Vehicle insurance

Mandatory insurance for allmotor vehicles. All of us can accidentally cause damage while driving.

The insurance covers damage that your vehicle causes to others as well as accidents suff­ered by you or the person driving.

With us, you do not pay any deductible if you cause damage while driving.

Vehicle insurance cons­ists of compulsory motor liability insurance and drivers and owners accident insurance.

  • The compulsory motor liability insurance covers damage that you cause to others, including people or objects, when using the vehicle.

  • The drivers and owners accident insurance covers personal injury sustained by you or the vehic­le's driver while driving the vehicle. The accident insurance is opti­onal insurance for off-road vehic­les.

Compulsory motor liability insurance purchased in Iceland is valid in most European countries. However, the insurance does not apply autom­atically in countries outside Europe or in some European countries outside the EEA. If you use your vehicle in these countries and find your­self in a situation where you need to provide confir­mation of your insurance, you must present an internati­onal insurance certificate, the so-called Green Card.

For the sake of convenience, we have prepared a confir­mation of insurance for you which is available in your customer portal, under the vehicle insurance. It should be enough for you to present this confir­mation instead of the Green Card.
