Camping Cars

in Iceland

The car was perfect for our needs and the round-trip through Iceland!

Only the wheels on one of the cars were in a bad condition!

We loved our Dacia Duster, the helpfulness of the staff and the camping package offered. We had a terrific 4 day visit and would love to return. The wifi was great as we were able to take pictures and share with friends and family on the go! The car was all 4x4 yet easy to drive like a normal car and had plenty of space and comfortable. I must admit my partner knew them from 30 years ago and was apprehensive but found it a great car now.

My experience with the company could not be better. Friendly people, ready to help you at any time, comprehensive with last minute “things”... So far is the best experience I ever had when renting a car :-)

It was amazing, experienced great amount of freedom, and the car even though it was a little bit more on the used side, it performed excellent. The biggest drawback for me was the lack of ability to interact with the sound system, bluetooth, aux-input, or otherwise, it would have made the trip that much more excellent. Great service from the staff, thank you

Absolutely amazing. Car was in great shape! Onroad and offroad, staff is super friendly and helpful. This is very much recommended you'll love it.

My car was changed to Ford escape model, but we didn't have any problems anyway. The roof tent was really warm, so we could sleep very well.
Overall, our journey in Iceland was really good and beautiful. I think that rent a car was the best choice.
In addition, I want to highlight the service by the company when I asked you for more information few months ago. Liam was really kind and professional, helping us a lot with all our doubts.
Thanks guys!!
Best regards.

Great experience. The service was great and we had no problem with de car or tent. We’ll repeat! Thanks so much

Wonderful place, extremely nice people. Car was great for our trip throughout Iceland!

We did. a wonderful Journey around the island and enjoyed this good fourwheeler offering all possibilities needed to drive and stay. The roof tent was very comfortable even for two tall men. Northbound stuff was extremly kind, flexibel and had good informations for us, eben concerning really bad weather on our tour, so we could avoid this region. Thank you!

Amazing customer service!

Really nice people and everything worked perfect with the car! :-)

I'm glad that I chose to rent my camper from Northbound, they have great selection of campers (e.g., mixture of size, automatic vs. manual, etc.) and it was fairly easy and straightforward to rent from the company! I also love how great their customer service was. We arrived to the airport late due to flight delayed, but after we contacted the company somebody was able to get to the airport within 10 minutes and drove us to the rental company. I will not hesitate to rent from the same company the next time I'm in Iceland as well as recommend this company to all of my friends who are planning to travel to Iceland!

Nothing to complain about, everything reaches our expectations. We got Grand Vitera for 9 days, Check in and Check out with company was smooth and easy. Informative and careful staffs. we have some amazing experience with it! surely recommended...

Absolutely awesome. Everything was perfect and we have so much luck to meet Runar. He was kind enough to help us planning our staying and giving us the best tips. The 4x4 and tent was in perfect condition. Very good company, even send emails to warn you about the weather in case you haven't. Thank you very much for everything. Maria & Davide

Great

I am so happy my husband and I chose Camping Cars. They met us at the airport to bring us to our car. They were also very helpful with giving tips on where to shop and general tips about traveling in Iceland. We will definitely be using Camping Cars again.

It was excellent

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend and rent from again.

The experience was amazing, easy comunication, staff very kind and perfect car for your adventure. I highly recomend this company because the prices are at the same time very good

Northbound was a very easy to use car rental comparison site that gave me my best option for my week in Iceland. However the experience with their partner Camping Cars was not so great. Very forceful in selling their insurance - even though I told them I have both my credit card and private travel insurance. They then went on to put a hold of the complete excess on my credit card (~AUD $4,500. A lot of money when you're travelling on top of my week's rental cost). After that, they told me to sign an agreement that I would pay for any damages without showing me a condition report of the car. When asked to see the report, I was advised they take images of the car and keep it on file and they cannot show me the files: I should take my own photos. Very skeptical! Lastly, they told me the car petrol meter was broken and that's why the indicator does not reach the top (where it indicate full...

