FAQ

Good to know before you take the wheel

Who are your self-drive journeys for?

Guests who want independence without planning every detail. Ideal for couples, families and friends who value comfort, characterful hotels and a calm pace— rather than trying to see everything in one go.

Inclusions in a typical self-drive?

A spacious, well appointed 4x4 with premium insurance cover, handpicked accommodations, digital itinerary and select experiences to name a few. We shape guided days and special activities to your preferences.

Can you add a private-guided day?

Yes. Many guests combine independent driving with one or two guided days—such as a super-jeep highland day, a glacier adventure or a private food tour in Reykjavík. Tell us what you’re curious about and we’ll build it in.
