Questions Learners Have About Insurance & Liability

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Insurance & Liability, including how questions match the official theory exam in Iceland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is compulsory third-party liability insurance (ábyrgðartrygging) in Iceland?

In Iceland, ábyrgðartrygging is mandatory vehicle insurance that covers damages you cause to other people's property or injuries to other persons in a traffic accident. It does not cover damages to your own vehicle.

Is driver's accident insurance (slysatrygging) mandatory in Iceland?

Yes, driver's accident insurance (slysatrygging) is compulsory in Iceland and provides coverage for the driver's own injuries in an accident, regardless of fault.

What is the difference between mandatory insurance and 'Kaskó' in Iceland?

Mandatory insurance (ábyrgðartrygging and slysatrygging) covers damages to others and driver's injuries. 'Kaskó' (comprehensive insurance) is optional and covers damages to your own vehicle, such as from collisions, theft, or vandalism.

Who is liable for damages if I cause an accident while driving someone else's car in Iceland?

Generally, the compulsory third-party liability insurance is tied to the vehicle, not the driver. However, the driver's actions determine the liability for causing the accident. The insurance company may seek recourse from the driver if gross negligence or unlawful acts are involved, but the third-party damages are initially covered by the vehicle's ábyrgðartrygging.

Do foreign vehicles need insurance to drive in Iceland?

Yes, vehicles from EEA, EFTA countries, or the Faroe Islands have valid third-party liability insurance upon arrival. Vehicles from outside these areas must have an international insurance certificate (Green Card) for customs clearance and use in Iceland.
