Ring Road, Iceland

  • Beware of the famous Iceland traffic jams (sheep crossing)

  • Iceland is almost completely cashless

  • F Roads are off-limits to 2WD vehicles

  • Downtown Reykjavik does not have public restrooms - you'll likely need to ask a restaurant or cafe to use theirs

  • Get an eSIM before traveling to avoid high phone bill

  • Invest in travel insurance before your trip

  • Be careful when opening your car/van door during high winds (winds can be so powerful it can actually rip your door off)

  • There are plenty of children's parks along the Ring Road - I recommend stopping frequently to get your kids wiggles out

  • There is one tunnel along the Ring Road that requires a toll - Vaðlaheiðargöng Tunnel near Akureyri - in which you have to pay about $16 USD. There is no toll booth and you can pay online 24 hours before or after entering the tunnel.
