When we decided to visit Iceland in December, people told us we were crazy to drive in Iceland in winter. However, our Iceland road trip in December was great. Winter in Iceland is fierce, but beautiful. Keep reading for more travel tips for Iceland in winter if you’re considering a self driving tour of Iceland.
Although this guide sounds… cautionary, Iceland in winter is magical. Visiting an ice cave, which only forms in winter, was one of the best parts of our Iceland trip.
Similarly, we were able to save money on accommodations, explore Iceland without the crowds, have the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, and pack in more adventure activities as we’d position ourselves near multiple tours that we’d be doing.
You’ll rarely meet people (except at guest houses), so it makes it an instant bonding moment about the insanity of driving in Iceland whenever you meet anyone else.
If you’re considering visiting Iceland in winter, you’ll notice that all tours (even if they’re 1-4 hours) last all day as transportation to/from Reykjavik can add several hours.
As such, some parts can’t be reached with day tour buses from Reykjavik; only expensive multi-day tours. By driving yourself around Iceland, you can save money while packing in far more activities with a more relaxed schedule.

Should you take a road trip in Iceland in winter? Yes!*
Many people, ourselves included, wondered if we should be driving in Iceland in winter. The answer is Yes* if you’re an experienced winter driver.
DO NOT ROADTRIP IN ICELAND IN WINTER IF YOU HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ON SNOW AND ICE.
I write this as Jacob is a very experienced winter driver and he found Iceland to have some of the toughest and most nerve wracking winter driving that he’s ever done.
We met Australians (who had never seen snow before!) doing Ring Road in Iceland and they slid off the road while driving on the fjords. (Luckily, they hit a snowbank and were fine, but it was a very close call.)
It is stupid and dangerous to be drive Ring Road in winter if you do not know how to drive in snow and ice. This is not the place to learn as some roads will be entirely iced over.
If you’re not comfortable with driving on fjords hundreds of feet above the ocean on sheer ice, take an Iceland winter tour along the southern coast where an experienced driver can take care of the driving. Similarly, you can just do day trips from Reykjavik by bus.
It’s possible to go with a tour to the Golden circle, Thingvellir national park, and the Vatnajokull glacier. However, there are some things that can only be seen by renting a car and doing a road trip across Iceland in winter.
Driver skills we recommend having before driving in Iceland in winter….
You should be comfortable with driving in snowstorms, driving on ice (including inclined ice), driving on narrow roads, driving in low visibility, and driving on roads without guardrails.
Travel tips for Iceland in winter by car
Having a car is helpful since many tours, including adventure tours in Iceland, charge an extra transportation fee on top of the price. You can save money by meeting them at the starting point.
If you’re interested in visiting Iceland on a budget, a car allows you to save money on accommodations by staying at guesthouses further outside of towns, which can be almost half the price. It also allows you to go at your own pace (or however fast you can drive given the weather conditions).
Beyond the major cities, many shops (including supermarkets) will have limited hours, mostly during daylight hours. The only reliable shops outside of Reykjavik will be gas stations. If you want to go to the supermarket, check the hours beforehand.
Expect most things in Iceland will be closed around Christmas. Icelandic Christmas means that people are celebrating at home from the 23rd…onwards almost until New Years.
As a result, don’t expect many restaurants outside of Reykjavik to be open during this period. We brought soup and pots to Iceland, which is how we were able to eat in Iceland on the days around Christmas. If you’re considering visiting Iceland in December, don’t miss out on New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik. Click for my post about New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik
If you’re doing a complete road trip around Iceland without backtracking, you will spend most of your time on Ring Road.
If you rent a car in Iceland that is “normal”, then there are certain roads you are not allowed to drive on in winter as they are in rugged terrain. This means that visiting the interior/highlands of Iceland will not be possible.
If you’re not an experienced winter driver, a 4WD (a four-wheel drive) is a good idea. You will have more control over the car, especially with ice.
You cannot drive fast as there’s low visibility, snowstorms, and limited daylight.
Weather in Iceland in winter can be very bad. Daylight hours are from 11:00 to 16:00 (in the latter part of December) and snow storms can reduce visibility to almost zero. Roads are frequently icy.
