Iceland solo travel guide

🚗 Why Iceland is Perfect for a Road Trip 1️⃣ Smooth Roads, Easy Driving: The Ring Road (Route 1) is well-paved, and like in China, they drive on the right side—no need to adjust! 2️⃣ Convenient Car Rentals: We used Zero Car, a fully self-service rental with full insurance + roadside assistance—no vehicle inspection needed, great value! 3️⃣ Most Attractions Are Free: Natural sights usually don’t charge entrance fees, and parking fees are per vehicle (~¥50 per stop)—super affordable when split among passengers. 4️⃣ Ultimate Freedom & Experience: Stay in remote cabins with stunning views, pull over anytime to photograph waterfalls or chase rainbows… Your itinerary, your rules! Where We Could’ve Saved More: 🔺 Accommodation: We booked large apartments (sleeping 6+), but smaller options would’ve been cheaper. 🔺 Vehicle Choice: SUVs are stable but fuel-heavy. With plenty of charging stations, EVs save on rental + energy costs. 🔺 Shopping: Bought too many snacks—stick to necessities and shop smart! 🛍️ 📱 Must-Have Pre-Trip Tips 🔹 Essential Apps: Weather forecast, road conditions (SafeTravel), aurora alerts, and Parka for parking info—super handy! 🔹 Documents & Payments: Passport, driver’s license + translation, itinerary, and a multi-currency credit card 💳. We paid by card the whole time—didn’t exchange a single Icelandic króna! #Reykjavik#Iceland#Harry´s Seafood and Grill Restaurant#travel guide#trip diary#solo trip
