Icerental 4x4 in Iceland

Our Jimny was the perfect balance between comfort and versatility: while the "camping" part is quite simple, with a comfortable bed and a reliable rooftop tent, but almost nothing more, having a 4x4 allowed us to drive some beautiful F-Roads, giving our holiday an additional value. I'd absolutely suggest this solution, as soon as you know this is far from a motorhome. Might not be for everybody then, but with some adaptability I think it's the best deal. I'd only suggest to Icerental 4x4 to add few improvements for space organization in the car, mainly in the back (i.e. back seats are not useful at all).

Good car and roof top sleeping was great. We got new sleeping bags.

Bilen er en rigtig god type bil til formålet med familien på Island. At batteriet til bilnøglen ikke virkede var irriterende. At vinduesviskeren var slidt og dårlig (larmede) var irriterende At den ene billygte foran var slået i stykker (rusten, gammel skade) dels ulovligt , dels ubehageligt at vide at modkørende ikke kunne se bilen. "småting" er svære at sætte tal på, men det reducerer bedømmelsen fra 4,8 til 3,5

We had a great time. Picking up car was a little weird. Only one person could get the car and then I had to drive back to the airport. Tire looses pressure after only 1 day....okay bad luck I guess. Had to go to the garage after a few days. But for the rest of the journey we had a great time. Drove 2800 km in 12 days! Hope to come back to Iceland next year!!!

Good and reliable car for our 12 days roadtrip (3650 km), with enough space inside for 4 people and our luggages. The roof tent is very comfortable for 2 normal-size people (I'm 1,80 m and I could stay in it), giving good protection from wind and rain. The mattress and the pillows inside it were clean. The pick up at the airport when we arrived was in time. The staff is kind and helpful. Definitively a good choice. We don't have any complaints about the car or the company.

A good experience, perfect veichle, nice staff, efficient pick up at the airport

The car we rented was the 2018 jimny with roof tent. We had a lot of fun with this car, it brings you everywhere you want to go in this country. The roof tent can be a little cold sometimes, but that’s what you’d expect. After all, it is still a tent. I would recommend icerental 4x4 to my friends.

The experience with the company was excellent (good and quick communication) The car we've rented was like we've expected (it was not a new one but that was known by us) We've had a nice holiday and would rent again a car with northbound

We were really sattisfied with your offer and service. After our flights have been changed by the airline you were very flexible to ajust our rental period. Pick up from the airport in the middle of the night was on time and a very helpful service. Getting the car we found everything as it was adverticed in the web page, car, tent sleepingbags. Information about additional insurance was clear and precise also in regard of the extra costs. Dropping the car was also easy and convenient, which I concider as one of the most important points. The transport back to the airport with almost no delay. We will recomend your company to our friends! Thanks a lot, Regards Veronica & Burkhard

The car was very good, well suited for F Roads and the Roof tent was confortable.

Good service, nice people and easily accessible for questions.

The Dacia did a good job though some signals were on since the pick-up at the rental company.

Frankly speaking. We had a fantastic trip. The car was working but in fact i want to say that for 6.600 dk it was not god enough. Problems with the car crash protection that went out several times so that it was nessary to stop and close the car and start again. Windows not funtionion and no heating in the passengers seat. And i think that you have to make the insurance policy more transparent. But Island is a very god travelling country . but take care when you chose your car rental compagny

Very friendly and helpful staff. No problems with the car. Definitely recommend Northbound.

Very comfortable car but very old with some problems dire tly impacting the safety of passengers. The roof case was also in really bad conditions. This car is not a car to cross small rivers and we have had a big issue with the starter. I am really disappointed about that. And the fact that the sales man didn’t inform us that the road 249 was forbiden. The only good point is that this car is good for 6 people

We had to wait a bit before we were picked up at the airport, but everything else went smooth. We got the car we booked (old, but working well), procedures to get the car and hand it back were fast and perfect service regarding drop-off: Icerental offered to drop me off at the doorstep of at a different location where I needed to be. Thank you!

Hi, our experience was fun and fine. The shuttle has taken us at the airport at time and driven us to our car. The car was clean and the the guy at Icerental 4x4 was kind. The lone small trouble was that the aeration of the rook tent was broken and obstructed so when a few water was going inside it was difficult to dry the mattress. When we dropped off the car the saff has been very kind because the shuttle has driven us at our B&B because our flight has been delayed.

We were very happy with the vehicle and the rental process. We will be back definitely!

The car was exellent choice, ecpecially in combination with roof tent. The personal at Icerental4x4 was kind and helpful. They have given us 2 sleeping bags for free. Regarding the weathear it was good choice for us to take them .... . The car was in good condition, clean and it offers us comfort sleeping, unfortunately just 4 times ... becouse of very cold, windy and rainy weather in the first week of our holiday, Thanks to 4x4 we could see and visit some most beautiful parts of Iceland. The only downside is quite high price at least comparable to car rentals around the world. I would definitely recomend the same combination at same company to every family with two children and just a little adventure spirit. Thank you.

The car worked like a charm.

I got a Dacia Duster, because a Vitara wasn't available. I had some trouble with that car, 2 days different failures were shown in the pilot monitor which removed the next day again by itself. Who knows why... The first failure was worst...because it wasn't possible to blink left and right. The renter was informed about these failures. Besides that I was very satisfied with the Service of Icelandrental4x4. Also tue roof tent was great and so I had an amazing trip in Iceland.

Good service and no problems with the driveability, but the car was a bit worn from many years on the icelandic roads. The windshield wipers couldent wipe off the water from the windscreen and the doors couldent hold them selves open. When the roof tent was popped up and it was raining the inside foam in the top was getting wet, which caused the sleeping bags was getting wet too. I will deffitnetly not recomend this tent in bad weather.

Instead of the Toyota, we got an Honda CRV 4WD and automatic transmission, the car itself was ok. When starting our journey, we got a warning, low tire pressure. We returned immediately. Icerental was aware of it and told me, it is a false warning and simply reset it, the warning will come on again after a while. Indeed next day same warning after a drive of more then 200km, but by precaution I checked the tire pressure and found one tire at 20psi i.s.o. 33psi. Contacted the company and they proposed to get it repaired. Since than, no more warnings. Icerental just repaid the invoice and offered me a return trip downtown Keflavik. They could have been a little more proactive, a lot of people would end up with a broken tire and got an hard time to repair it.

Everything from start to finish was excellent. It was an unusual time (in COVID June 2020) but also a great time to drive the wilderness and meet Icelanders. The car and roof-tent were in good condition and everything was explained clearly by friendly staff. I managed to cross the Koljur route with Midnight Sun and 4 days of sunny weather (rare in Iceland!) and swam in many hot-pots too. The midge screens on the tent worked very well at keeping out the wee beasties and the Suzuki Jimny coped very well with gravel roads. Takk fyrir allt !

Suzuki Vitara it's a perfect car for road trip on normal roads (paved) and not too bumpy mountain roads. The car is not very high to face real mountain roads The car was recent and well equipped as an option. the checkin and checkout were easy. I recommend and would try to use the same company again on a future trip