It is not a good idea to plan long stretches of driving on any given day. Locals said they did not drive in the dark. We spent eight days going around Ring Road, and that might have been pushing ourselves a bit too much. (The only cool part: sunrises and sunsets everyday .)
Rent an automatic, not a manual, unless you really prefer the latter. There are enough mountains that the last thing you want is to be fiddling with the gears while also navigating low visibility and poor tire traction.
Get car insurance from the car company. When looking for rental cars in Iceland, be sure to get full coverage, which means that you don’t need to pay anything if you run into trouble. We had a minor accident involving a curb in a parking lot and sliding on ice, which scratched our bumper.
In Iceland, they check the rental cars very carefully, including the bottom for scratches/gravel damage. You will be asked about sand (mostly an issue on the Southern coast) and ash insurance (due to volcanic explosions), however it’s your call on whether you want to get it. We chose not to.
You will probably rent your car in Keflavik, near the airport. Any car rental in Iceland will include pick-up from the airport.
The decision to take a road trip through Iceland this time of year is not to be taken lightly. Make sure you have experience driving in winter conditions and are up for some stress at times. That being said, look at it as an adventure. The experience is very rewarding.
Iceland is not densely populated. You will travel for long periods with seeing any signs of human life. There is an emergency rescue service that can be called, but it may take some time to reach you. As such, plan you meals, refueling, etc. wisely beforehand.
Plan your Iceland road trip route before you go as gas stations can be far apart. The last thing you want: to be stranded in below freezing temperatures with no gas.
If you’re staying at guesthouses, add at least an extra hour to your arrival time as you will drive slower than your GPS/Google estimates and accidents can cripple Ring Road (and your progress getting there).
Don’t drive too long. Try to space out your trip (or just stop off along the way) at a gas station for coffee. (Be sure to try the dried fish as a snack although it will make the car smell fishy.)
Have a killer driving soundtrack that will keep you awake while driving in the dark. We actually decided to make two playlists, one only by Icelandic bands and a second consisting solely of the Game of Thrones soundtracks.
The plan to listen to Sigur Rós the entire time fell apart after we listened to all the available albums multiple times. We ended up listening to Game of Thrones on repeat in between finding the entrance to Jon Snow’s love cave and exploring the filming locations of Iceland from Game of Thrones.
Getting lost is harder than you expect as you’re mostly driving one road, but bring a GPS and/or download your maps offline map [such as Google Maps]. Keep in mind that some roads may be closed in the winter, but may appear open on the map.
One of my best Iceland tips: Check with guesthouses/hotels if they have a recommended route as some GPS routes are not possible in winter.
Book your accommodations ahead. There isn’t that many choices once you’re in more rural parts of Iceland and guesthouses may not have availability if you wait until the last minute.Click to check prices for guesthouses in Iceland!
Driving in Iceland: Roads in Iceland
If you rent a car in Keflavik (which you probably will), you may think that the road from Keflavik to Reykjavik is indicative of Icelandic roads. It is not.
That road has many lanes, proper shoulders, dividers, etc. but it also connects two of the largest centers of activity in Iceland: the international airport and the capital. Otherwise, here is what to expect from typical Icelandic roads, including the Golden Circle and Ring Road.
Driving in Reykjavik and driving near Reykjavik is totally different than driving in the rest of Iceland.
The Icelandic roads are almost exclusively two lanes: one in each direction. In addition these lanes are often narrow, making passing opposing travel difficult at times. This is especially true in icy weather.
While the roads typically have two lanes, there are many bridges along Ring Road, and they typically have one lane. Generally only one car should be on a bridge at a time.
When approaching a bridge, stop and check to see if someone is already crossing it in the opposing direction. Also, don’t stop too close the the bridge to allow room for opposing traffic to get around you. Many accidents occur on bridges, so use caution.
Sometimes two cars approach opposite ends of the bridge at the same time. Then some haggling is done between the two cars by flashing their headlights at each other.
Much of Ring Road is elevated above a glacial plane. There are no proper shoulders on the road, just a steep drop to the plain below (often not more than a couple of meters). So pulling over is best done onto side roads–and waiting a while.
There are rarely guard rails along the road. Driving in Iceland in winter can be stressful in icy conditions as the road is often elevated with ice on the road.
