Why Choose Northbound?

The first decision we made when starting Northbound was to always be honest with our customers and to put their needs first. We know a trip to Iceland is not something you do on a whim. For many it is a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Our job is to make sure your rental car never gets in the way of that experience.

Whether you are looking for the most affordable rental in Iceland or you want to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights, we are here to help you make it happen.


Why Travelers Choose Northbound

1. Lowest Price Guarantee

All our rental partners agree to list their lowest rates on Northbound. That means you never pay more than booking directly, and in some cases even less. We believe your money should be spent on adventures, not hidden fees.

2. Transparent Reviews

After every rental we ask our customers to review their experience. These reviews are published directly on our site so you can make an informed choice. We never work with companies that operate dishonestly or put travelers at risk.

3. Strict Quality Control

We carefully vet every supplier. If a company’s reputation does not meet our standards, we do not list them. This ensures you get safe, reliable vehicles and service you can trust.

8. No Booking Fees

Northbound never adds extra costs to your rental. You pay the same price as booking direct, and in some cases we absorb part of our share to keep you happy. Our goal is your satisfaction, not hidden profits.
