I am planning a Road trip around the island and I am not quite sure about the exact schedule for each day. I don't necessarily require accommodation in the suburbs, but are there many options for accommodations in towns outside the capital Reykjavik ? Iceland Q&A
How long does it take to go from the Golden Circle to Church Mountain? I plan to leave Selfoss on the same day, visit the Golden Circle, and then stay in the vicinity of Church Mountain. I wonder if there are any problems ? Iceland Q&A
I rented a CX-3 from Thrifty and today when I returned the car at the Reykjavik airport, no one was there. They told me to just leave the key in the box. I'm really worried about potential disputes later on. Have any of you encountered similar issues ? Iceland Q&A
I fly from Iceland to Tromsø in Norway tomorrow, with a layover in Bergen. When I self-check in in Iceland, will my boarding pass show Tromsø as the destination? I'm not very familiar with connecting flights, so I'm asking for advice from experienced people. ? Iceland Q&A
Hi, after visiting Dettifoss yesterday, my tire pressure warning came on in my 90k Hyundai ix35. I still need to go to the Westfjords, so should I air it up or replace the tire? Thanks ? Iceland Q&A
I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ? Iceland Q&A
Picked up the car at Geysir today and it showed low tire pressure. Asked the staff and he said it's fine, said many car rental places in Iceland are like this. Just want to ask, is it a big deal? If I need to pump air, where can I do it ? Iceland Q&A
Have any of your friends who bought tickets on Icelandair through Qunar.com encountered any issues? I bought a ticket that included checked baggage, but a friend in the group once reported that the baggage counter at Qunar didn't recognize it. Today, I contacted customer service and provided the itinerary from the airline, but it didn't show any baggage. The cabin was economy, so I'm guessing it might be economy light. I don't think it's very reliable, so I went to Icelandair's official website and searched using my ticket code and name. It turns out that my order didn't include checked baggage at all. I'm still communicating with customer service now and wondering if any of you have encountered similar situations ? Iceland Q&A
Excuse me, what octane gasoline should I add when I arrive in Iceland ? Iceland Q&A
Could you guys please help? Three of us are going to Iceland in early February for 8-9 days, and plan to visit Vik black sand beach, glacier lagoon, golden circle, grass hat mountain, Reykjavik. We are all "old hands" and of course prefer Road trip. The problem is that we have no experience driving on icy roads, and we are worried that we may not be able to handle the road conditions in bad weather. Could you guys please tell us whether we should give up Road trip? If we don't give up, what safety measures should we take ? Iceland Q&A
F26 has been given up, thank you all, but we still have to go the No. 1 highway. Leave from the Glacier Lake at noon and stay in Husavik at night. I also admit to walking at night. Unfortunately, there is no time. I want to experience the interior highway on the last day, from Akureyri to the Golden Waterfall and Geysir on F35, and stay in Reykjavik at night. I just don't know if F35 will still be open at that 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
I have two questions now, see who can help answer them; First, we want to drive from the airport to Oslo and Reykjavik city, walk around a few attractions, how to park in the city? How to pay for parking meters? If there is no cash on hand, can the airport swipe the card to withdraw cash? Second, I have booked some homestays in Norway and Iceland, but I estimate that I will not be able to check in until after 9 pm every day. How do the landlords usually leave the door for us to check in? It's our first time to stay, we don't know each other, and we don't know the specific location of the homestay ? Iceland Q&A
Hello everyone. I'm planning to go to the Golden Circle by car. Is it about an hour's drive from the capital to Pingvellir? How long does it take to drive to Geyser and Gullfoss? A friend of mine went to these three places on a tour, then went back to the city center and went to the hot springs again... I feel that the drive is not very far. But now I find that there are suggestions to spend a day at these three scenic spots. I originally planned to go to the hot springs at 4 o'clock in the afternoon... Is it too tight ? Iceland Q&A
