Lava Car Rental Reviews

I hightly recommend. Everything was set up perfectly and staff was very nice!

We had a great experience with Lava car rental. Booking was easily done online and price was reasonable. Someone was waiting for us at the airport and he was very gracious when we were late because of spending some time in the duty free shop...thank you. Checking in and pickup was easy and fast. Our 2018 Hyundai Tucson performed perfectly, even on the famous Icelandic nonpraved roads. We had the car for two weeks so spent a lot of time in the car on the ring road. It was comfortable for four and handled all our luggage. We rented a diesel and staff went over the car thoroughly and showed us how to use the navigator and other features. We were pleasantly surprised at the gas mileage we got. Lava provided us with a gas discount card and we had no problem finding gas stations along the route..even got a free cup of coffee at the gas stations

Very good experience generally. They are just two things that could be improved: (1) the tire repair kit in the car was useless: rounded wrench because of very low quality. We got 2 flat tires during our 3-week trip and both times we had to wait for another car to come and ask them to lend us their wrench to unscrew our tire and replace it with our spare tire. (2) The person at the reception of Lava Auto was a bit unfriendly when we gave back the car. Professional yes, but a bit rude. Except from that the car was clean and in good condition, and we really enjoyed the Olis tag that allowed us to get free coffee in their stations.

Northbound was an excellent way to find an affordable and reliable rental car from Lava Auto in Iceland. We would highly recommend them and their affiliates to others. Thank you for providing this services!

It was pleasing to drive in all conditions

Hello,
my travel to Iceland was really a great getaway, each day I found-out new landscapes, it was really magical, my expérience with Lava was also great, guys were kind and helpful, I'll recommend you to my friends.
thanks you very mutch
Best regards,

Very good experience with Lava Auto !
They picked up us at the airport and offered their assistance during our journey around Iceland. They seemed very trustworthy

My experience with Lava Auto Car Rental was great. The airport pick up was awesomely convenient (even though our flight was delayed and we have arrived well after midnight) as well as the airport drop off at the end of our trip. The car we rented Dacia Duster was reliable and we have not experienced any issues while traveling ~ 3000km. The Lava Auto Car Rental office is also conveniently located close to the Keflavik airport. Overall based on our experience I would strongly recommend the Lava Car Hire as well as Northbound who seamlessly arranged all requirements.

הרכב היה מצוין והשרות של חברת לבה אוט היה מצוין

Lava is a family owned company & provided excellent service from picking us up at the airport to providing us with a great vehicle and once we had to say goodbye to Iceland they delivered us seamlessly back to the airpirt. Will use them again!

Lava Auto Rentals was a good value compared to the largest firms. The location was convenient, very close to the airport. The 4wd vehicles are new and clean. I liked having the bundle option to combine all the insurance coverage together in one, easy to understand description at a reduced price compared to purchasing individually. No issues happened during our one week rental. They dropped us back off to the airport in no time. Great experience with Northbound and Lava Rentals.

Had a great experience all around. Very friendly staff.

It was a quick and simple experience. Everything was as expected. I would book there again.

I found the whole experience hassle free. Very organised company, picked us up at the airport. Not too much paper work or fuss at the office. Happy with the car, clean and a pleasure to drive. Just what we needed to get around Iceland. Very good service when we dropped the car off early before our flight. I would use this company again and highly recommend them!

Great! All staff members are very kind and helpful. The car was okay: it took us everywhere and didn't consume much fuel.

Very god service

Lava Auto Car rental was easy to use and the rental SUV was exactly as advertised. Pick up at Airport was one time and drop off was very smooth. Employees were helpful and nice. No issues, would definitely use again and recommend to friends and family.

We rented a 2017 vehicle with plans to drive around Iceland. The staff were extremely easy to work with and very friendly. They also were quick to respond when we experienced automotive problems, as can happen anytime we had car issues. On the 2nd day we ended up getting a flat tire which we changed. Since we had just started our adventure we contacted Lava and they recommended we take it to a mechanic to get the flat repaired or replaced. After doing that we drove another 200 Kilometers and started to notice a clunking when turning at slow speeds. Again we contacted Lava and they instructed us to take the vehicle to a mechanic. The Mechanic stated the differential had to be repaired. Lava then took the initiative to have one of their staff drive a brand new rental out to us 7 hours from their office. It was there the next night and the rest of our experience went without an issue. I was very pleased with how well and quickly Lava responded to the particular issue.

Excellent

Every aspect of the car rental process was positive- booking, pickup and return, and the vehicle was first rate! Would definitely use Northbound and Lava again!

Lava Auto Car Rental provided excellent service and allowed us to get the best out of our holidays in Iceland.

The overall experience with Lava Auto was great. Easy communication, pick up in time even when we arrived few hours before the expected arrival time. New clean car without any problems. Returning of the car was without any major hassle even though we have returned the car so dirty that you can hardly recognise the manufacturer :) I will definitelly take Lava Auto next time too.

This was by far thee best rental company I have ever rented a car from. The process was simple. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I truly wish every car I rented was an experience like this one. The bonus was that the car was awesome for our Icelandic adventure. A big thank you to the Lava team!!

Great experience from beginnng to the end. Most beautiful place I have seen, and having access to your own vehicle is priceless. Northbound and Lava exceeded my expectations.

Our experience with Lava Auto Car was very good. We got a real good 4x4 car and the service for taking us to the final accommodation the night before the return flight was also very good.

Very positive. Communication was excellent through Liam as I had to amend the dates of our rental. The pick up at the airport by the driver is a great feature as he was waiting and easy to identify displaying a card with our name on it. The Duster was a perfect vehicle to navigate the roads of Iceland. Thanks for making our trip hassle free for our transportation needs.

Absolutey great experience with Lava Auto. The car was exactly as described and the company was so helpful and nice. They arranged for the car to be brought to us downtown rather than the airport (for a fair charge) and were very transparent. I highly recommend northbound services and especially lava auto. We had such a smooth first time car renting experience!

Our experience with Lava Car Rental was fantastic. They picked us up at the airport and shuttled us back at the end of our trip. We had no issues at all. The vehicle was clean and there were no mechanical issues. We would highly recommend them to other travellers.

very nice, Friendly peoble an verry good Service

All was perfect.

Every thing was OK.

Great, special acknowledgement for the LAVA RENTAL service, we picked up our car with 12 hours delay at 00;00 with a kind welcome. The car 4x4 was perfect, even on tracks , excluding crossing deep rivers, very confortable, and consume a little fuel. Return kind and efficient with a rapid shuttle to the aeroport. At the end, value for money was very good for this vehicule in this country .

LAVA was outstanding. We have already been recommending them on the Iceland FB Pages we are a part of. We had no troubles checking in or out. We were able to get a hold of a customer service rep whenever we needed help on the road (flat tires). We had excellent coverage Tire Insurance Protection (SO happy we purchased it). No excess was charged despite all the horror stories we heard online about different car rental companies in Iceland. The Dacia Duster SUV 4WD handled 2400miles over 3 weeks utilizing many F and gravel roads. The only thing we suggest is that Lava put a tire gauge inside each car. Not all air machines were functioning or included tire gauge and it's pretty important to know if your tire is at the right level with the types of roads we were driving. We wonder if this contributed to the two flats we got (on our parties two cars). Northbound handled the reservation efficiently and even helped us change it when we researched a better contract early on (we secured this reservation through Northbound 6 mos. prior to travel).

Excellent. Well looked after by the team

The car rental experience was great. We waited a while at the airport when we arrived and had to phone to check we were going to be met but that was not a big problem. The car was good also. We had a flat tyre while driving in the Western Fjords and had the tyre replaced. The mechanic said it wad not a puncture but was a faulty tyre and that we should be refunded by Lava Autos. On returning the car and producing the report from the mechanic we were refunded without any argument. Good service and well located for proximity to the airport. We would definitely recommend your company to friends visiting Iceland.

