Fire and Ice Ultra Race: Travelling to Race HQ from home

We strongly recommend that you contact our Travel Partners All-Iceland to assist you with your travel, including extra time and trips for you, and your friends and family in Iceland.

All-Iceland is a specialist tour operator, with Icelandic staff, based in the UK, allowing them to have the big advantage of being ABTA & ATOL bonded, as added protection for their customers.

We use All Iceland for all our logistics, and Team Fire + Ice travel because it saves us money, and a lot of time and trouble.

Each year the majority of competitors book with All-Iceland, it saves you time, money and hassle, and ABTA and ATOL protection are very important.

At least 90% of the problems we are aware of each year are with those that booked it themselves, some are minor issues, an extra unexpected cost is common, but some have missed the start, and some have left early, all were avoidable.

From those that have had problems, we have lost count of how many have said they should have booked with All-Iceland.

We used to more subtle trying to get this point across, by being a little more blunt, we are hoping to prevent the emergency calls we get during the 24 hours before we depart for the centre of Iceland.

What does ABTA and ATOL bonded mean for you

For example, if you book your International flight, along with travel in Iceland to Race HQ with All-Iceland, in the event that the International flight is delayed, causing you to miss your internal flight and other arrangements in Iceland, All-Iceland will rearrange and sort that out with you.

If you book your International flight yourself, any problems caused by delays to that flight are your responsibility, as that flight is not covered by the ABTA and ATOL bond, and neither are any repercussions as a result of problems with that flight.

Sadly, it is not possible for All-Iceland to book directly with some Airlines, typical profit margins on flights are around £5 or even less, so it’s not a profit-making sale for them, but the advantages of being included in a package where possible are considerable and help them give the best possible customer service.

It’s important to remember if it’s not booked by All-Iceland, neither we or All-Iceland have the authority to change, rebook or influence that booking in any way. The same applies to accommodation, trips and especially car hire in Iceland. So many car hire companies that are great until you break down, that’s when you discover why they were cheaper, been down that route, never forget towing a car for two days, because I used a cheaper option. A better company, with ABTA and ATOL protection, means more support when things go wrong.

We had some competitors for the Half and also the Full Fire + Ice for 2019, who had booked directly with Wow air, an airline who ceased trading close to the event, they lost all of the money, but if they had booked the travel package with All-Iceland, they would have been covered.
