I topped up at the gas station in Iceland and was charged 25,000 krona. When will the rest of the money be refunded ?

In my experience, this is just pre-authorization, the key is to see the amount credited to the card in one or two days, which should be the actual fuel amount.

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

Do you need a mobile phone card when traveling to Iceland recently? We bought it at the information center of Reykjavik City Hall, a SIM card from Siminn operator, with 1G of traffic. We bought a Vodafone card on Taobao before going abroad, thinking that maybe this SIM card from Siminn would have signal where Vodafone has no signal, and spent 1900 Icelandic krónur on it. But since the card bought on Taobao was not used up in the end, this one was not used. If anyone wants it, 90 yuan including shipping. And we also include the remaining hundreds of megabytes of traffic from the Vodafone card we bought on Taobao, but the validity period of the Vodafone card seems to be approaching, only those who start recently can catch up and use it. Friends who need it can message me ? Iceland Q&A

When we stopped to rest in Eysturoy, the sky was pink in the distance, like a macaron, as beautiful as a girl. More than 20 kilometers away from the destination, people who have been there all say that this mountain road is difficult to drive and will take more than an hour. I don't know how difficult it is to drive. When the car entered, I found that this short 20-kilometer experience has been unforgettable to me, and it can be described as breathtaking ? Iceland Q&A

41. Do not expect too much comfort in the itinerary above, as the people here are not into that kind of thing. They are all doing business in a practical way. 42. Even for waterproof shoes, if possible, prepare two pairs. 43. The wool sweaters here are said to be extremely warm, but they are made of real materials and can be a bit scratchy to wear. 44. The public security is good, so you can basically rest assured. 45. There are very few people on the road, so don't hesitate to ask for help when needed, and try to lend a hand when someone else needs help. 46. The public restrooms all have toilet paper. Remember to flush it down the toilet after use. For female hygiene products and used tissue, just throw them in the trash can. 47. When taking photos, in addition to a wide-angle lens, remember to bring a telephoto lens and a tripod. You can't predict the scenery around the next corner, or whether you will be able to see the aurora. 48. A selfie stick and a GoPro make a great combination. When climbing a mountain, it's very convenient to have one hand free for taking photos when it's too cold, and the GoPro can also be mounted on the car to shoot video. 49. The sun can be very bright, so remember to wear sunglasses, especially when driving. 50. The weather is changeable, and the weather forecast is constantly changing. Local websites will be more accurate, so wear multiple layers of clothing and be prepared to adjust at any time ? Iceland Q&A

Friends around the island, have you honked your car horn? On the sixth day of the island tour, I had never honked the horn before. Today, in the eastern mountain area, there was a mountain turn that couldn't see the car on the other side, so I wanted to honk the horn to remind them, but I found that no matter how I pressed the horn, it didn't make a sound. I'm not sure if I should contact the car dealership to change the car, considering that I've already traveled so far. I didn't hear any cars honking on the road before, and the previous roads were all easy to drive. I wonder what the road conditions will be like later. Will everyone use the car horn when driving around the island ? Iceland Q&A