Excellent service, very friendly and at a good price!

It's a superb car and your service was outstanding from the beginning, starting with our delay because of missing luggage, the handover and the absolutely stunning procedure of returning the car - it was no doubt the best experience I've ever made with rental cars!!!

Our Lava auto rental went smoothly. They offered the best price on a newer vehicle and pickup and drop off at the airport. Vehicle was GPS equipped. Would highly recommend Northbound.

We had an excellent experience with Lava Auto. Pick up from airport was on time and smooth, car was great. Drop off was smooth with no issues. Would definitely use again when we return to Iceland.

Excellent choix, le service est parfait : accueil et dépôt à l'aéroport, véhicule propre et en parfait état correspondant à ce que nous avions demandé, ouverture à 5 heures du matin, idéal quand on reprend l'avion tôt.

Very good. The rates are competitive and I was able to rent a larger vehicle suitable for tall passengers. The service was as promised.

This was a very easy car rental experience and priced less than half of the larger brands. All of their employees were very friendly. We would definitely use them again.

Great experience, the shuttle driver was at the airport to take us to the rental office, our vehicle was exactly as described and worked flawlessly on our trip around the whole island.

We had a great experience and appreciated the Friendly service. New vehicle. Discounted gas. WIFI hotspot

Everything went well. The car met our needs and handled perfectly. I was a little concerned that the gas tank was only 7/8 full but the Lava car agent told me to bring it back at least 7/8 full and there would be no problem. He was correct. One suggestion that would have made things easier for me is for the Lava agent to have informed me how to shift into reverse on the Dacia Duster. I was not familiar with that car and had to ask someone on the street. Otherwise everything was great. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend your company.

Thank you! Every thing was ok.

We had a great experience from start to finish. The pick up and drop off service was nice. The car fit 5 people, 1 large suitcase, 2 large duffles, and 2 small suitcases. We felt it had good gas mileage. The cruise control function was not obvious because the switch was in the center and not on the steering wheel. You might point that out when the car is picked up. Our group also really liked the espresso machine at the office after arriving on an early flight.

The GPS did not recognize the office address when we needed to return the car. We managed to find the office again but maybe directions on the paperwork or an added map of location of office would help.

I would change your questionnaire template to allow for multiple choices on why your company was selected - I read good reviews, you had the best prices and good selection of vehicles.

It was very good, people were really nice. The car was in good shape, it was just what we needed. We are really happy with everything. As a suggestion, a “how to pump gas in Iceland” for dummies manual would be appreciated, I know is not your thing but it would come in handy for most tourist, specially with the full tank thing explained.

Booking a rental car from Lava Auto Car Rental proved to be a wonderful experience. We were met at the airport by a friendly enthusiastic young man who drove us to the actual rental location. The SUV was just what we reserved and everything went very smoothly. Returning the car was just as easy. Drove to their location and were shuttled back to the airport. No worries at all. I would rent again from Lava in a heartbeat. Wonderful service.

Good experience with Lava. They picked us up quickly from the airport and we were on the road with our rental very quickly. We rented a 4x4 duster and the car was in great shape and we were happy with the vehicle. Definitely recommend renting from Lava.

Excellent

Excellent and friendly service, right from the airport pickup, to organising a place for us to get a new tire for our completely shredded tire, to car drop off and airport run. All for the best price we found. Queues at airport hire car pickup were extremely long, so picking up the car just a few minutes from the airport was probably quicker. No wait time for transfer to their office or back to the airport at the end of our holiday.

We were collected from the airport with no problems , communication was good , car was good, we did about 3,300 km's. My only slight issue was that it was difficult to check the car for existing damage in the pouring rain when we collected it.

Lava Auto Car Rental was great! They were responsive to email prior to our arrival. When we were late for the pick up time they responded quickly to my email (we had no phone) and came within 10 minutes. Customer service was excellent - when our in-car GPS couldn't find our first destination they gave us an internet device to use at no extra charge. Also, I was able to use my Visa auto insurance coverage and waive the CDW coverage. Our Dacia Duster 4x4 was perfect for driving around the Snaefellnes peninsula. I highly recommend Lava and would rent a car from them again.

The car was fantastic and service great! I would highly recommend Lava Auto Car Rental.

Great service, great 4WD SUV, and a great price.

Привет Runar!
Спасибо, всё прошло удачно, мы намотали на машине 3 тысячи км и она нас не подвела. В аэропорту нас встретили, оформили быстро документы. Поэтому всё ок. В следующий раз воспользуемся ещё раз.

Awesome!

We had a very good experience overall. The staff was friendly and helpful. The vehicle we we provided was fairly new and reliable. We would use Lava again in the future.

Very nice

I so recommend this car rental. Very friendly staff and excellent service. They had the best deal when I booked a 4WD. Would hire again from them when I come back next year. Cheers!

Perfect! Best rental service ever!

Lava Auto Car Rental is the best! I will definitely be using them again next time I adventure in Iceland!!

Satisfied, good info before we arrived, friendly Gary was picking us up, the car was ok, and the delivering and transport to the airport effective.
(You can`t use my name if you public to other customers)

Hi, wanted to thank you for the excellent service we had last week when we were in Iceland on a vacation.
We were 5 people using Dacia Duster for one full week. We had 5 hand luggages and 1 one big bag - which all fitted perfectly in the car trunk. The car operational performance was also very good.
Thank you for providing us with the car that allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worries and we could spend all of the time looking at the mountains and waterfalls :)

Thanks and the best of luck!

Darta

Customer service was friendly and fast. Car was perfect and I loved the price. Will use Your service next time, when I am in Iceland.

Great overall experience with both, Northbound and Lava Auto Car Rental. Everything was explained clearly, and they were extremely flexible with our requests.

Lava car rental made renting a car so easy! They even picked me us up from the airport at 1am! Picking up the car was super easy and returning the car was even easier! I was super worried because I read about horrible car rental experiences and how picky they were when returning the car but I had an amazing experience with Lava Auto Car Rental! I would definitely recommend them and I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Lava auto rental was amazing. Not only did I get a fabulous rate at only a 1/3 of the cost of Hertz for a 2018 Dacia Duster 4x4, but the rate also included insurance, gps and studded snow tires. I was a little concerned because I had heard such horror stories from renters in Iceland, but I had no issues what so ever. They were not there to greet me, but when I called they arrived within 5 minutes. Their staff was very friendly and helpful. When I returned the car, I was a little worried because I was behind schedule, but they had me checked out and back to the airport within minutes. I would definitely recommend Lava, and as a travel agent will be using them for all of my clients in the future!!!

everything was perfect, pick up and drop off from and to the airport without delay, friendly people, very reliable and new car Dacia Duster, price was the best what we found on the market, highly recommended, Martin - Czech Republic

It was great... except.. and it is funny. I got picked up by the wrong guy. Apparently there were two John Fawcetts. So I got picked up by the guy who drove me to the blue lagoon instead of Lava Auto. It all got sorted relatively easily and all it did was cost me an hour. But the OTHER John Fawcett was not a happy camper!
Oh and there should have note saying that the car should be returned to the airport not to Lava auto

The experience was very positive. Good car, kind personnel working at the rental, punctual pick-up and drop to the airport

We had the best ever experience with Lava Auto, incredibly good service, best coffee we've ever tasted (and this was not because it was complimentary). Car was clean and reliable. Staff went above and beyond any rental company we've ever used. If we could give them more stars we would. Can't recommend this company enough. Flawless .
Thank you so much for your service. We look forward to using you again and have already and will continue to recommend you to all.

