Never thought I would be interested in seeing Iceland on my bucket list but you brought warmth and a sweet lightness to a cold country. Good job guys, carry on and keep those warm and earnest smiles shining through.
Heading to Iceland in 6 weeks so about to binge watch these videos. Planned everything for back in Feb 2020 but then a pesky virus set my plans back a bit. Looking forward to getting lots of tips and tricks on these videos
I went to Iceland in Feb 2020 and I've booked to go back again in about 7 and a half weeks! 😂 Hope you have an amazing time, if it's your first time going it's so beautiful! You'll love it.
OK, they are the most adorable couple EVER! I usually don't have patience for these videos, but she doesn't waste time and I can't wait to watch the rest!!!
Yoghurt. 🤷😂 Great video guys! Super curious to see how it pans out with the budget but it seems like you got off to an awesomely cheap start! I also have no idea how you got such an awesome place within your budget but it looks AWESOME! Looking forward to the next video!
Yesssss you're back and a great video, look forward to the rest of the Iceland vlog! A brilliant place! Cologne/Berlin for me next month, then Belgrade, Serbia in June and finally a secret holiday in October, my friend has booked it and I have no idea where we're going.
@@CheapHolidayExpert went to Marrakesh on our first secret holiday (though we did find out/guess it was there) and then I took them to Kiev and Chernobyl (super super cheap beer there!!) In Feb for my go at booking it, it's fun!
@@CheapHolidayExpert Chernobyl was so fascinating! Visited it just in time for the HBO series coming out soon! Well worth a visit, seeing all the hotspots (literally!), Though we didn't see any wildlife, we learnt about it and how nature is taking back the land and the exclusion zone. @chrisc154 on twitter if you wanna know who I booked with etc, if you end up going
The price shown was simply the price on the northbound website at that time!! No idea if they were running a sale but I just put our dates in. We then got a free upgrade on arrival, as sometimes happens at car hire places.
At last, iv been looking forward to this one as always wanted to go but no idea how to do it cheaply. How much are the kebab shops? Are there plenty near the night clubs? Asking for a friend!
Great tease to the next vlog! And the place looks...fantastic, too! Share your secrets; you did great in Paris with that free 2-week cat sit house. That was a deal of a lifetime.
Hey there! Really nice video! I’m planning to go with my girlfriend to Iceland and we are planning to rent a car. Did you guys rented your car from Lava? if yes did you pay for extra insurance? And if not did you have any problems after?
We didn’t - we have an annual third party insurance that covers that. We didn’t have any issues when returning. And the prices shown are just the prices that were available at that time!!
Can I ask you something about hiring the car in Iceland ? You include some extra insurance ( platinum for example : damage from grave road , wind , sand ) or it’s not need it ? Because for 10 days for example I could take a price about : 400€ and if i add insurance the cost of getting 200-300€ more ? What do u think ?
If you rent a car during winter season or if you are planning to go off main road (outside National road 1 and golden circle). I strongly recommend you to go for premium insurance. If things turn south (e.g. your car slid and flipped in ice) you could be paying hefty price for damage
I had a similar panic to your supermarket checkout experience when filling up with fuel... Stood looking at the number thinking “oh that’s only £80 that’s not to bad, oh wait it’s £800, no don’t be sill it can’t be etc”
Hahahaha exactly the same. I think it really goes to show how shocking our maths skills must be because I knew that 150 kroner was around £1 but when I saw 8000 come up, all sense flew out of my mind!
Hello! Good question. We've always been asked to provide a credit card when hiring cars (have found this to be the case all over the world!) but do get in touch with the company directly to find out what other options they can offer you.
I was a about say, 1100 for 1 week for s camper? Lucky you. We will probably pay almost 3k for 2 weeks, but in summer. So it really depends on the time you will visit iceland.
realy realy cheap ? Well it is cheap if the person is too posh to stay in hostels or to camp. I'll probably do it for half the price, taking my own vehicle by ferry, sleeping in the above mentioned. You will need 2+2 extra days for the ferry though
Mate. MAAAAAAAAAATE. I've been sat on this all day because I exported in 4K and it's taken forever and now UA-cam are sticking it in at 360p 😭😭😭 Apparently it can take up to 4 hours to properly process... NEVER AGAIN!!
@@CheapHolidayExpert I couldn't believe the cost either... Thank god it's split between two of us and it's a once only type thing. I'm off there in October
I don't know how this channel isn't way bigger, you guys are amazing!
I was wondering the same

hello :) we are going to iceland in a few months. Could you tell us what car rental company you use? what were your experience?
Thank you for the advice on what sites to use. Complete game changer on our vacation planning. Instead of a week, we are now able to stay 2 weeks.
OK, they are the most adorable couple EVER! I usually don't have patience for these videos, but she doesn't waste time and I can't wait to watch the rest!!!
Love your tip.. love the how you make it super interesting and binge-worthy series of iceland trip
finally a video of the supermarket with proper pricing
I couldn’t find anything before I went so decided I’d make it!!
Yoghurt. 🤷😂

The secret holiday sounds fun!!!! I'm thinking of doing one of those for my mates for my 30th next year!

@@efcchris Oooh how was Chernobyl?? Was chatting to an ecologist who was explaining how they've got a really diverse wildlife due to the disaster.

