Check out our money-saving guide to Iceland, to find out how to keep costs down on your trip.
ATMs
ATMs are widely available in most towns and cities across Iceland, and generally accept all major debit, credit and prepaid cards. However, not all ATMs are accessible 24-hours, and some may charge a fee for withdrawal. To avoid paying a fee:
Paying with card
You should have no problem paying with your credit or debit card in Iceland, where cards are accepted almost everywhere. However, you may be charged a transaction fee, so it's always preferable to bring some cash along with you.
Tipping
While it’s always appreciated, tipping isn’t necessary in Iceland.
At the current rate, £1 will get you 148 Icelandic Króna. You can review the current rates here.
