Was a fantastic experience, and a super smooth connection. I don’t normally book things through a third party but sometimes exceptions are the right choice. Would recommend using North Bound.

It was very comfortable, easy to drive and took us into Landmannalauger on the west (two river crossings) and north roads easily. Our pick up and drop off hosts were very polite and helpful. I would absolutely recommend Northbound to future travellers!

I was not pleased with Wild Campers. The pickup at the airport was great, but once we arrived at the rental facility we waited over an hour to start the rental process. Once we got the vehicle nothing was explained to us on the operation of it. As we were trying to get things figured out we discovered that neither the 1 USB or the 1 automobile auxiliary power outlet worked. After reporting this to the staff prior to us leaving, they gave us a dif...ferent vehicle after about another hour. The power outlets worked in this one but we had to try 3 different wifi hot spots before we got 1 to work. That was supposed to hang by the cord from the radio. We never did get the GPS to work, but maybe if it was explained to us we could of used the device we were charged for. Good thing we had smart phones. While on our trip we discovered that the air vents would not switch from defrost to any other position. The vehicle was missing the rear wiper arm. The sleeping bags were only rated to 60 degrees fahrenheit, and the cooking stove was not the one pictured. The wifi hot spot worked spotty at best, we used up many hours trying to connect to it every day. When we returned the vehicle the person then showed me that the horn is on the arm left of the steering wheel, and you can control the display in the console with the one on the right. This would have been useful knowledge on our trip to gage the mileage between gas stations. The blinds covered the windows about 50%, and no ventilation system. The drop off took around another hour to complete. I'm glad I got there an hour prior to the time I had booked. I don't blame this on Northbound but on Wild Campers.

It was our first time renting a car and everything went really well with Northbound. The staff were nice and flexible. The car worked perfectly, only one thing we’d change is being more careful while choosing the car model because of its trunk capacity (we were 5 people with 4 carry-on bags and it was way too much)

Hi Transfers were both immediately. Car was brand new. We had to wait 30 min due to missing car (same happened to the family present when we left). Communication was very reduced. I would liked to have seen a written report on existing damages and a confirmation that the car was returned without new ones. Anyway, all correct on lava cars said. Northbound refunded difference in price to to decreasing prices (thanks again) but we had to ask - so n...o automatically process. Both, lava and northbound I would choose again. Thanks

Overall I found the experience of Northbound very satisfying. From the ease of comparing rental cars available, to the many details provided on the website, to the very quick response time by email, there were many things they did well. The rental company MYCAR's airport shuttle was about 15 minutes late for pickup, which led to a little confusion and slight worry that my group had missed it, but Northbound's staff helped ease my concerns by answ...ering promptly and following up to ensure I had gotten my vehicle as planned. Thank you!

The car rental experience with Northbound and Lava Car Rental was great and we would definitely recommend you guys to our freinds and family travelling to Iceland. The car and the service was up to the mark, however as discussed with the gentleman at lava's office, the Garmin GPS system was not working at all and we could not use it during our entire trip of 12 days. I had asked for the refund for the device, but was told that it was not charg...ed for, however I was surprised to find GPS charges in the final bill. Request you to please help with the GPS's refund.

The car was perfect, even if I rented a diesel model while they gave me a benzine model. This is not a small difference as diesel cars consumptions are lower then benzine cars ones. Fuel cost, indeed, represents a big cost in a roadtrip and it's far to be the same having a diesel rather then a benzine car. However, I must say that the type of fuel was not granted in our deal, so I can't say anything. I suggest you to be very clear about this in a...dvance. At the end of the day, I feel really satisfied about all the service, the car, the trip. So, thanks Northbound team!
