Iceland Tours reserves the right to change the terms and conditions without notice.

Before making a reservation at Iceland Tours, we encourage you to read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they constitute a contract agreement between Iceland Tours and you, from the time the booking is made. The person who makes the booking accepts these conditions on behalf of all the people in the group and is responsible for all payments due.

By submitting a booking you confirm to us that you comply with these arrangements.

Once you have submitted your booking and personal details through icelandtours.is, you will receive a confirmation and a pro-forma invoice of your booking via e-mail. Please note that all online bookings require payment of 5% of the total package price at the time of the booking. If the booking occurs less than 30 days before your arrival date, full payment is required.

Most of the bookings are confirmed instantly; however, packages that include overnight accommodation and car rental may take a bit longer. One of our travel consultants will contact you within three business days (72 hours) to re-confirm the booking.

The travel documents will be delivered to you via email once all services are booked and confirmed. Those travel documents include all information you need for your travels, e.g., hotel list, vouchers, and detailed itinerary.

We aim to complete bookings within a few weeks, however, due to Iceland’s popularity as a safe destination, your booking process can take a longer time. Our response time and preparation of bookings may be reflective of your travel departure date and the sensitive deadlines of other travelers.

If by any chance our travel consultant is unable to obtain confirmation (if car rental or accommodation is not available) an alternative will be offered. If you do not accept the alternative or Iceland Tours is not able to offer you an alternative, you are entitled to cancel with a full refund of the deposit.

Booking services with Iceland Tours are available only to persons aged 18 years and older. Individuals under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

By submitting a booking, you warrant and confirm to us that you comply with these arrangements.

Please note that all online bookings require payment of 5% of the total package price at the time of the booking. If the booking occurs less than 30 days before your arrival date full payment is required.

You will be informed by e-mail when you need to pay the balance of your booking which is 30 days before your departure date.

We accept payments via Visa or Mastercard.

Please notice that in the case of changes of flights, the passenger is responsible for any additional costs that become payable as a result of such changes.

Prices are guaranteed against any surcharge after an invoice has been issued, unless the increase is due to government laws or currency changes and amounts to 5% of the package price or more. The amounts that exceed 5% will be charged and clients will be entitled to cancel their booking with a full refund if the surcharge exceeds 10%.

Any increase due to changes in government laws, i.e. tax changes will be added to the invoice.

If a day tour, package or group tour is canceled due to circumstances outside our control or minimum numbers are not reached, we will refund the money you have paid. Iceland Tours shall then have no further liability towards you.

At checkout, you can choose your accommodation type and rental car (self-drive and camping tours only). You can also add extra nights in Reykjavík at the start or end of your trip. These customizations can be made without an additional administration fee.

For any further customizations, such as adding extra nights at off-itinerary locations in the countryside or picking specific hotels, we charge an administration fee of €150. Please note that in the high season, it may not be possible to accommodate further customizations.

Our Best Price Guarantee means that we will match or beat the price of an identical self-drive tour package sold by another company.

To qualify for the Best Price Guarantee, the cheaper package must be a like-for-like self-drive tour package. This means the same:

The package must be available to book at your intended time of purchase. Special offers and other promotions are not eligible for the Best Price Guarantee.

Please note that the Best Price Guarantee applies only to self-drive tours. Other travel styles, including multi-day tours, day tours, private tours, and camping tours, are not eligible.

Applied cancellation fees differ between packages (including accommodation and/or car rental) and day tours.

Changes can be made without incurring any fee until services have been confirmed.

The person named on the reservation must be the main driver, who must be present at the time of rental and the payer of any rental charges. Our packages include two authorized drivers at no extra cost.

The rental car will normally have a full tank of fuel and the car should be refilled before returning it.

All rates are based on a rental period of 24 consecutive hours. If rental exceeds the 24 hour period an extra day will be charged.

Third-party liability is equivalent to the amount stipulated by Icelandic law at any given time. This also applies to the amount of individual driver liability.

Third-party cover and personal accident insurance are automatically included in your rental.

CDW insurance is included in our prices.

A credit card in the main driver’s name is required for renting the vehicle even when a voucher covers the cost of the rental. Cash and/or debit card deposits will not be accepted.
