Our Car Broke Down in Iceland 🇮🇸 — Here’s Exactly What to Do

Our car broke down while travelling through Iceland — so what should you actually do if it happens to you? 🇮🇸🚗

In this video, we share our real experience of dealing with a breakdown in Iceland and explain the steps you should take to stay safe, contact the right people and get help as quickly as possible.

We cover:

• What to do immediately after your car breaks down
• Whether to contact the rental company or roadside assistance
• How to explain and share your exact location
• What information you should have ready
• Breakdown cover, insurance and possible recovery costs
• Staying safe beside remote Icelandic roads
• What to carry in your car in case you become stranded
• When a breakdown becomes an emergency
• What we learnt from our own experience

If you’re renting a car or campervan in Iceland, this is something you should understand before setting off — especially during winter or when travelling through remote parts of the country.

⚠️ If anyone is in immediate danger, call Iceland’s emergency number: 112.