Everything PERFECT!

Very simple, straight forward and clear.

Very good service. People were very friendly and efficient.

Overall, our group of 5 was extremely pleased with the staff, service, and car. They provided everything as promised in a timely manner and gave us discounts at Quiznos, 2 gas stations and free coffee at Olis which were all needed. Since our flight landed in KEF earlier than expected they worked relentlessly to pick us up earlier than expected at no cost. In conclusion, we had a great experience and Jerry the guy that helped us was extremely nice!

It was very good

Lava Auto offer a great customer service and decent prices for their rental cars. They picked us up from the airport in the middle of a snowstorm and to their office nearby to collect the car. They gave us a discount card for petrol and a number to call in an emergency should anything happen to our car (which we didn't have to use). The car itself was excellent and well looked after and we didn't experience any problems. Would definitely rent here again.

It os a lo ok

Best value for renting a 4WD car in Iceland with collision damage, theft protection and 3rd party liability insurance covered without additional charges. 21 years old may be an additional driver instead of 23 as all other multinational rental companies require. Excellent services, great hospitality and great car. All these made my 2-week trip to Island wonderful. Thank you, Lava!!

Excellent friendly service , car was fine if a little battered and in need of some body repair, but it was less expensive than other rental companies and it ran fine and was clean when I picked it up, so mustn’t grumble .

This is my second visit to Iceland. Last time I hired a car from Hertz. Lava customer service was far better. I returned the car with more diesel than when I collected it. I was given a full refund for the extra. What service. Would highly recommend. The upgrade through Northbound was easy. Excellent service all round.

Great service and friendly staff.

The car was in good order and had 4wd and thankfully sat nav.

Fantastic service, problems getting off the plane delayed us picking up the car, but they were very accommodating, we ended up collecting at 1am. Everything was very smooth, car was almost brand new, clean and tidy. They had prechecked the condition but had no problem with me going round it again, even at 1am. Airport collection and drop off was quick and easy. A provided key fob got various extras at Olis petrol stations.

Near perfect experience - we found the Lava representative waiting for us at the airport, we were quickly taken to their office some 10 minutes away from Keflavik airport and had the car in our hands and ready to go within a few minutes of arriving. The person handling our booking also took the time to explain the insurance we chose, explained what numbers to call in case of any emergency in Iceland and also let us know that, by using a special token provided by Lava, we could get cheaper fuel and food from certain fuel stations.

Would highly recommend for anyone looking to rent a car in Iceland - the Dacia Duster was a pleasure to drive.

We get very good servis at Lava Auto Rental. Car was in good condition, we didn't have any problems. For foreign travellers is perfekt, that Lava is just 5 min far by car from Keflavik Airport.

Everything was excellent! From pick up to the airport till the end of our rental. The car that we chosen was perfect and clean! Lava’s staff was really kind and they offer us coffee and water for free!
I really appreciated service!
Thank you

Fantastic experience!

Really professional and friendly team, car was only 2 weeks old and a dream to drive. I'd definitely recommend Northbound/Lava Auto and use them again. Being independent and renting a car in Iceland made the experience that much more special! Thanks guys!

Really great service, very easy and very well priced. The vehicle was excellent equipped with everything we need!

It was perfect, we had no problem during our trip. Your team was very reactive. I will recommend your company.

Very friendly and effective service, car in excellent condition, Shuttle from airport to rental service included, drop off at the airport without any problems. Absolutely recommendable

Small hiccup with picking us up from the airport but very quick to do what they could to make it up to us, great service, no problems at all, nice touch being able to help yourself to a free drink when just getting off a flight, car was spot on, will certainly be using again!

Its was a great deal! The car was in perfect condition great and friendly stuff, we were afraid about renting a car coz it was first time in Iceland but it turned out!
When we go to Iceland next time, definitely choosing LAVA car rentals

Great company. Would recommend and would certainly use again. Hassle free pick up from the airport to the rental office and then drop off back outside the terminal on departure. The customer service was brilliant. I had a response on my emails very quickly and it wasn't a problem that we landed after midnight when we arrived.

The experience of using both Northbound and Lava was excellent - the car was in good condition and was a recent model. The staff were friendly and helpful, we were contacted a few days before our trip to confirm details regarding collection at the airport. Collection and delivery was faultless. After having read so many dubious reviews for other car rental companies in Iceland I would not hesitate to recommend Northbound or Lava to anyone.

Fantastic ! Process was professional, efficient and easy.

Very good service and very good car condition.

Excellent all the way. Pick up was on time and helpful. The car was very good, and I would definitely rent from them in the future. Thanks again, Iceland was beautiful as we expected.

Good experience. Vehicle was nice and ran well.

Working with Lava Auto Car Rental was amazing. From the first minute to the last, we had ran into no troubles that weren’t easily fixable. Our original flight was cancelled so our ride wasn’t there to pick us up in the morning but they explained very kindly why and were there within minutes of me calling from the airport. Everyone was super friendly, efficient and beyond helpful. I will be using them again and recommending them to ANY friends or family that go to Iceland for a visit!

We had a wonderful week travelling around SW in a Dacia Duster rented from Lava Auto Car Rental. We were met as we came otu of the airport, taken straight to the office within 5mins and then we were ready for off within 15mins. On the return journey we left the car at Lava Autos and were taken directly to the airport within 5mins. Superb service, lovely people, good car, and very reasonable price! Would definitely use this company if we visit again, and have no hesitation recommending them. Penny UK

I recommend Lava Auto services because of their amazing customer service. I lost my phone at the car rental location on my last day while returning the Dacia Duster. I realized it during the airport dropoff and the driver took me back to help me look for it. A few other employees helped me go through the rental but we did not find it. They returned me back to the airport immediately so I could make my flight. I went through security and customs accepting that all my photos were for memory. I heard my name called over the speaker system and was asked to go to security. I ran through the airport and one of the Lava Auto employees found my phone and brought it back to the airport for me. Now to the car - they provided me a new (6-month old) rental that was perfect for my 5-day trip through West, South, and Southeast Iceland. The heated seats were the best feature as they helped us stay warm from jumping in and out of the car to view the Northern Lights. The rental location is very convenient for pickup/return at the airport. The process was very easy and I cannot stress enough to check the road conditions. The safetravel.is was great to determine the road conditions daily. On our 3rd day, we went to south Iceland and the wind/snow was the worst I've ever experienced. Thankfully I checked the app and drove slow. I saw many cars off the side of the road along the mountain near Vik.

It was great, the 4WD worked well and the car was ideal for the roads. stupidly I did not ask how the heated seats work and only found the button (between the seat and the door) as I was handing the car back.

Lava cars were brilliant throughout the process. Easy to book at a competitive price, collection from the airport and short trip to collect the car. Car was in good condition, easy process and no issues for the full trip. Quick and easy return with no issues and transfer back to the airport straight away. Highly recommended

The car was as described in good conditions. Had no problems driving through gusty winds and snow storms. Very friendly and accommodating staff members. I would use Lava again if I go back.

The car was clean and New,a very good 4|4 quality/price to travell on snowed Road of iceland .

We visited from the UK and were really pleased with the service. Staff are friendly and communicative, prices competitive too. Car was great and just what we wanted. Lava will be my first call when I visit Iceland again hopefully to see the country during the summer months. Thank you.

After choosing Northbound based on previous reviews, cost, vehicle choice very happy with service I received. I hired two vehicles and Liam was able to help and get a great deal. Thanks for everything.

The car was excelent, and the price was firendly, just like the staff. We get email about the storm and the weather conditions which was very good. We got an e-book from Iceland, which I really liked. Thank you for your service and support! We'll absolutely recommend your car rental to everyone.

