Oh wow, thanks for the info. Still I think this is expensive. Almost 4K per person. Does this include airfare? Of just car, hotel and food etc.

I've been twice and loved it. I don't do tours. First I'll say it's a very expensive place to visit. We (family of 4) were there for 16 days and cost was about $15,000. We ate in nice restaurants when they were available. Renting cars is quite expensive, especially 4WD. If you mostly do the ring road, you don't need 4WD. If you aren't really experienced with offroad/4WD/wilderness, I'd not rent a 4WD and go into the interior by yourself. I've spent a total of 22 days there now and still haven't seen anywhere near all of it. We've only been in summer so far, but hope to go in winter. I love to photo at night and want to light up some waterfalls with my x8 flash. Be advised there isn't much daylight in winter. The good news is it's not at all cold there, even in winter. It's MUCH warmer there than in South Dakota anyway. I suggest flying into Keflavik using Iceland Air, rent a regular car (gas prices are stiff!), and stay in the guest houses. There are no motel chains like Super 8 etc. Rather than just staying in one place, we typically stayed in a different place every night. Rates are pretty steep though and a lot of people just camp. We're becomming pretty well traveled now, and I have to say Iceland is the most beautiful place I've been (I love desolation though.) It's also quite expensive. We weren't being extravagent, but still were spending money like water out of a hose. That said, wife & I would probably retire there if it wasn't for the totally astonishing high taxes they have.