Booking was easy. When I changed the date of my reservation though, it seemed that there was a miscommunication with Camping Cars because they were waiting for me at the airport on the wrong day. Thankfully it got sorted out and pick up was a breeze. Super friendly and helpful service at pick up and through out the trip, until after I dropped off the car.
At that point, things took a major nose dive.
I returned the car close to empty. I did this because I did not receive the car full and was not told it needed to be filled up before dropping it off. If I had been told that, I would have taken a photo of the gas tank metre when I received it. I also wasn't told that Camping Cars has a discount with Olis, which would have been helpful during my travels. Unfortunately, Camping Cars refuses to give me any credit towards the gas, so I'm stuck paying for a full tank, even though I didn't get one...

We had a great experience with Camping Cars. The car we had booked online wasn't ready when we arrived, so we got a different one and they gave us a discount on the final price. Everyone we spoke to was super helpful not just with the car itself but also giving us tips and lots of information for our route. Good price for a good car that I would definitely recommend.

The service of CampingCars was amazing - can recommend 100%. We had a technical issue on the road and Bogi (from CampingCars) managed to resolve it with lightning speed and to our satisfaction, fixed issue temporarily so that we could continue while he sent another car to meet us on the road and switch. Therefore we lost no time and could stick to the plan. Highly recommend.

The staff was very nice and helpful. Very quick to keep us informed and answer emails. Airport pickup worked out great. The car and wifi worked great the entire time. The tent was excellent, even in Icelandic weather. I highly recommend!

Our trip began with an enthusiastic welcome from the Camping Cars representative at the airport. The experiencing picking up the car was very smooth and the representative even gave us a recommended route based on what we wanted to see. His recommendations did not disappoint. The tent held up well to the rain and wind and kept us warm and dry. It was quick and easy to set up. We enjoyed the freedom the SUV with a tent provided. If we go back to Iceland we will definitely consider booking through them again. The representative we returned the car to and took us back to the airport was also super upbeat and genuinely wanted to know how our trip was.

Wonderful group of people, from our pickup and drop off drivers, to the agent that helped get us set up with our trusty little camping car. They gave us great tips on getting around and all the good sites to help us find camping sites, nearby hot springs, and check for updated road conditions. We even got alerts from them throuout our trip with alerts regarding severe weather conditions to help us stay safe. Highly recommend spending a little extra to have WiFi for the vehicle.

Camping Cars has been great.
A nice welcome at the airport, kind words, suggestions and descriptions for our trip!
The guys at desk has been very polite and had great attentions to our needs, starting our journey and after for our questions. They helped us providing weather informations, streets, services.
My kids and I had a great time, felt safe with the car and the assistance.
The car was perfect for our needs and the price worth. All the service from Camping Cars was very good, kind and professional.
Only we arrived sure that we could have two sleeping beds, as told by phone by Northbound before leaving, so we took just one with us. At Camping Cars they haven't been informed, but they provided us some blankets to pass the night. It wasn't enough and I had to buy other sleeping bags at a high price and low quality: we were too far from technical shops and we had to buy in a camping...

We had an excellent experience with Camping Cars. They picked us up from the airport, explained everything well. It was my first time driving on the right hand side of road and also an automatic car. Staff was really friendly and helpful, especially when I needed assistance with something. I would highly recommend this company. The roof tent was really easy to set up and put away. Very comfortable and just enough room for myself and my 2 children. Also good in windy conditions.

We were more than satisfied with the car and the rooftent. It is super easy to set it up and it also keeps rain outside. The matrace is thick enough to feel comfy. It was a very good way of experiencing iceland. The only info that was missing a bit was how long it actually is. For people who are 1.90m and taller it can get tight. Also, if the car key is kept in the tent, one can still open the car by pressing the button on the door.. maybe something to think about. But I guess in Iceland it is not such big a deal anyway. Otherwise it was all perfectly fine. The pickup and return of the car was absolutely easy and the staff was very friendly! I would definitely recommend this company!