Experience excellent from start to finish, very relaxed welcome, and although there was a minor issue with a car headlight we were treated with good customer service. The car was perfect for our needs, clean and tidy. I hope to return one day, and will search out Lava Rentals before any other.

Fantastic! Our car was perfect for the winter roads in Iceland.

We had a superb experience with Lava Auto car Rental. From the pick-up at the airport which was timed to perfection. The handover of the car with no hard sell of extras. The staff were thorough and very pleasant. The 4x4 Dacia Duster was great particularly in the weather conditions we had while in Iceland!
Would definitely use Lava Auto Car Rental on our next trip to Iceland.

I had a very good experience with Lava Auto. The car I got was new and in perfect conditions and the car rental itself was stress-free, no pushing from the personnel to sell extras, etc. I will definitely use them again on my next trip to Iceland

The car did very well on the roads and in the snow. The weather was challenging, with lots of blowing snow, gale force winds and poor visibility at times. The Duster handled it all very well, and seemed to have excellent gas mileage also. Having the manual in the glove box was a big plus as there were some features of the car that were unfamiliar. I would definitely rent this car again. Your prices were competitive and the good reviews also helped in making the decision to use Northbound.

Super fast and easy service. Even adjustments on the car return out of the office opening hours were no problem. The car was ready and clean when we arrived, so we had no waiting time. Driving the Dacia Duster was very comfortable and easy. All in all it was a quick, easy and lowpriced service and we could fully recommend Lava Auto Car Rental.

Good service , shuttlebus from AirPort to LavaAuto office. Good price for a quite new 4x4 . Will for sure use Lava Auto next time !

We had a really good experience. The car was just right for our needs and the pick up and drop off from the airport very easy.

Great service and great car! Everything was perfect

good service. good car, no problems, smooth process.
Very much appreciated that after the car-return you were willing to bring us to our hotel instead of the airport.

Very good experience. There was not room for our luggage in the vehicle. The Lava crew was nice enough to haul our luggage to our Reykjavik rental house and return at the end of our stay to haul our luggage back. Could not ask for better service. Thanks for everything!!!

No issues using Lava Auto Car rental! Picked us up at the Airport with no issue. Car was in good condition. Didn't force us to buy extra insurance. Returning the car was easy and no extra charges/ fines. Drop off at the airport was quick.

The staff at Lava were friendly and efficient, and the car was in great condition. Their prices were reasonable and the depot is only a 5 minute drive by shuttle bus from the airport.
I would highly recommend Lava Auto to anyone looking to hire a car in Iceland.

Perfect+

The dacia duster was clean and in good condition. It had studded tyres, which was just what we needed.
The service we received was excellent.

Excellent service from pickup to drop off. Car was almost new, clean and comfortable. We would use Lava car rental again and would recommend to everyone.

Very good

It was a great car. Easy to drive

We were very happy with the service we received,very helpful and easy to deal with. Car was clean, tidy and well maintained.

Someone was waiting to collect us. Car clean and just what we needed. They were helpful although did make feel a little like They Would try and find some sort of issue when I returned the car as they kept going on about the high excess. I brought a waiver from online elsewhere at it was much cheaper. Apart from that great and I would use them again.

Great, quite new car with navi inside . Car was equipped with spikes on tyres ! Cool. I think it was the best choice in this price to travel with four people and discover this awesome island.

Travelled to Reykjavik 01.02.18 - 05.02.18. A rep from Lava was waiting in arrivals and we were quickly taken by minibus to the pickup site, just a few minutes outside of the airport. The car was in perfect condition and extremely clean. Paperwork was completed in minutes and we were.soon on our way. Drop off was equally smooth. Would happily recommend.

The car was very well maintained even with more than 80000km

Excellent service. Very prompt and no waiting about. The car was fantastic.
I will definitely use this service again.

My esperience with Lava rental car was great. Serious people and very good Dacia Duster

The Dacia Duster was absolutely great. Exactly as expected. We found it was a perfect choice for winter conditions. We are Canadian and therefore used to driving in winter conditions and we felt very safe. The car was in great condition, service from LavaAuto was perfect. We were picked up and dropped off as expected, with no wait time. We were given a discount card for gas and food which was convenient. We had no bad surprise when the car was returned and payed exactly what we were supposed to. I guess it's a matter of luck, but we had not opted for any additionnal insurance and we didn't need it. If we go back, we'll definitely book with Northbound/Lava again. The price was the best out there, and surprisingly, the service was one of the best I've had in my life. Sometimes you'd expect cheap prices because to come with bad quality or service but in this case, it's cheap price and amazing Customer service. Way to go!

Great service, quick shuttle from/to the airport and no-fuss service at their (warm and coffee-machine equipped) office. The car was clean and handled the snow and ice with aplomb. Thanks!

My experience was great, they were waiting at the airport for me. Payment and getting on the road went smoothly and quickly and dropping off went smoothly and quickly too. I would definitely rent from them again.

Great car and excellent service from Lava.

Fantastic car (Duster), got us from one side of Iceland to the other in a Blizzard! Staff friendly and helpful. Would 100% book again! Thanks for making car rental pain free :)

Very good

Great experience. Great service and great car

My experience was very positive. The employees went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. They even spent extra time giving us recommendations for food and sightseeing locations. Overall I was very pleased with their service.

Fantastic! Car was in great condition, car rental in general was very easy, no hassle at all, very trustworthy company. Would definitely be renting from here again if we are ever back in Iceland - thank you!

Great rental experience with easy and well informing team, would definitely use them again!

I must admit I was hesitant at using a company that's not mainstream I.e hertz etc but these guys were fantastic, picked me up from the airport on time did not try and push the worthless extra add on insurance, provided a great car and the price was outstanding.
Highly recommended

Great service overall, nice website showing the available options, didn't get the Rav4 as it wasn't available, got a Hyundai Tucson, which was great on Iceland's winter roads.

All went perfectly - thank you

Everything was great. We received a brand new car for a very reasonable price. All formality went very quickly. There were no problems with the car during our journey.
Very kind and helpful staff. They have been waiting for us at the airport to pick us up straight to their office and then they drop us off back to airport when we were leaving.
I can definitely recommend that company and Dacia Duster

Our experience with Northbound and Lava auto to rent the car was perfect. The price was very convenient and the car worked out very good. the attencion of the staff was very quick and nice. I highty recomend it 100%.If I come back to Iceland I will rent the car with them again. Thanks a lot!!

It was very smooth in overall.

Lava Auto Car Rental were absolutely fantastic. Upon arrival at the airport when we had landed, we gave their offices a call and explained we were at the airport half an hour early due to our flight coming in early. They said they would be there in five minutes- and they were. The transportation to their rental office was clean, the journey was no longer than five minutes (so to drop your car back off, it is five minutes away from the airport, very convenient!) and their office was very modern and we were pleasantly surprised. We were asking for directions to tourist attractions and they were extremely helpful and we found the whole experience stress free. There really is no catch with Lava (Booked through Northbound online). The cheap prices aren't too good to be true: they simply offer cars in fantastic condition (ours was in mint condition with a sat nav built in- ideal for the golden circle etc). We recommended to friends of ours who were flying out the weekend after. They were impressed too and came across no problems. Lava also drop you off at the airport when you return your rental car- what more can you ask for. No hidden fees held on your card either (in the past we have had £1000 held in case of damage to the car which dipped into our spends for the trip) Lava do not hold any kind of damage cost on your card. They are exactly what you would hope for from a Rental company. Reliable, professional and honest. Very happy and would never use anybody else on our return to Iceland in the future. Thanks Lava! Jessica & Scott

No problems at all , everything was perfect

Very good process, great car, would use again

Hi, all was fine, flight was delayed 3 hour, short call and the nice people from Lava Car picked us up. Car was like expected, clean no issues and we get also free Water. Next Time we book again with you Guys.

