Reviews summary
Generated by AI based on 12 months of reviews
Most travelers were very happy with Lava Car Rental over the past year, often mentioning smooth processes, friendly staff and cars that felt safe in Icelandic weather. A few guests had more mixed experiences, mainly around vehicle condition and some service issues.
- • People appreciated clean, reliable cars (often upgrades), good value, quick shuttle and check-in/out, and helpful, friendly communication. Many felt safe on winter roads and found campers well equipped for Iceland trips.
- • Several reviews mention worn front tires, weak wipers and high‑mileage cars, so it’s wise to check the vehicle carefully at pickup. A few guests also noted slow or crowded shuttle/drop‑off, limited explanations for campers, and some confusion or extra costs around changes, damages and return times.

"The car was wonderful - in a new condition, powerful and agile. But the company itself is also trustworthy. We experienced an affecting accident on the road and the car had to be replaced. The stuff did everything to cover our needs nevertheless we wasted two days of our plan, made many additional expenses and lost already arranged attractions. But that's life - God laughs when hears somebody's making plans..."

"I did not receive a Tesla 3. I received a Tesla Y. It was a little odd because I'm used to the other car. The automatic stay-in-lane system would fire all the time, which was very annoying. Other than that it was flawless, easy, and I had fun."

"A larger pot with a lid is needed in the camping kit. The frying pan also needs a lid. Reception and drop-off: the staff were a bit cold and unfriendly."

"Overall it was ok but I had issues to get my car when I arrived on the airport and my phone was not working. It took me almost 2 hours to get my rented car which is not very nice."
