Iceland travel guidance issued for winter driving and transit

Icelandic car rental company Zero Car has issued pre-arrival guidance for travelers preparing for the winter driving season. The company is encouraging customers to use an online check-in system to provide driver and payment details in advance, aiming to streamline the collection process at Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik.

Zero Car’s model includes insurance in the rental price with no excess on covered damage, and a no-deposit system that prevents funds from being blocked on payment cards. The company advises travelers to keep booking emails accessible and to notify them of flight delays to ensure collection arrangements remain valid.

For those opting not to rent vehicles, travel options in Iceland have expanded significantly due to tourism development. Travelers can navigate the country by basing themselves in Reykjavik and utilizing various day tours, public transport, or group tours to visit major sites and hot springs.
