Frequently Asked Questions
1How big are the groups?
Our regular cars take 6 passengers and we never fill them on our long tours unless our guests are all part of the same group. On some of our shorter trips we may put up to 6 passenger into the car.
2How big can your groups be?
We can contract all sizes of cars from luxury cars to big buses taking up to 50 passengers. Just send us a mail to info@icelandoffroad.is and we will make you an offer for your group.
3How do I pay?
Booking through our web page is the best way for you to secure your seat on our tours. You can simply pay on this online booking system. Our online booking page is totally secure and by the end of the payment process you will receive a voucher which you will then give to your guide at the start of your tour.
4What is the voucher for?
Your voucher is to show your guide that you have payed for the tour and also to make sure you are going on the right tour! You don’t want to end up on an ice bathing trip when you signed up for bathing in hot springs.
5Why can't I book any tour for one person?
The minimum amount of passenger needed to confirm a tour is two persons. As soon as when we have reached that the tour is confirmed and will be operated.

6What is the difference between the private tours and the all the other tours?
Our private tours are a great way for your group to save money and get more out of your day by paying only one set price for the whole car for up to 9 hours and then as many extra hours as you wish. Our cars take up to 6 passengers easaly and if your group is only you or all your friends we can take you and give you a great day on tour and tailor the tour to your interests.
7How do we know how long the tour will be when going on a private tour?
All of our tours have a set duration time. So if you wish to go on some of our longer tours as a private tour and the tour time exceeds the 9 hour offer on the private tour you will pay 15.000 ISK per each extra hour.
8What currency do you accept?
We only accept the ISK (Krona) but we accept payment from all normally approved debit and credit cards.