If you slide off the road, it is unlikely you will be able to drive back onto the road and you will need to call for assistance. It is important to have a phone plan with calling as you may have to call emergency services as well as accommodations to give them your updated arrival time due to delays.
Ring Road passes through and over many fjords. At these places, the roads are very high up. From the the road, you can look down to the Atlantic Ocean. Even here, there may not be guard rails.
Winter driving conditions: what to know for Iceland in winter
As previously mentioned, daylight hours for Iceland in December are from 11:00 to 16:00.
You shouldn’t drive more than three to four hours in the dark. As such, making sure you have time to enjoy activities in the daylight means that you will have difficulty traveling long distances on any given day.
Plan to make lots of shorter trips each day. The most that we did in one day was six hours (planned) with stopping off, but it took much longer that we intended for it to take.
In addition to a general lack of sunlight, Iceland is prone to fierce snow storms. These can reduce the visibility dramatically. There are times you may not be able to see further than 3 meters ahead of you.
Almost the entirety of Ring Road has regularly spaced reflector poles to help you know the boundaries of the road. However, it is typical to not be able to see the traffic lines in the middle of the highway. This means that passing opposing traffic should be done with extreme care.
The roads frequently become icy. In many cases, a solid layer of ice covers the entire surface of the road. Drive slowly and remember to pump your brakes gently if you begin to slide. It is important to never panic and slam the breaks or jerk the steering wheel.
Iceland in winter is cold due to the wind (although it’s not technically that cold outside). The wind is intense and I strongly recommend getting a face mask.
Similarly, if you plan on taking a bathroom break along the road, don’t leave the doors open, which is how Jacob lost his hat (oops). We were even warned about doors blowing off.
If you’re driving in iceland in winter, the wind is something to watch out for. Expect to fishtail (which means that your car may slide in a direction that you don’t want it to!)
If you are driving on ice, it possible that the wind can physically push the car across the ice. However, this typically happens only if you are driving too slowly (a necessity sometimes with the low visibility).
Driving between 40 to 60 kph was best for minimizing sliding and maximizing momentum so as not to be pushed around by the wind.
Iceland maintains a website with lots of information about road conditions that is constantly updated, http://www.road.is/. Consult this website as frequently as possible and plan accordingly.
This site shows how bad conditions are on any section of road, whether the road is closed, if there is an accident, if the road is being cleared, and cameras that let you physically check the road for ice, snow, etc.
Many gas stations have a screen with maps for the area with live updates.
In winter, the section of Ring Road near Egilsstadir is closed and a different road must be taken. Be aware of this and look up the appropriate route ahead of time.
Iceland Road Trip Winter Tip: Do not drive on F-Roads in WINTER. You cannot.
If you’re planning on driving in Iceland in winter and you’re renting a rental car, you will be told that you cannot drive on “F-roads”.
This is a good thing in many ways as a normal 2WD and even a 4×4 will struggle with these roads in winter.
F-Roads are reserved for off-road vehicles and are typically made of gravel for summer. F-roads are typically roads going over mountains and/or through valleys [with rivers] for summer. As a result, you will want to check that your GPS is not taking you on a F-road.
Many F-roads are closed in winter and they are not safe to drive on as the snow can pile up, making it impossible to tell where an unsafe patch might be.
It’s good to ask your car rental company for a map beforehand and to double-check if your route will pass through these areas as one of the major summer Route 1 passes over an F-road, you must re-route yourself in winter not to drive on this road as it’s blocked.
If you end up going on a F-road without clearing it with your rental agency first, your insurance is invalid. (Click for detailed information about which roads are suitable depending on your vehicle.)
Rental car companies in Iceland include a GPS tracker….and they will check the bottom for gravel damage, so you will not get away with it.
For the Icelandic highlands, you need to take a tour with a Superjeep.Although you can generally drive in the highlands in summer, most of these roads are closed in winter.
The highlands comprise the majority of the interior of Iceland. We did not go there, but heard that it is spectacular. However, you cannot drive in the highlands in winter without a Superjeep.
The Icelandic Superjeep is an enormous military style jeep that has been outfitted with larger tires, more powerful engines etc. This can drive through rivers, on glaciers, and through other treacherous terrain.
