In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! Great question, but unfortunately I don't remember! Ugh. Sorry. I should have kept track and written it in this post! It's definitely not cheap. I bet you could figure out average MPG (google), current gas prices (google), and length of your trip to get a ballpark idea. Have fun!!

Hello,
If you don't mind my asking - about how much did you spend on gas for your trip? I'm interested in doing this trip with a few friends, and we are wondering what to expect for fuel costs.

Thanks so much!

In reply to Nitin Bansal. Hi Natin! We did take a ferry at one point from the Westfjords — take a look at the map in this post and you'll see it between points H and I. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details, but I know google can help you out!! We definitely used the heater in our van (and, I think it's pretty standard for them to have heaters... I would double check with whoever you've been talking to!) before going to bed, but then would turn it off until morning and be just fine. Good luck — have a wonderful trip! Mary

In reply to Allison. Hi Allison! I don't know what the actual classification of van I had was — but you could ask Sigrun what it would be based on my photos! We did some highlands/F roads, but not a ton, and were totally fine. We never needed 4-wheel drive, but also had fairly dry/easy conditions. Have a wonderful trip!!

Great post, thanks! I am going to Iceland in September for 10 days and looking into renting a Snail. Do you remember which one you had? Just wondering which model is in your photos. I am looking at the Snail 3: Low ceiling Syncro.
Snail says that it can do the highlands and F roads, did you explore those areas at all?

In reply to Dan. Hi Dan! Thanks! These photos were mostly edited on my iPhone in VSCO Cam — but that only applies to this post (my other posts are not iPhone and not filtered). Enjoy! xoxo

In reply to Jenny. Hi Jenny! I'm so glad you and Sigrun figured out a good deal! She's wonderful, and will be a great resource for you while you're there. Enjoy your trip! xo

Thanks so much for this! Your trip sounds great, and the pics of the van are super helpful. I'm going solo in September, and have been trying to figure out who to book with. I wanted a van a bigger than all of the little micro guys, and with the kitchen inside (so I could comfortably hole up in bad weather), but they are just so much more expensive. In looking at Snail's website, I thought no way could I swing it, but I just got a price quote from Sigrun, and it's cheaper than renting a smaller one from most of the other companies. Cheers!