Best regards,

Bernd

Car was great perfect for our trip. Good value also.

The service was excellent, I had an Hyundai which performed well until the heavy snow when it briefly went into 2 wheel drive but it was a nice clean vehicle

Lava reps were all courteous. Rental car was in excellent shape and most importantly, there was no issue on returning the rental car. We were driven to the airport right away for our flight. Very happy with the rental experience.

I rented a Dacia Duster for 10 days. The check-in was easy as was the check out. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Plus, their prices were great and they did not charge for some extras (GPS) as did other companies. Their price to add another driver was MUCH less than other companies were charging. I highly recommend Northbound.

Great car, great people and great service!

Car rental was great. Quick and effective service. Car was in great shape. Definitely recommend.

Great

Everything was perfect. Really responsive, really informative, really helpful. Highly recommended. Glad we got a 4x4, because the weather went a bit crazy now and then!

Swift, personable and easy. Very welcoming. Stationed near to the airport. As an independent company they were also highly competitive. They see you as a person not a commodity. Excellent service and will use again!

I was a wonderful service. From being met straight away at arrivals and a short journey to the car storage. Great advice on how to take car on Icelandic roads and the tip to open the car door with both hands as we arrived in a bad storm with 30 plus mph winds. The car was just right and we would have been lost without the sat nav. And the snow tyres gave me much confidence. Even when we dropped off the car your staff saw us (as he was just about to leave with other customers) and waited to take us to the airport. All round an excellent service and we will use you again when we return which should be in the summer this time.

Great experience, Kind staff, available and incredibly nice! Nothing to complaint about! Would use again and recommend without thinking.

Great, no problems at all. Northbound was easy to use and Lava was good to deal with. Car in good condition.

Excellent service.

Very good experience, met at airport and a 5 minute drive to Lava Cars, car as booked and all information explained and advice given on weather, driving conditions and petrol stations. Drop off very easy and couldn't fault this rental or Lava Cars

It was a great experience right from booking to picking up the car(after being received at the airport) and dropping it off at the end. Very smooth ,efficient and courteous service.Excellent car which could handle the winter roads .Great space for 5 adults with 5 cabin size bags and one collapsible bag and winter jackets! The GPS was super and the complimentary WIfi was a boon.

Great experience!! A representative from LAVA Auto met us at the airport and drove us the short distance to their offsite office. The car was very similar to what I wanted to rent (small SUV but because it was a Hyundai instead of a Toyota SUV they gave me GPS for free!) and was in excellent condition. The office staff were friendly and efficient and answered all of our questions. When it was time to leave, we dropped the car off at Lava and a staff member took us immediately to the airport. Would definitely rent from them again in the future!

Everything went very smoothly. A Lava representative met us at the airport and drove us to the rental location and we were on our way within a few minutes. The Duster proved to be a perfect car for our adventures.

Very obliging and helpful services. Transport between office and airport is fast. A welcome coffee is included.

We had a great recent experience with Lava Auto. I kept researching rental companies and reading about winter driving in Iceland and finally choose Lava due to some very positive reviews about price, quality and support. The pickup process was easy – they weren’t at the airport when we arrived but were there within five minutes. They gave us a good overview of the car, noting the GPS, spare tire, emergency numbers, offered us bottles of water and answered any questions we had. We rented a Hyundai Tucson 4X4 with studded snow tires. The vehicle was clean and well maintained. The car performed beautifully and the return process was just as simple. I would recommend using Lava without hesitation.

Our experience was very positive. We were picked up at the airport, our drivers was helpful. Once we got to the Lava office it was quick and painless processing our rental. Our rental was clean and we had no issues. Our return was just as smooth. We will definitely rent from Lava again. Thank you

Everything went smoothly. From picking us up at the airport to returning the car and getting a lift back too :) Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

All easy and pleasant helpful staff

The service provided my Lava Autos was superb. I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish, we had an amazing time in the campervan. I highly recommend the company. You will not be disappointed.

Good experience with lava auto. The car was in good condition and the experience was highly enjoyable

Greetings from Canada!!!
I was picked up from the KEF airport by a gentleman who had a sign with my name on it. I felt special as soon as I landed, to entering the office, and then finally returning the vehicle. The mechanic of the shop was just as friendly. Do not shy away from this company as they will go through all of the details thoroughly regarding your rental. They are conveniently located a few minutes away from KEF aiport. 5/5 Rating LAVA AUTO CAR RENTAL is the right way to go if you are looking to explore the country on your own. Takk

Simple and stress-free booking through Northbound. Was a fantastic trip, so glad we hired a car for our stay. The guys at Lava Auto were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a great experience!

Everything was well organised, they picked us up in time at the airport, the car was brand new (not damaged!), it had winter tyres with studs. The drop-off was very simple and clear

Excellent! The campervan came with complete features / tools / utensil as advertised, and much more better than other campervan that my friends rented from other companies.

Very good. Coordinating the car pickup with Lava Auto, especially given a significant flight delay which had put us behind schedule, was clear and efficient, the vehicle performed very well, and drop-off instructions were clear.

Excellent even in case of emergency they gave us a quick feedback.

The rental experience was great. Lava Auto was great to work with and the car itself drove very nice. Perfect for the Icelandic Winter. Would definitely book again.

The experience was amazing. We chose northbound not only because of the price but because of the customer support. Everytime we had a doubt they answer immediately and solved our worries.

Great price for the car we got. Excellent customer service and attention throughout all the procedures of the rental.

The condition of the tyres were great, and we had a very safe driving in hard conditions. The overall condition of the car was very good, even though the driver's door was damaged before we had the car, and we had to take great care while opening the car as it didn't have any longer a "click" stop half way, and it opened much wider that expected (probably a previous customer had some incident while opening the door in windy conditions) .

After we passed by LAVA for dropping the car, and we only found a notice to drop the car at the airport and send the location by email, we lack a little feedback after the email. We never got a notice to tell that everything went ok with the dropping procedure, and that we left the car in perfect conditions.

We had a very good trip. He are soooo happy we al the experienced we had. Thank you very much.

Jesus & Marta

Everything went smoothly with the car rental. The whole process went well and I would go through Lava Auto Car Rental again. The Dacia Duster was the perfect car for Iceland in November.

Hello! We had a great time with Lava Auto car. Ca was super nice and new.

it was an excellent expirence I would highly recommend. I used their car seat and it was a night quality car seat . I loved it

Arrived at the Airport quite late but were picked up and shuttled to the Lava Rental office, where we were given our car; A Hyundai Tucson. On return we were also shuttled back to the airport which was very convenient and easy. Really friendly staff, great car with great features making exploring the South Coast of Iceland so much more pleasant and enjoyable. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, studded tyres, Parking sensors and camera - really superb car. They also offer a Fuel station discount card which gives you a couple of pence off per litre at certain stations which is useful.

Overall, they made the whole process very convenient. Highly recommend!

Very good, people very kind and the camper van amazing, hot, winter wheels, new.
recommended

Your service from starting with the airport pick up the providing of all the information I needed and the ride back to the airport was excellent. Not being pressured to buy additional insurance that I had coverage through my credit card was much appreciated. A simple no on my part after being offered some additional insurance was accepted and no further tactics to upsale was used by your staff. Overall the best rental experience I had. I thanks again for the excellent service.

It was a smooth experience renting the campervan from Lava. Great owners there!

Service and communication was great, car in good condition (dacia duster) highly recommend to anyone

Excellent service from Lava and Northbound. Had seen lots of horror stories about car rental in Iceland but we had no problems at all. The car was clean and worked well for our 6 day trip. The staff were polite and got us back to the airport in plenty of time for our flight.

