Traveling Iceland's Ring Road - Wind Got the Door

On my recent trip to Iceland with friends the wind grabbed the car door and snapped it forward. It didn't break off or look that bad, but it broke the door spring, dented two panels and messed up the window. in the end - I didn't get insurance and charged $1,200. Supposedly the car being out of service and parts having to be imported causes these types of repairs to be extremely expensive.

Besides that, this is our trip driving Iceland's Ring Road and Golden Circle. What was supposed to be a cheap trip turned expensive one as the crazy Icelandic winds snapped the rental car door like in Tommy boy. Supposedly they warn people of this but I didn't catch that warning and, naturally, denied the car insurance. Rookie mistake.

Besides that snafu, Iceland and the people are beautiful and worth the effort. Just remember that the weather is unpredictable and can dictate much of your trip. Also, make sure not to litter and use the country as your bathroom. People come here for a reason and I'd hate to see another amazing place get wrecked.

This trip is typical Iceland tourist material. We started off with the blue lagoon, headed to Reykjavik and made our way to the golden circle. After that we head down south to see Skogafoss, Vik, black sand beach, Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon, and the crashed airplane on the outer ring. On the north side of the island we saw wild reindeer and Europe’s biggest waterfall: Dettifoss.
