Insurance

 

We recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.  You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake.  For more general information see Travel insurance.

If things do go wrong when you are oversees then this is How we can help.

Registration

Register with our LOCATE service to tell us when and where you are travelling abroad or where you live abroad so our consular and crisis staff can provide better assistance to you in an emergency. 
  

Money

Our Embassy has advised that there has been no change to the exchange regulations for foreign travellers. Icelandic krona are available through banks and cash machines in Iceland.

Iceland is very expensive – be prepared to spend plenty of money, especially if you intend to eat and drink in restaurants and bars.  Credit cards are widely used.  Hotel accommodation in Iceland is often fully booked for the summer period.  If you visit on flight only tickets you should ensure that all your accommodation has been reserved before departure.  The British Embassy cannot assist in finding accommodation for those without bookings.