You cannot rent a Superjeep yourself as you need an experienced driver. Essentially, the only way to see the highlands in winter is with a tour.
Superjeeps travel in pairs as some ground is not frozen enough (especially for frozen rivers) and the other SuperJeep will need to drag one out. This is a serious affair that you should not attempt in Iceland in winter without an experienced tour guide.
Would you road trip in Iceland in winter? Anything we missed or that you want to know?
Keep reading more tips about Iceland in winter. I promise that it will be practical, helpful, and real .
Wow! Your pictures are amazing, and I think you are extremely brave to head out on those frozen roads. Being from Texas, we get icy roads once in a while, but EVERYTHING shuts down when that happens. LOL! Great post. Thanks for sharing!
Reading this totally stressed me out, lol! I’ve been touring around Colorado and Utah on sketchy roads with no guardrails…add ice and snow? No way! Guess I’ll be doing a bus tour with the old folks 😉
Wow, Karen, so much info here! People looking to self-drive in Iceland during winter will have a wonderful time digesting every piece of golden advice you shared here! The point about driving above frozen fjords is completely new to me as I’ve never experienced winter conditions that way, totally blew me away too. For now, I’ll continue to imagine how it would be like when I finally go Iceland =)))
My goodness, what seriously stunning photos! I am never one to shy away from a destination during winter as I believe it’s just as amazing as any other time of year. This article certainly proves that! I’d love to visit Iceland in winter. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Super tips for road tripping in Iceland in winter. We visited Iceland in the summer and loved it. We did the ring road, golden circle and Westfjords. I would like to return in winter as the scenery is very different and the Northern lights are on my bucket list! 🙂
Your post is right on time. We have those cheap tickets sales to Iceland, but nothing for the summer, only Nov til April. Saving your tips for later, I think the trip will happen sooner than I thought. 🙂
Great post! Super useful tips. We just never really thought about the dangers about driving in winter so now we’ve got to think about this before planning a trip there! But I agree that driving is so much more convenient 🙂
Girl! You are such a talented photographer. Great guide so practical especially since you’ve covered things that many wouldn’t have thought about. Where to find road condition updates etc. So practical. Another great read and obviously the best photos.
Really awesome tips. I actually get a lot of emails asking about whether or not it is possible to roadtrip Iceland in winter and I never really knew what to say as the latest in the year I’ve been there was September/October. I love cold weather and roadtrips during winter so I am going to add this to my list 🙂
Iceland is so very high on my wishlist! I had never considered going there during winter as a possibility, but I love the idea that it would be far less crowded! Great tips re: driving. Hopefully my years growing up in Wisconsin would prepare me for the snow and icy roads! Cheers, Jessica
HI Jessica,
Thanks for reading! I think Wisconsin should be more than enough preparation for an Iceland winter. My husband grew up in the mountains of Kentucky and spent some years in PA; for him, that was more than enough prep. If you don’t mind the snow, it’s not that cold (beyond the wind) and you’ll get many photos without people. I hope that you visit Iceland in winter!
Best,
Karen
Wow sounds intense. I drove the southeast coast in winter but not sure I could handle ring road. You’re right though, It is magical and fierce!
And this is exactly why we did the road trip in October.. sounds super intense in winter.
Such a thorough guide – and so many important tips! I’ve been to Iceland twice, both in winter, but only driving myself once. We had a moment, where I started sliding on ice – luckily not on a cliff and no oncoming traffic, but it was still a close call! It’s not to underestimate, but Iceland in winter is so incredible, it’s worth it 🙂
It seems to be a real adventure! I know more or less how it is, because I once traveled to Lapland/Finnmark (the northernmost areas of Finland and Norway) in December and it has even more extreme weather conditions and the sun doesn’t even rise during that part of the year. A friend wanted to do a car trip through the area, but then we opted to do a tour by bus, knowing how dangerous it can be to drive in such conditions. Still, for experienced winter drivers, it must be spectacular!
Amazing article! So many incredibly helpful tips thank you so much for sharing.
We will be there in early November and are staying in only Southern Iceland (Reyjvavik to Jökulsárlón and back). Was your experience any different in the Southern section vs. the rest of the Ring Road?
