Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 11, 2026
Some outbound links on IcelandStart are affiliate links. If you click through and complete a booking or purchase on a partner site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
What this means in practice
- IcelandStart does not add fees. Final prices, taxes, fees, availability, cancellation rules and booking terms are shown on the partner site before you confirm.
- The partner site handles bookings, payments, refunds, cancellation, and customer support.
- IcelandStart does not sell bookings directly and is not a travel agency.
- We do not set partner prices, run partner promotions, or guarantee any specific deal, discount, or offer.
Partners we work with
We currently have affiliate or partner relationships with: Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Booking.com, EconomyBookings, Go Car Rental, Lava Car Rental, GetYourGuide, Viator, and Trip.com. We do not own or operate any of these brands. Their terms and conditions apply to your booking.
Booking.com — IcelandStart may earn a commission from qualifying Booking.com bookings made after clicking a partner link. Booking, payment, availability, taxes/fees, cancellation terms, refunds and customer support are handled by Booking.com.
Lava Car Rental — local Iceland car rental partner. Some Lava Car Rental links on IcelandStart are paid affiliate links and may include an affiliate tracking and/or promo setup. Final prices, vehicle availability, insurance terms, taxes, add-ons, cancellation rules and booking support are handled on Lava Car Rental's site.
Official resources are not affiliate links
Links to official Iceland resources — Visit Iceland, SafeTravel, Vegagerðin (road conditions), and Veðurstofa Íslands (weather) — are not affiliate links. We do not earn anything from them. They are included because they help travelers plan Iceland trips safely.
What affiliate relationships do not justify
- Fake prices, fake discounts, fake live availability or fake review counts.
- Pressure tactics or countdown timers.
- Hiding partner identity until after a click.
- Recommending a partner that is not actually a sensible fit for Iceland.