My best friend and I rented from Lava Auto Car Rental, through Northbound, and it was a great experience that I would do again. I had pre-paid for the rental, and then was delayed 3 hours actually getting to Iceland. Lava was so incredible, they let my friend pick up the car, and let me provide the copy of my license and credit card upon arrival. By the time I landed, my friend was gushing about how great Lava was- and that was a perfect way to start our trip. Northbound had the best rates, and it was a seamless experience with them as well. You won't regret finding a car, or in our case a camper van, and booking from Northbound, or Lava!

Good. The pickup was easy. Staff friendly. Booking easy. No pressure selling of insurance. The car was good. Big enough for family of 6 and 3 large suitcases. Only 35k km on a 2017 model and no damage to body work. Marked numerous tiny scratches but told me to ring that day if I found more. Drop off fast and simple. No issues with state of car so very easy.

Amazing

Great service. No issues with the pick up and drop off. Everything went smoothly. Car was excelent, great on fuel efficiency. It had everything what we needed for our trip-like table, chairs, pillows, sleeping bags, cuttlery and pots, gas stove. Very happy with our choice and would highly recomend.

it's a nice experience to rent a car from Northbound website and Lava Auto Car company. The team provided a very good service-- picked up on time, replied fast and were always polite. The condition of our rental car is also good. I will recommend this company to my friends who are planning to visit Iceland.

I had a great experience renting a vehicle from Lava.
The car was clean and the price was really reasonable.
The vehicle ran very well. We had no problems at all.
The staffs were handsome ,nice and helpful.
THE best way how to rent a car without any problems and enjoy your trip to Iceland.

Really enjoyed the customer support. We were delayed at the airport due to delayed luggage, but their representative called us to inform us that they would wait for us. They explained everything to us and the portable wifi was perfect

All was exellent, Iceland was just fantastic! I am totally happy for rent with Lava.
I`ll be back ;)

I had a great experience renting a vehicle from Lava. The staff were nice, helpful, and had some great advice for a first time visitor to Iceland.

The vehicle ran very well. We had no problems at all. It was comfortable and ecenomical on gas. I would definitely rent it again.

Simply put. Northbound has the best prices, straightforward use, and quick process to navigates

We arrived early at the airport, so there was a more than an hour wait before anyone from LAVA showed up. But once they arrived, everything went smoothly, all the way to returning the car. The car is small but working fine except that there is no A/C. We surely don't need the A/C for cooling but sometimes I need it to defog the window from inside for better visibility.
Btw, when I pay for the gas, I am happy I got a small car :)

We had a good experience with northbound.is and Lava Auto - would definitely recommend! Great communication and smooth process all around.

We were delighted with our experience with Lava. When our plane to Keflavik Airport was delayed by several hours, they quickly made the adjustment to pick us up late at night (11:30 pm). Instead of hitting us with a sales pitch about all the extras we could/should pay for, they had us in and out of their office in no time flat, i.e., we signed a couple of forms and got our keys. They also gave us an extra GPS (no additional charge) in case the one in the car wasn't good enough. We had recently rented a car for one day in Austria and wound up paying around 33% more than anticipated. Although we feared we'd have similar problems in Iceland, this was not true with Lava. The car was also great - sturdy and with great pick-up. It was perfect for our long drives in and out of Reykjavik.

We booked our car through northbound and Lava Auto Car Rental. The whole booking process was very fast and easy. The rental company was great. They were very helpful with any needed assistance. They answered to my emails, phone calls and made the car available one day earlier then scheduled at last minute. We rented a Hyundai Tucson 4WD for 2 weeks. The car was new and worked perfectly, taking us safely and effortlessly through asphalt, gravel an mud roads.
I definitely recommend both Northbound and Lava Auto Car Rental!

If you need a rental car in Iceland, Lava Auto Car Rental is the way to go!!! After researching dozens of different rental sites, Lava had amazingly competitive rates and tons of options. The customer service was amazing- picked up from the airport with our own greeter and then returned later... everything was a breeze. Thank you Lava Auto Car Rental!!!

This was a great company to work with. Our reserved vehicle was upgraded due to the fact the one we reserved was not available. It was an acceptable exchange. The staff was very helpful and kind. We would definitely recommend this company and would use them again.

The car was clean and the price was really reasonable. The services given by the company was great. No hidden cost after using it and Easy to pick up and return the vehicle even at 4am in the morning in iceland. It's a certainly trustworthy company that I Would recommend my friends when they are going to iceland.

Experience was great...car worked well, friendly staff that made the process easy!

Our camper van was perfect....well equipped, comfy, and the heater/fridge option came in handy. Would love to rent from this company and get this van again. I highly recommend.

Northbound has a great staff, helpful and nice. The excellent communication; fast answers. The best way how to rent a car without any problems and enjoy your trip to Iceland.

Excellent experience. Pickup from the airport was a breeze (even though we arrived late we simply called and they were there to pick us up within 10 minutes). The owner actually picked us up and was very polite and accommodating throughout the entire process, he even told us about how the company got started. We wanted to support a local business vs the traditional rental companies (Hertz, Budget, etc.) which is why we chose Lava, and very glad we did! Drop off was just as easy as the pickup. Car was newer, well kept up. We drove the Ring Road and never had a problem with the vehicle. Would rent from Lava again!!

The Lava folks were great. Pick up at the airport was very easy and the vehicle itself was ready, in good condition, and a pleasure to drive. The Duster is really a perfect vehicle for touring Iceland. Return was equally easy and fast.

We had a good experience with Lava cars. Car was clean, well maintained and good to drive. Easy pick up and drop off.

Great!

The camper van we rented was so well set out. Really impressed. The only issue was the cooker, this needs to be upgraded.
Overall I would highly recommend.

Had a great week driving around in my little Hyundai i10 from Lava Car rental. I was very happy with the service, helpful staff, pick up at the airport and easy drop off system despite my departure in the early hours of the morning. I thought the price was great. I didn't have any troubles with the car along the way, it served me very well as a solo traveler even with a large suitcase. I felt confident driving around with the protection offered and added gravel protection.

We had a great experience with our car rental! The pick up/drop off from the airport was very quick, and the employees were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely rent again from Northbound again!

Kaikki sujui sovitusti ja palvelu oli hyvää.

We really enjoyed driving this little car. Very economic. The staff was very friendly. We wouldnt hesistate to book again through Lava Auto.

We had a great experience with Lava! They picked us up promptly from the airport, bright and early. Brewed us up a cup of coffee and handed us keys to a killer camper van. The van was equipped with everything we needed. Our van got a flat tire on the first day and Lava helped take care of us. The team from Northbound was also great to work with. Quick responses, helped answer all our questions and updated changes to our reservation very fast. Would highly recommend Northbound and Lava.

Great new cars, friendly and helpful staff who provided very efficient service.

The Nissan NV200 was a perfect vehicle for a trip arround Iceland. It was new and practical.
The vehicle includes everything indicated on the web.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Great expirience.

My experience with Lava Auto Car Rental was seamless and great! They delivered the car to my hostel in Reykjavik and helped me add a wifi unit at the last minute without any issues at all. Bjorki worked with my schedule and made everything as efficient as possible, I highly recommend them and will be using them the next time I visit Iceland!

very good service, someboddy waiting for you at the Airport, I recommand !!

Lava Auto was great to work with. Quick easy check in and out and very low-key. The little Dacia Duster was the perfect vehicle for getting off the beaten path! We never encountered anything it didn't feel 100% competent on. It came home quite dirty and they didn't bat an eye.

