Taxes

During your road trip, you will need to pay certain mandatory local taxes:

  • Icelandic Tourist Tax

A mandatory tourist tax of €2.50 per person per night applies (i.e. €17.50 per person in total for 7 nights). This environmental tax is imposed by the Icelandic authorities.

  • New Road Tax (starting January 2026)

As of January 1, 2026, Iceland will introduce a new road tax for all vehicles. The estimated amount is around €0.05 per kilometre driven, which comes to approximately €10 per day. Final rates will be confirmed by the end of 2025.

Important: This new tax will be offset by a reduction in fuel taxes, so your total travel cost is expected to remain roughly the same.

We offer both a vegetarian option and an option with meat. Each pack contains three meals per person per day for the full duration of your roadtrip (7 days).

Please note that the food pack is not suitable for people with allergies or those following a strict diet, as it may contain traces of peanuts, gluten, and other allergens.

Can I customize the trip to my liking?

We offer a fully planned roadtrip through Iceland, which means it’s not possible to adjust the duration or itinerary of the trip. 

However, you’re of course free to extend your trip on your own initiative.

With how many people can you take this roadtrip?

Iceland Nomads is specifically designed for groups of 2 or 3 people.

If you’re a group of 3, we provide an extra ground tent and camping gear (mattress, sleeping bag, and pillow) since the rooftop tent is only spacious enough for 2 people.

Want to join with more than 3 people? That’s possible, but you’ll need to split into smaller groups. Each group must register separately and will be assigned its own car.

Feel free to contact us in advance so we can check availability for your group.

How does the payment process work?

Within 5 days of your registration, you will need to pay a 35% deposit to confirm your roadtrip. After that, you have until 45 days before departure to change your options and pay the remaining amount. If you make any changes, the deposit will be automatically recalculated.

If you haven’t opted for the damage coverage, you’ll also need to pay a security deposit before departure (more information can be found in the insurance section).

There are various payment options. Did your payment fail? There might have been an error when entering the reference number, or you may have exceeded your account limit.

Can I still cancel my trip?

You can always cancel your roadtrip. Here you can find the terms and conditions. Additionally, you can also rely on the Superflex cancellation conditions until 1/03/2026.

What are the Superflex cancellation conditions?

These terms are available to anyone who books early. You can use them to change your roadtrip to a different period within the same season (subject to availability) or cancel free of charge before 01/03/2026.

Is there on-site support?

Upon your arrival in Iceland, you'll be warmly greeted by our on-site rangers. They will welcome you and give you some information before your tour begins. 

During your roadtrip, you can find all sorts of useful information in our app. Additionally, just before your departure, you'll gain access to a WhatsApp group with all participants leaving on the same date. In that group, you can communicate with each other, but there will also always be someone from the team available in case of emergency.

Do you want to do your part for nature?
