable. I did it in less than 8 days