It was a very pleasant experience, I advise this company totally based on my experience.
A very nice guy was waiting for us at the airport at 5 a.m. with a poster with the name of the company and mine, took us to the office where the car was in (5 minutes) to deliver the van and sign the contract papers. He did a brief explanation of the car, gave us a discount card for gas stations.
On arrival we delivered the van, made a brief inspection and were taken to the airport.
The car was muna Nissan nv200 diesel very new, had sofa / bed a small table, refrigerator, kitchen utensils, 2 sleeping bags, 2 blankets, heating apart for the night ...
We went all around the island and we only had to worry about putting fuel, the car was very efficient, since with a deposit we could do about 900 Km.

Very nice people at LAVA Car Rental. We hired a Duster and it took us to Landmannalaugar and Myvatn. The car was clean and we got a lift from and to the airport. Thanks guy's!!!!!!

Very great ! We loved the experience renting car from lava auto and northbound. we were picked up at the indicated time. when we picked up the car, there were dents on the bumper and cracks on the windscreen. we were initially quite worried that the previous driver might not have taken care of the car well enough and the car might in turn give us problem during our 14 days ride. however, the toyato yaris was a wonderful ride!! small and compact, sufficient for a couple. it doesnt perform very well on gravel roads such as road 864, but other minor gravel roads are ok! when we returned the car, the staff found a scratch which we had no idea how it ended up there. probably someone accidentally scratched it while we were not with the car. the staff were nice enough to waive the repair charges. we were so grateful for that. overall, it was an excellent experience! sure would recommend my friends heading to iceland to look for you guys.

Excellent car and the service was also excellent. Highly recommend.

Great experience, friendly staff and the vehicle exceeded my expectations.

The people were very nice , the car was fantastic and Runar you were great in providing the service. thank you...

Northbound and Lava did a great job from start to finish.

everything with our booking went smoothly. Car performed wonderfully and the team at Lava Auto were a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use them again.

My wife and I just completed a 17 day self-drive tour of Iceland. During that time we put over 2500 miles on our Lava Hyundai 4WD rental car visiting much of the coast, the West Fjords, a fair amount of the interior and of course Reykjavik.

When we landed, a Lava representative met us at the airport and took us to their office. The car was waiting for us, very clean, full of fuel and with minimal paperwork, we started our adventure. On the way out of the airport, I noticed a rock chip in the windshield that had not been noted on our inspection. I sent an email to Lava that night and it was never an issue when we returned the Car. The Hyundai worked perfectly and had been well maintained. We were able to take in on a couple of the "F" roads reserved for 4WD vehicles only.

We returned it to their office a 7 am and someone was there to drive us to the airport.

We rented the mobile WiFi hotspot and the Garmin GPS from them as well. The WiFi had coverage about half the time in our remote locations but when it did, it was useful for finding restaurants and attractions. The car came with a GPS in the dash so in hindsight, we could have bypassed the rental of the Garmin GPS.

Overall, a very positive experience - thank you LAVA!

Lava car rental is a great choice! Would recommend to anyone travelling by vehicle during their stay in Iceland. They were waiting for us at the airport upon arrival and the rental company is very close to the airport. We had no issues! Picked up our vehicle and we were provided with all of the necessary details (e.g. emergency phone numbers, gas stations in Iceland, discount cards at specific gas stations, etc.). The Hyundai i10 is a small, but comfortable vehicle. We were able to visit all of the places we hoped to see, and more!!

Very punctual and friendly. Car in perfect condition, clean and new. Rapid check out and pick up to the airport.

We rented a camper through lava Auto via northbound for ten days and service was fantastic. Booking was very easy and the camper from Lava was perfect for us. They were really helpful and easy to communicate with even before we arrived. Highly recommend

Booked my car through northbound. The process was super easy and efficient. The car was available on time and was exactly what i asked for. I also took a comprehensive insurance cover which ensured that I was well covered through the journey. Overall no complaints. Really enjoyed booking through you. Have used another site in the past but prefer your booking process and clarity of information. The only suggestion i would have is the possibility of a live chat as i wanted some advise on the options i could consider. Nothing further.

Great

Fantastic experience. Just like the other great reviews. I searched internet and this was the best value and terms for the 4x4 rental in Iceland. Customer service at the rental office was smooth. I had pre-trip questions via email which was responded promptly. The 2017 Duster was an excellent 4x4. We had to help out another family in Rangeover from Sixt by the MyVatn crator. I echo the other comment from another customer, we had to wait at the airport for 30+ minutes for the driver because he had to pick up another family on a later flight. It would be better to be notified in advance since we did not have phone service in Iceland.

I was impressed with the promptness of the people who work at Lava and how they made my wife and I feel like we're the only client they have. I look forward to using Lava car Rental in the future.
Tom & Lynn

Simply great, friendly staff, fast pick-up and drop off to the airport, no delays during car renting and returning. Had no problems with the car, we travelled trough the whole Iceland in it:)

The car was perfect and the experience with a 4x4 in Iceland is greatest. The only recommendation that I can give is to have manual shifts. The automatic transmission usés to much benzine and in Iceland you must consider that point.

We had a great experience with pick up and drop off . Friendly staff happy to help and great at asking abut our trip.and vehicle etc. The car was perfect for our ring road trip. Spacious and reliable and able to cope with those times when the road is a bit more challenging. We had no issues.at all. Thanks

We had a good experience. We were met at the airport & taken to the off site facility where we picked up the car. We added the wi-fi which was a great decision. Return was easy as well. We arrived around 4am & were quickly taken care of & shuttled to the airport.

Everything went smooth and easy from booking on line, getting in touch for more information, picking up and getting back !

Lava Auto was great to work with. They got us in and out of our car quickly and they were available at very inconvenient times. We were not charged any fees and they were the best price for our trip around the island. Would certainly choose them again if I go back.

Really good folks, great car from Lava Auto!

Really excellent service. Great car. Competive pricing. They met us at the airport with a sign and drove us individually to their offices. No waiting. Fast courteous service. I emailed prior to my trip with a couple confirmation questions. I received personal replies within minutes. Working with Lava Auto was a fully personalized experience.

Very good experience. They picked us up at the airport, the formalities were very fast. I added a second driver at a very reasonable price. Quick and efficient also at car return

Everything was perfect : the car, the team and the trip !

It was a perfectly experience, a
good company of rental car .

Lava was great ! Very friendly and uncomplicated people at LAVA car rental. We can recommend your and their service and support.

We were very happy with our car rental from Lava. They were there to pick us up and take us to their business. They were very friendly and the car was great!! We had no problems at all. I was very glad I'd decided to order a gps with the rental, it was more than worth the price. I was also very happy I had run into Northbound when reading reviews in Trip Advisor. The information that you sent was very helpful and informative. Thank you

On a ten hour layover, we had rented from another company two weeks prior. Taking the shuttle to their office was, quite frankly, a crowded, time consuming hassle.
For this part of our holiday in Iceland, we were delighted with the guy standing at the airport with our name and the personal ride to the Lava rental office. It was fantastic! Being dropped off to go home was equally as efficient and easy.
The Dacia Duster was certainly not a high end automobile, but we knew that and it served it's purpose. lol
I would not hesitate to book through Northbound and Lava in the future!

No problems. Picked us up at the airport and drove us to the hotel after returning the car. Personal was friendly.

Very good. We had a problem with the gps in the auto and returned for some help. When they could not make a quick fix they gave us wifi for free and sent us on our way. They were at the airport when we arrived and quickly transported us back to the airport when we returned. The car was in very good shape and exactly as advertised. I would not hesitate to use them again. We had an excellent experience with your site and the actual rental company.

John Fletcher

Everything was ok

Everything was ok

En cuanto a Northbound, todo perfecto. Del estilo de otros portales similares.

