Driving in Iceland

Weather

The weather has so much to do with everything we do in Iceland, specially driving. It tells us how fast we can drive, where we can go and what type of a car we need.

Season

During winter it’s important to check at the weather report every couple of hours, to make sure you won’t be stuck in a blizzard. During summer make sure you have your eyes open for sheep running across the road.

Car

Choose wisely, depending on what type of road trips you intend to make. You might need a 4×4 with studded tires; or maybe you can use a 2×4 with studdless tires. Either way make sure to have proper insurance.