Oh wow! Just found your channel and even though this was “pre-pandemic,” I really am excited to watch the rest of your Iceland videos!
Loved it ❤️ so informational!
Hi!! I love that you did this! 😊😊 I wanted to ask how you got 60% off your car rental?
The price shown was simply the price on the northbound website at that time!! No idea if they were running a sale but I just put our dates in. We then got a free upgrade on arrival, as sometimes happens at car hire places.
At last, iv been looking forward to this one as always wanted to go but no idea how to do it cheaply. How much are the kebab shops? Are there plenty near the night clubs? Asking for a friend!
Pahahaha. Not sure about kebabs but there's a shit ton of fish and chip shops!!
Great tease to the next vlog! And the place looks...fantastic, too!
Share your secrets; you did great in Paris with that free 2-week cat sit house. That was a deal of a lifetime.
I love your reality. Thanks for sharing.. Iceland is one of my land dream...
Hey there! Really nice video! I’m planning to go with my girlfriend to Iceland and we are planning to rent a car. Did you guys rented your car from Lava? if yes did you pay for extra insurance? And if not did you have any problems after?
Also how did you manage to get a 60% discount?
We didn’t - we have an annual third party insurance that covers that. We didn’t have any issues when returning. And the prices shown are just the prices that were available at that time!!

Fab video!!

erin Williams thanks Erin bbz!
Great video I was in Iceland the same time as you guys and yea it was bloody cold
which month did you'll visit?
Hi pretty nice view in iceland more view ..im here in philippines
Hi! Why the car was so cheap? I see that you had a 60% of discount from the oriiginal price. Do you still have any discount or it was a collab???
How much did you guys actually spend on fuel for the whole trip?! Going soon and am very curious
It’s later on in the series!!
Do you think we can do while iceland in january by rent a car and it will not be ecpamsive
Why can't we bring food to iiiceland from our home country???
How did you get 60% off your vehicle price?
LOVE it!!!!
Great set of video's
With the car through Northbound. Do they all give you that discount fob for petrol and a free coffee?
They did!!
Where did James get his jacket from? I love it!
Has he paid you to post this, Tom?
how many holidays haha 😂
My favourite country I love Iceland ❤️❤️❤️

Don’t forget the strange comma / decimal place trickery!
im form Bangladesh your presenter so good
Glad i subscribed looking very good
may i know about the car hire...is it required for the main driver to own a credit card?...coz i only have debit card..thanks
Hello! Good question. We've always been asked to provide a credit card when hiring cars (have found this to be the case all over the world!) but do get in touch with the company directly to find out what other options they can offer you.
Your interactions seem to like a mum- teenager son relationship. He complains a lot but in the end she is the boss.
Can’t wait to see the next vlog. Can you secretly get rid of that jacket James is wearing it horrible. Lol 😂 Chris was right it is not good.
Fully agree on that 😂
He's just read this and said 'makes me wanna wear it more' 🤣🤣🤣
I tell you what, that pop of yellow looks great on camera though 😂
how many holidays I bet he will do it. The yellow pops on camera like you said. Just wishes it was all the same colour. Lol 😂
I miss the dodgy hat that James was slightly to in love with in previous vlogs, the coat is pretty bad though too
Loved it, love Iceland! I wanna go back!!!
Have really enjoyed editing all the footage - it really is like an alien planet!!
I just love you ❤
Howwww 😩 me and my boyf have spent £1100 on a camper van for 7days lool
Omg I want to go for a month but the prices are outrageous!! How do people afford to do this??!!
I was a about say, 1100 for 1 week for s camper? Lucky you. We will probably pay almost 3k for 2 weeks, but in summer. So it really depends on the time you will visit iceland.
@@rsmcd5672we went in the summer, but that was 3 years ago mind haha
What's the music at 1:48?
realy realy cheap ?
Well it is cheap if the person is too posh to stay in hostels or to camp.
I'll probably do it for half the price, taking my own vehicle by ferry, sleeping in the above mentioned.
You will need 2+2 extra days for the ferry though
Which month you visited?
We went in March!
Skyr is Skyr. It's not yogurt.
Great video.
Cheers Dale!
60% off??? How???
Insha Allah im go Island
Do you use facebook or Instagram
Lovehomeswap calling it :)
Do not know what you're on about Ayaan 👀
looks like some food can be more expensive but i guess its like anywhere just buy food you can afford
HEINZ BEANS ARE CHEAPER. Let's go and bulk buy them.
*yoghurt*
360p only? I don't really care, this is still great.
Mate. MAAAAAAAAAATE. I've been sat on this all day because I exported in 4K and it's taken forever and now UA-cam are sticking it in at 360p 😭😭😭 Apparently it can take up to 4 hours to properly process... NEVER AGAIN!!
AHA - 4K has just kicked in! Watch it again, Martin 🤣
@@CheapHolidayExpert Ah, that's much better!
hahahaha prices are cheaper than where I live in California....hilarious
Ah.... I've blown £700 on a single night in Iceland. Drat. (Bubble dome thing though)
Yes, I looked at that and couldn't believe the cost! You get a tour included in that as well, right? How did you like it?
@@CheapHolidayExpert I couldn't believe the cost either... Thank god it's split between two of us and it's a once only type thing. I'm off there in October
600 will be hard for 6 days.
It is probably doable but i hard.
Yeah, I started off proper cocky because of the cheap flights and car but... It didn't turn out that simple!!!
A 1
Loved 'Same Old Brand New You' but guilty pleasure is their album track 'Scared'. What a Halloween banger.
How did you guys get 60% at the car rental?
exactly. That was the key element
that nobody talked about
