Comprehensive inspection

You do not need to bring the vehicle for a vehicle inspection if it is 6 years old or younger and without damage. All older vehicles must be brought to the nearest branch for inspection.

In order for us to issue comprehensive insurance, the vehicle must be photographed in the following way: 

  • Photos must be clear and taken in good lighting conditions.  
  • The vehicle must be clean, and all of its exterior must be visible.  
  • Photos must be taken corner to corner so that the front end, rear end, and both sides are visible. The license plate number must be visible in photos where possible.  
  • Photos must be dated on the day the insurance is to take effect or identified in some other way so that it is possible to see on which day they were taken.  
  • If photos show damages, the vehicle must be brought to the nearest Sjóvá branch for inspection. 

The comprehensive collision insurance does not take effect unless the vehicle is undamaged.

You can get more information at our branches throughout the country or at the main office, Kringlan 5, Reykjavík, phone 440-2000.
