Accidents and incidents can never be predicted, which is why it is important to be insured against most eventualities.
All of our rental vehicles come with Third Party Liability Insurance, Collision Damage Waiver, Super Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protect and with 150.000 ISK excess/driver liability (Silver Package).
We strongly recommend you add extended coverage to reduce your liability. Take into consideration that Iceland is prone to extreme weather conditions and gravel road which can cause damage to your hire car. Without insurance, you would have to pay for this damage out of your own pocket.
If you are insured through a third party insurance provider, such as a credit card or insurance company, you will first pay Lotus car rental for any damage and then get reimbursed through your insurance provider. Adding the insurance below will lower your deductible to 65.000 ISK (Gold Package) or 0 ISK (Platinum Package).
If you are not prepared to make this decision now, you can always add insurance when you pick up the car. The price is the same whether you book at the counter or online.
We sincerely believe it is in the best interest for our customers to add extended coverage to reduce their liability risk and increase their peace of mind
