Unfortunately, all flights were canceled going to Iceland for several days. So I had to cancel the trip and did not get to enjoy the car or Iceland. The customer service was great though, I do wish in a case like this a refund were acceptable.

It was a great experience. We've got lots of instructions, tips, even a small discount. Guys from Camping Cars were really nice. Should I ever return to Iceland and look for a car, I will contact Camping Cars again.

The car was perfect for our trip, and Camping Cars did an amazing job at Introducing and show how to use the car along with the roof top tent. The service and simplicity of the rental prosess made it effortless and joyful. I would definitely choose this company again.

The car is a small 4x4 so absolutely fine for iceland beginners. If you got great plans in the highlands you probably need a stronger car. The supplier (Camping Car Car Rental) was awesome - there is nothing they could have done better.

Great Car for the Paved and Unpaved roads! It was spacious and comfortable for 2 people. The rooftop tent was also very functional and easy to use. It kept us warm and dry at night!

Estuvimos 10 días con nuestro Grand Vitara 4x4, con su tienda en el techo. Tengo que decir que fue una experiencia increible, toda una aventura. No sabía si ibamos a poder dormir bien y fue genial. Todo muy fácil de montar y desmontar, la libertad de decidir dónde dormir cada día, lo bien montados que están los campings (y los sitios tan bonitos que son)....totalmente recomendable. Tuvimos días de mucho viento (huracanado de casi 100km/h y pillamos hotel, pero el resto de días, con viento y lluvia, no pasamos frio y la tienda fue genial. Camping Cars en todo momento estuvo disponible para nosotros si teníamos alguna duda. Nos informaron superbien de todo. Recomendable 100%!!! Gracias!!

5th rental via Northbound and probably last. the suzuki plus tent from campingcars was „bare bones“ Camping essentials, like sleeping bag, stove/tableware, incl at other companies had to be rented extra for a rather steep fee. The cars AC was broken which meant driving with open windows on F roads and being covered in a thick layer of dust. Management didn’t care. (Usually we don’t need AC in Iceland) Odometer 3600000 km, gas mileage 12.1 liter/100km (1/3 f roads, 2/3 highway)

Hello dear CampingCars Team, All in all we had a very nice Trip! But compared to other car rental organisation we cannot recommand CampingCars. The Cars and the Equipment of the other Organisations are much more better!!! When we arrived, CampingCars picked us up at the Airport. Super! But when we picked up the car, our reservation was incomplete because of an unsuccessfull communication between Nortbound and Camping Cars. Camping Cars didn’t know, that we payed all, that we added two chairs and two sleeping bags. The Young Lady told us, that it often happens that Northbound only slowly transmit new Information… She had to call her Boss, so that we finally started with the equiped car. But the first day, we were at a campground, we realize that not only the car was an older one, but the roof tent and the equipment too: The gas for the stove was empty. The knifes didn’t cut, the dishes were old and ugly, the pot Duden‘t have a lid. The zipper on both side of the tent were malfunction - it wasn’t possible to close it completely. On the one side the plastic protection was missing on half a side. The material of the tent was already very thin. And so on… All in all it‘s really suboptimal and not how we expected and payed for. We wrote all that to Camping Cars on our third day of holiday - noone never answered..

The Supplier Response:
Dear Doris Autzen,
I am sorry to hear about your negative experience here at Camping cars, however there are a few things I would like you to know. After you sent an email to us on the second day of your rental, we replied within few hours, but for some reason you seem to have missed that (perhaps check your spam folder), here is your e-mail and our reply below:
"Hello dear CampingCars Team,
as you surely remember, we arrived on tuesday this week and our reservation was incomplete because of an unsuccessfull communication between Nortbound and you. Thankfully you had a solution for us.
But now, the first day, we are at a campground, we realize that not only the car is an older one, but the roof tent and the equipment too:
The gas for the stove is empty. The knifes don‘t cut, the pot don‘t have a lid.
The zipper on one side of the tent is malfunction - it is‘nt possible to close it completely. On the other side, the plastic protection is missing on half a side. The material of the tent is already very thin. And so on…

All in all it‘s really suboptimal and not how we expected and payed for.
Do you have a suggestion for us and a relaxed trip in Iceland?
Thank you so much for an answer!
Best regards
Doris and Thomas Autzen”

“Hi Doris and Thomas Autzen and thank you for your email,
I apologize for the hick ups in the beginning of your rental, however there are few things in our defence I would like to mention
• The age of the car is clearly stated on all website and should not be a surprise to you.
• There is no gas included in the kitchen box, so since you did not add it to your booking, no gas should be included from us.
• Cutlery is included in the kitchen box, no sharp is included in the box
There should be a lid for the pot, this is not ok, so after you have returned the car please contact Northbound to ask for a refund for the kitchen box that I will then have to confirm for you to get it.
The tent is like the car not new, however it should be fully functional, if not, please give us a call so we can set up a plan to change it out.
Let me know,
Rg,
CampingCars Team"

I would also like to mention that you were misinformed here regarding that as you wrote “Northbound only slowly transmit new Information”, that is not the case, changes to confirmed bookings are manual on our end so they are a bit slower than when you make a new booking.
Regarding the faulty zippers, we had no issues closing the tent after you returned the car.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience you had, but please contact Northbound and ask for a refund for the kitchen box.
Bogi Jonsson,
Camping cars.

Everything went greatly. We had a problem due to a delay on our arrival flight, the customer assistance of Northbound and our rental provider has been very helpful and smooth in the communications. Strongly recommended.

The Jimmy is what I would call 'the budget car' way too small for a person my height. Had a very hard time starting on steep hills as well, that might just be my driving skills though. Elsewise it's a decent car. Everyone got their preferences.

With the 2015 Suzuki Jimmy Manual from Camping Cars we experienced an amazing adventure in Iceland. We travelled all around the ring road without any problem at all. I would definitely do the rental again.

I liked the car, and tent where we sleep- was very good. Feels like in the real bed. After about 8 days our car had fractured car belt, in the late Sundays evening, at 22:00 o'clock, and Camping Car help us :) We wait our new car about 2 hours (because we were about 2hour ride from their place), and they took the old one. The man was really nice who came. Pick and drope-off, from and to airport was fast and easy by Camping cars persons :).

We had a great experience. The Jimny felt as a reliable, robust car. We slept in the rooftent, which was sometimes an adventure during strong wind. That is the thing with rooftents, for sure. So make note to park the car in the good wind direction and if possible in a lee.
