Car subsidies for the physically disabled in Iceland are primarily paid by the Social Insurance Institution and are intended to help people who have difficulty getting around without a car. If a physical disability is recognized and a car is considered necessary for daily life, work or health, it is possible to receive a subsidy to purchase a car, usually every few years. Some people also receive a supplement for operating a car, especially if the person concerned is on disability or a pension. If a specially equipped car is needed, for example because of a wheelchair, the subsidy may be higher. However, this is rarely full funding, but rather support that is intended to make car ownership more realistic.
