Insurance — What's Included

What's Included in Your Rental

Every vehicle rented from Aurora Car Rental Iceland comes with full comprehensive insurance — included in the daily rate. No upsells. No surprises at pickup.

🛡️ OC — Third-Party Liability

Mandatory coverage required by Icelandic law. Covers damage or injury caused to other people and their property.

🏥 PAI — Personal Accident Insurance

Covers you and your passengers in the event of an accident. Medical costs and personal injury protection included.

🚗 CDW — Collision Damage Waiver

Reduces your financial liability if the vehicle is damaged in a collision. Included as standard — no optional upgrade required.

⭐ SCDW — Super CDW (Zero Excess)

Zero excess for all 4WD vehicles. If the car is damaged, you pay nothing toward the repair cost. Maximum peace of mind.

🪨 GP — Gravel Protection

Essential in Iceland. Covers windscreen chips, headlight damage, and paintwork damage caused by flying gravel on Icelandic roads.

🔒 TP — Theft Protection

Covers the vehicle in the event of theft or attempted break-in. You are protected for the full replacement value.

⚠️ What's NOT Covered

The following situations are excluded from all insurance policies:

  • River and water crossings — no vehicle in Iceland is insured for river fording
  • Tyre and underbody damage — punctures, rim damage, undercarriage
  • Interior damage — stains, tears, damage to upholstery
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Off-road driving outside of officially permitted routes (including driving on vegetation)
  • Damage during active weather warnings (storm, sandstorm, blizzard alerts)

🔧 Optional Add-on: Tyre Protection

Tyres are not covered by standard insurance in Iceland (this applies across all rental companies). You can add Tyre Protection for 3,000 ISK/day — this covers punctures, blowouts, and rim damage. Recommended if you plan to drive on F-roads or gravel tracks.
