Helpful tips for your trip to Iceland

To make your trip to Iceland even more enjoyable, our local drivers are always happy to share some useful tips and insights. Here's what you should know before you even ask

Weather and packing
Iceland's weather can be unpredictable. Pack layers, waterproof and windproof outerwear, and sturdy walking shoes, regardless of the season. Even in summer, temperatures can be cool and rainy.

Budgeting
Iceland can be an expensive country. Plan your budget carefully, especially for food, activities, and souvenirs. While cards are widely accepted, it's always good to have some Icelandic Krona (ISK) for smaller purchases or emergencies.

Tipping and cash
Tipping is not customary in Iceland as service charges are usually included. However, if you receive exceptional service, a small gratuity is always appreciated. Credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere.

Hot spring etiquette
When visiting hot springs or public pools, it is mandatory to shower without a swimsuit before entering the water. This is a crucial part of Icelandic hygiene culture.

Cultural guidelines
Icelanders are generally polite and reserved. Punctuality is valued. Respect nature and follow marked trails to protect the fragile environment.

Summer daylight versus winter darkness
Be prepared for extreme daylight hours depending on the season. In summer, you'll experience nearly 24 hours of daylight, while winter brings long periods of darkness and excellent chances to see the Northern Lights. Plan your activities accordingly.

Tax-free shopping
Visitors to Iceland can claim a refund on value-added tax (VAT) for purchases over a certain amount. Keep your receipts and fill out the tax-free forms at the airport before departure.