Hi Jake,
Thanks so much for reading and I’m glad that you found it helpful. If you’re going along the the Southern route, you won’t have any fjords and it’s mostly flat. However, most of ring road will be above the glacial plane and you’ll encounter the one-way bridges. As I mentioned, the one way bridges–please be careful with them! We encountered one bad accident, which held up Ring Road for hours, so it’s good to check the website or the screen with conditions if you stop off at a gas station to double check if there’s any delays. This area is more densely populated, so you’ll find more gas station/stuff to stop off at, so it’s good to stop off along the way reliably to check what’s going on the road.
I recommend trying to pick guesthouses close to what you’ll be doing (max of 1 hour) as it will take longer than you expect.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll be posting a complete itinerary from our winter trip in just a few days if that helps.
Best,
Karen
Karen,
Thank you so much for your response! We’re currently trying to book our rental car and can’t decide if the gravel insurance (and sand insurance; and SCDW) is really worth another $110 Euro given we’re staying in the South and not really doing anything off road. I feel a 2WD will probably be fine, but I’m leaning towards at least Gravel protection.
Thanks for letting me pick your brain and ask questions 🙂
Jake
Hi Jake, we chose not to get any of the extra insurances as gravel wasn’t really an issue as the gravel was iced/snowed over…. We did the SCDW insurance and that was very handy after our mini accident! You might slide, so I recommend getting maybe a little more insurance as collisions/slides are more likely than anything else. We’re good winter drivers, but you know, things happen. 😉
We did the 2WD and if you’re experienced with winter driving with a 2WD, it’s fine, but most people aren’t, which is why I recommend a 4WD.
I’m working on publishing our itinerary in the next two days!
Best,
Karen
Oh my god !! I simply cannot believe how awesome this website and these tips are. They are life-savers. Thank you 🙂
Some good tips there. Just FYI though, your tips about the F-roads is a bit misleading. You mentioned a 2wd car will struggle on these in winter. In fact, they would also struggle on most of them in summer as well and 2wd rental cars are therefore not allowed on any F-roads even in the summer. However, that does not mean you can just get a 4wd and be good to go. Even with a 4wd jeep you should never attempt to drive on any F-roads roads in winter. They are all closed, so attempting to drive them will void your rental car insuranace. For the highlands in winter you need a specially modified 4wd aka superjeep with tires large enough to “float” on the snow. Even then, it takes a lot of training to get through that terrain so it should always be left to the professionals 🙂
Maybe I should clarify my wording. I think it’s a TERRIBLE and very dangerous thing to drive on the F-roads in winter. Since you didn’t find it clear enough, I’ll clarify my wording to ensure that people reading this don’t get the wrong idea.
Best, Karen
Hi Karen. We are traveling to Iceland next weekend and had planned on traveling via 4×4 from Reykjavik to Hofn back to Reykjavik to Snaefellsjokull to Akureyri to then back to Reykjavik. Broken into several trips during our stay. We will be in Iceland from 12/20 – 1/1 with Reykjavik as our base but I wanted to book places along our routes so that we will only be driving during daylight. We are New Yorkers and have experience with driving in the snow and ice. Its the wind that makes me nervous. Driving is cheaper than flying to Akureyri but I want to make sure it is safe. How long did it take you from Akureyri to Reykjavik during your time in December? Where did you stay? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rambling, I’m getting nervous as our trip gets closer.
Hi Patricia,
Thanks for commenting. I really hope your trip goes well. I think it’s possible, however doing it only in daylight with sightseeing day time will be fairly difficult. We did a lot of night driving and with going through the snaefellsnes peninsula, it took us around 3 days with sightseeing. Even then, I felt that our pace wasn’t very great as we missed out on the blonduos region and spent a day driving from dark to dark as we just went slowly and stopped off a bit. Basically double the amount of time that google maps gives you and that should be a reasonable estimate. I feel 3 is the bare minimum without driving continuously.
I’m not sure if you saw the link to the itinerary, but we stayed in airbnbs a bit outside of Reykjavik (they might be booked up already, so I didn’t link to all of them as I didn’t love one of them). Most of the accommodation is already booked up for NYE in Reykjavik, so I really encourage you to book some things ahead as I don’t want you all to be left without anywhere to stay. We stayed at one place about 1 hour south as there was nothing else in our budget in the city, so it’s definitely possible to save money, but not doing night driving is going to tough to avoid if you haven’t booked things ahead (especially in the Reykjavik area).
