Excluded are any damages not covered by insurances as stated in Article 29 and 32 in the Rental Agreement and terms and conditions.

Keep in mind that this is not extra insurance but an option for our renters to waive their liability in case of any damages to the rental car during the rental time. This allows our renters to have a carefree experience with Blue Car Rental while enjoying our beautiful island.

If you need that extra bit of space for your camping gear and luggage it´s ideal to rent a roof box. The roof boxes we offer is a Thule Pacific 200. They are 410 liters with a dimension of 175x85x45 and can carry 50 kg. Only available for 7 seated vehicles. Rates per day are 3.500 ISK

It really depends on the car you are renting. The golden rule is that if you are renting the smallest option you can fit 2-3 medium sized luggage, medium-sized options carry 3-4 luggage and the larger options carry 4-5 luggage. This of course also depends on the size and shape of the luggage.

Keep in mind that when you rent a 7 seated vehicle and you have 7 passengers the luggage space is a lot lesser, so you only fit around 2-3 medium sized luggage depending on the size of the rental car.

Our 9 seated options, however, fit 8 pieces of luggage – no matter how many passengers!

For more information and pictures of the rental cars and the luggage space for estimation click here.

All our rental cars are equipped with studded winter tires from 1st of November until the 15th. of April each year. Studded tires are not allowed on a different period according to Icelandic laws and regulations.

Please be prepared for farm animals grazing by the roadside and straying into or crossing the road. Drivers who cause injury or death to such animals may be liable to claims for compensation.

Off-roading is strictly forbidden in Iceland. The amazing Icelandic nature is sensitive so let´s treat it gently and with respect. F-Road and Off-road driving is not the same.

Before crossing a river or a water make sure that no other route is possible! Be extremely careful when crossing rivers or water as it can be dangerous and the simplest mistake can drown the car. Keep in mind that damages caused by water or river crossing aren´t covered by insurances.

When driving in the country you will come across blind crests. Some of them are without any markings at all. Many of them however, are marked with the warning sign "OTHER DANGER" above the word "BLINDHÆÐ" (BLIND CREST). Please show extra caution when crossing blind crests.

Please drive extra carefully on gravel roads. Many roads outside the urban areas in Iceland are gravel roads. The speed limit is lower on gravel roads for a good reason. Please slow down.

Many bridges are too narrow to allow more than one car to cross at a time. Before entering one lane bridges please slow down and make sure that another vehicle coming from the opposite direction is not entering the bridge.

The general speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on gravel roads in rural areas and 90 km/h on hard-surfaced roads. Please note: special warning signs indicate danger ahead, such as sharp bends, narrow bridges, blind hill but there is generally no separate sign to reduce speed.

Beware of getting too tired at the wheel. Iceland may look small on a map of the world, but distances that seem short on the map may take a long time to cover by car. So please take long journeys in easy stages and enjoy them to the full.

It is forbidden to drive a motor vehicle in Iceland after drinking alcoholic beverages.

Stopping the car on the side of the road can be dangerous and should be avoided unless there is an emergency. Please note: Stopping the car on the middle of the road for photo shooting can be extremely dangerous. Choose your photo locations carefully.

The driver is responsible that all children in the car use appropriate child seats. Blue Car Rental has top of the line child seats for rent.

Seat belts are mandatory in Iceland. All travellers are obliged to use safety seatbelts. This applies to those sitting in the back seats as well.

Be very careful when opening doors because they can easily be damaged by strong gusts or wind. Keep in mind that damages caused by wind blowing up the door are not covered by insurances.

No. Although it makes a good picture it is totally forbidden to stand or sit on the car in any circumstances.

There are two type of fuel in Iceland, diesel and petrol. Make sure to use the correct fuel type. It can be very expensive and time consuming mistake if you pump the wrong fuel. Normally the diesel pump is black and petrol is green.

Drivers are obliged to drive with headlights on at all times. If a passing car is flashing you, it means that you do not have your headlights on.

The Highland patrol starts 1^st of July. This means that if you get stuck on a F-road before that you could need to wait for a long period of time before help arrives. Even after 1^st of July everything takes longer if you have problems on a F-road.

No. Only our 4X4 cars can drive on F-roads.

F-roads or mountain roads as we call them are not dangerous. However they are gravel roads and some of them have rivers. We therefore recommend being very cautious and well prepared before choosing to drive an F-road.

They usually opens in middle of June. However it can change year by year and we recommend you check road.is to see if the road you were planning on driving is open.

All our car have incident reports in the glove box. Please fill it out with the driver of the other car. It´s very important that you do this, this report could decide if you should pay for the damage or not. If you and the other driver don´t agree on what happened it´s always best to call 112 and request the police.

All our cars have all the tools and a spare tyre in the back of the car. If you can the easiest way would be to change the tyre yourself. If you have any problems, please call us.

The first thing is to call our break down number +354 773-7070. We will locate you and send help. Please note we have never lost any of our customer.

Our phone number +354 7737070 is open 24/7 every day of the year.

Yes we do! https://itunes.apple.com/is/app/vegagerdin/id1205326231?mt=8 this great app has it all. The weather, the road condition and the best thing about it is in English. We highly recommend getting this.

https://safetravel.is/ the official source for safe adventures in Iceland.

Toll fees, parking fees and entrance fees are charged electronically in certain areas, national parks and road runnels in Iceland. Make sure to follow closely any signs or information indicating such fees or charges and pay when required. Keep this in mind in order to prevent being fined and/or charged related cost such as handling fees when payments aren´t made when required.

Try to park the car so the doors will open against the wind and hold tight to the doors.

Of course you can´t completely avoid this. Our tip is to choose you parking space well since this usually happens at parking spots.

Many of our customers get cracks in their windshield. It both can cost extra money and block your view. Our tip is to keep a good distance to the next car and slow down while driving gravel roads.

We often experience „Black Ice“ on the roads early in the morning or late at night so keep this in mind as it creates the most dangerous conditions. The roads can also be covered in snow. Although most of the main roads are either scraped or salted it is usually not enough.

*Please note: Pay close attention to the road conditions when the temperature is around 0-4 °C and when the weather is still. 

The speed limit set at each point applies only during the best conditions. When driving on icy or snowy roads, reducing the speed is vital. It is more complicated to control the car under these circumstances and an incorrect reaction can cause the driver to lose control of the car.

*Please note: When you are driving on icy- or snowy roads the breaking distance increases significantly, even if the car has studded winter tires!

There are ice scrapers in all of our cars. During the winter it is highly important to remove snow and ice from the windscreen, windows, mirrors and lights. Make sure that the wipers are also clean and fully functional.

The wiper blades can be frozen to the windscreen so make sure you carefully pull them away from the screen and then remove the snow. Otherwise it can damage the wipers and the motor.

Before crossing a river or a water make sure that no other route is possible! Be extremely careful when crossing rivers or water as it can be dangerous and the simplest mistake can drown the car.

Drive very slowly but without hesitation so that water doesn´t reach and damage the engine or electrical system of the car. Use 1st or 2nd gear only, never take your foot of the gas and never apply the clutch in the middle of the river.
