Iceland is a largely cashless society where most businesses, restaurants, and shops, even small ones, accept card payments.
When You Might Need Some Cash for Donation Boxes: You might encounter boxes at smaller natural sights to help with maintenance and upkeep, according to Reddit users.
ATMs: The most cost-effective way to get some ISK is to withdraw it directly from an ATM.
You can also exchange cash at local bank branches, though this is generally more expensive than using an ATM. While possible, exchanging money at the airport is typically the least favorable rate.
Mobile Payments: You can also use digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Wallet to pay by phone.
Major Cards Accepted: Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, though Amex and Diners Club may not be as common.

Having a working cell phone internationally is very helpful. We often use a cell phone as a "walkie-talkie" when traveling members roam separately. The options are "burn phones," SIMS, Internet, and Verizon/AT&T/Visible international plans. They usually work while on land, but not so much when on the ship. Avoid using them on planes.
Verizon, AT&T, and Visible International plans, as well as internet, are the simplest and least expensive options for our two-week trip. The international plans only charge $12/day (as your phone uses domestic, voice, text, and mostly data) when used daily.
Before departure, set up your carrier's international plan. When you arrive in Spain and Portugal, your carrier will recognize your location and text you about the connection.

For $12/day, you can use your domestic plan's talk, text, and data allowances like at home. You're only charged for the days you use your phone. Learn more by visiting our TravelPass FAQs.
If you don't choose an international plan, you'll pay per minute, per text, and per MB of data used (called Pay as You Go) when you're abroad. Learn more on our International Travel page.
Internet connections can be FREE when in a hotel or on a ship with WiFi. At some airports, you can find low-cost or free WiFi (it's best to use a VPN on public WiFi).
When calling between two cell phones on iOS, use FACETIME.
When accessing between Androids and Apple, use WhatsAPP. Set up the app before departure.