I’d say maybe to choose a bit carefully in terms of what you want to do as ONLY doing day driving means that you might be able to do REY -> Hofn and Snaefellsjokull with cutting out Akureyri to ensure you meet your timeline. I think you’d have a better trip in some ways as you’d get to focus more on your location without just sitting in the car driving.
Hope that helps. 🙂
Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate all of the advice. We want to enjoy ourselves so we will cut some areas and save them for a second visit in the future!
Hey!
This article is great and just what I needed. I’m in Iceland 3rd Jan – 7th Jan, so not long, but I’ve hired my 4×4 and I’m planning on seeing some sights. I’ve snow and ice in Scotland…tiny bit apprehensive about the wind but it’ll be a learning curve that’s for sure.
I’m aware that travel time is at a premium for me and was wondering if you could advise me as I really don’t know what sort of driving times I’m looking at.
Ideally I’ll be flying in on the 3rd, driving the golden circle on the 4th (perhaps staying out side of Reykjavik, on the southern coast as this is what I plan to drive the next day- maybe near Sefloss). 5th I plan to drive the Southern coast as far as I can (stopping off to see some sights of course), ideally I’d like to make it as far as the glacier…but I’m worried this is just far too far. 6th will be re-tracing my steps to Reykjavik. I’d be interested to know your thoughts on travel time…and if I should perhaps just look to drive to Vik and back on the 5th/6th.
Thanks again for the article! Keep up the good work!
Sara
Hey Sara,
Thanks for commenting and I hope that I can help a bit. It sounds like a great trip although I worry that the last two days might be tough depending on the weather/conditions. The thing is that if there’s an accident, it can really throw things off, so maybe plan on Vik and head back a bit early as doing that bit in just one day can be risky if there’s an accident that prevents you from passing. (We encountered a nasty accent that ruined our plans by about 5 hours during one of the worst blizzards of the year…but we had nowhere to stay as we had to move on. If you can avoid this kind of situation with less tight planning, it’s best and you’ll also get to enjoy more of Iceland during the day-time.
Hope that helps!
Best,
Karen
Great article! Loved reading it as my girlfriend and I are visiting Iceland from January the 28th till February the 11th. We want to plan our trip but are still doubting to take the Iceland ring road, or go to Höfn and head back to visit the west/northwest. We want to go all around, obviously, but you made it very clear that this will be very difficult, but still possible tho, even if some roads are closed?
And when you made that final decision, what is the best way to look for places to stay? I guess there won’t be much choice in the rural areas? We’re still studying though, so we’re on a tight budget, but Iceland is something we just have to see.
We are definitely taking a 4×4. Your advice on the insurances is very helpfull too!
And thanks for the advice! This site is going straight to my favourites. Curious what the future will bring!
Hi Stijn, Glad to hear that. I had great success finding reasonable accommodation within our budget using booking.com looking for guesthouses as having access to a kitchen helped us save a lot of money. Still, I’d be in touch on the same day with your hosts as the weather can be less than ideal. The only risk about not booking ahead is that you might need to drive a long distance when it’s late if accommodations are full, but you might luck out as well. Especially along the Southern coast close to Hofn, that stretch doesn’t have too many options for places to stay.
In terms of insurance, going through your home travel insurance might be safer although I only get full coverage insurance through my rentals after a bad experience in Iceland with a secondary insurance carrier (a Dutch one). It’s up to you if you’re open to the risk that it might take more time to get a refund, but it’s cheaper not to do things this way.
It is possible, but it isn’t the easiest driving… I have another post discussing winter travel tips for Iceland that you might find useful as well. I hope that you have a great trip regardless. 🙂
Best,
Karen
We are planning a 14 day trip around Iceland from Nov 28-Dec 12. We are renting a 4wd with studded tires and are planning to follow the self drive tour around Ring Road. Do you think this is enough time to drive an appropriate speed with weather conditions and see everything? We have booked our hotels and guesthouse along the route already.
I think with a 4WD, it should be okay! I’m curious how it goes for you all! 🙂