Sobre Lava todo casi perfecto. La furgo bastante nueva (15.000 kms), y muy equipada. Todo lo referente a la cama y menaje estaba muy limpio. La furgoneta tiene potencia de sobra y que la cama se haga banco viene muy bien para comer dentro en los dias lluviosos.

El personal que te recoge en el aeropuerto es muy amable y el trayecto hasta donde hacer el papeleo es muy corto. Si bien, a la entrega de la furgoneta no entregan ningún resguardo, eso no me gustó nada, sobre todo cuando alquilas a través de una mayorista, dado que no tienes justificante de haber entregado el coche ni en qué condiciones.

Excellent service from Lava and Northbound. Very clear terms and conditions, great staff and excellent car. we are really going to miss driving around Iceland in it!

Everything went as expected: good service and good performance, what more can you expect?

We found it to be an excellent "ride," especially in the gravel roads in the Westfjords. Very comfortable for 4 adults. A good choice, and we appreciated the all-wheel drive. The staff were great to work with, also.

We had total satisfaction with our recent rental through Nortbound and Lava Auto Rental.

We were really happy with Lava Auto. They were waiting at the airport for us, the car was almost new and we had no problems at all. I would highly recommend them.

Lava picked us up immediately from the airport, and getting in and out of their rental facility was a breeze. Staff was very friendly as well. Renting through Northbound provided for a much better price than Lava directly. Thanks!

Our experience was just perfect : a good car to get where we want without any problem and a whole security.
To let us the car, the staff was very kind and in time at our stay in Rekjavik.
The check out was normal in two minutes just before a drop off in the airport. Just perfect for us.
Thanks for all.

My experience with Lava Rental was very positiv. The car was in a very good condition and the amenities (cooler, heater,gas stove, readinglights,powerplugin) were very useful. The bed was easy to build up and the sleepingbags were comfy and kept us warm.
The car was fuel efficent and easy to drive.
The pick up and drop off of the car was quickly done and very uncomplicated. I do recommend Lava Rental, as we were fuöly satisfied with the service.

It was all ok Java Car where totally uncomplicated when handing over and returning. The car was in a great condition and there are no complaints.

The car was new, clean and very comfortable thanks to very soft suspension, better than in my VW Touareg. In-built GPS was easy to use even without reading a manual. Just the trunk would probably not absorb 4 big cases if we were a group of 4 as originally planned, it was just so so for the 3 of us.

The Dacia Duster was a very good car for our trip. Enough space for the luggage and 4WD.
Lava Auto Car Rental was a good choice. Pickup from the Airport was good. We got the car we reserved. All about invoice, insurances a.s.o was without any Problem. When you bring back the car they drive you to your guesthouse in keflavik.

Good car, friendly people, beautiful Country , awesome Weather

Great experience based on reviews of other dealers. We had no problems, easy.

Great expirience, great staff, great price!! I will recomend everyone!! Thank you Northbound!!

Good service, nice car - we were very pleased to the Lava Auto and can recommend it.

Great Customer service
Great Price

It was a great experience. Although I would have felt more comfortable with a bigger vehicle for some parts of the F-roads.

Everything went very smoothly-we did have to wait for our driver at the airport for a short while but realized it was because another group landed after us and they came based on their flight-probably helpful to know by an email since we started to worry but after that-it was great-very helpful, loved the discount gas card(with free coffee!) and portable wifi we rented was a lifesaver! I would definitely rent from Lava and online through Northbound again!

Excellent! Friendly, efficient service. Prompt pickup shuttle at both the airport and at the service building. Our 4wheel drive vehicle was in excellent shape and took us safely into the back country. The GPS is invaluable in Iceland. Don't leave without it!

After reading ALL the negative comments I didn't even want to rent a car in Iceland. But I researched reviews and went with Northbound web site broker company and rented with Lava car rental. My rate was cheaper through Northbound than it would have been through Lava. Our plane was 6 hours late and I was worried that Lava would not be at the airport to pick us up. We waited maybe 5 minutes and a welcoming young man greeted us with a huge smile making our first few minutes in Iceland a good one. I purchased the gravel protection as we were traveling the Ring road, due to all the reviews. I videoed the car condition inside and out before we took it off the lot. I was worried the entire time about what hassle and charges I would have to deal with when returning the car. NOT one problem with them at all but I did take it slow driving on gravel roads. Only problem was that the SUV I rented had the horn on the side of the steering wheel and I never knew that, I thought the horn was broke. So trying the get sheep off the road without a horn was a pain. Lava was not pushy at all in trying to up sell me anything although I wished they did try to sell me the car internet as we drove for 2 days without any cell service. It was fine but if we had a problem phone connection would have been nice. A great experience with Northbound and Lava. I would rent from them again. Both were great company's. Lava also gave us a discount gas card for Oli's gas stations which came in handy. When getting gas ALL pumps only take debt cards. If you are using a credit card you have to go inside and pay and some stations do not have people working just a pump so I couldn't get gas there. Also I understand every 6 months all cars have to pass inspection so you car will be in working condition. I also like Northbound/Lava as I was able to cancel I think 24 hours before arrival. rate both company's 5 stars out of 5 stars

Iceland a heaven on earth and travelling with Nissan NV200 was a great experience. People at Lava Auto car rental were so cool and there was no extra charge. I had to change the headlights during the tour but they did refund the money back for it too. Also while returning the car we didn't have to clean the car rather just throw the bigger trash. Highly recommend Lava Auto Car Rental.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience renting a Duster via Northbound from Lava Car Rental. Their customer service is excellent. Our flight got in early our first morning, and sure enough, someone from Lava came and picked us up early! We only waited about 10 minutes! They were extremely thorough in their inspection of our car before we left, and it genuinely felt like they were looking out for us the whole time. We love Lava!

everything went fine, friendly and without any problems

A good honest service. With zero fuss. Had to take car back earlier than expected due to early flight, no issue and transfer back ro hotel no problem. To sum it up top marks.

The car was reliable and in very good shape. It fitted perfectly to our needs and we hadn't any problem with it.
Further, service from Lava Car Rental team was excellent. Shuttle service from/to airport was reliable, even our flight arrived with delay. Rental process itself (paperwork etc.) was very smooth.
We can recommend Lava Auto Car Rental.

Lava Auto were great. The staff were friendly and helpful, the communication throughout the process was timely and the car was ideal and in good condition. They met me at the airport and took me back there after a 430am drop off. Nothing was too troubling for them. I needed to make some minor adjustments to our booking timings during the rental period and it was no issue. I will be using them again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others

First off, I recommend Lava wholeheartedly. It is a young, family-run company that works hard to provide excellent service. I signed up for a manual transmission but at the last minute we realized that my traveling companion, who was to help drive, had never driven manual. Fortunately, Lava had a car with automatic transmission available, and we made the switch quickly and effortlessly. I am glad this involved an upgrade to a small SUV because we drove non-stop, and were comfortable all the way. One other thing: by mistake, I took the keys to the first car to our destination an hour away. Lava was very nice about it, even going so far as to drive to where we were to retrieve the keys so we did not have to go back.

Fantastic experience. Easy pickup and drop off with an incredibly helpful and understanding staff. Car was perfect and no issues. Will recommend. Thank you!

Hi, it was a fantastic experience. Your company treat us very kindly. The van was perfect for two people, only two things you can improve: a tin opener and two curtains to get more privacy. We highly recommend your company.

Lava Auto provided a wonderful experience. All their staff were very friendly and helpful. We received a Toyota Rav4, which was an upgrade from what we had anticipated. The Rav4 was in very good condition and fit our needs perfectly. I would certainly recommend Lava Auto to friends and family travelling to Iceland.

Compared to campers in the same size from other providers the Nissan from Lava seemed to be the best regarding interior and positioning of the interior! Very good!

We had a fantastic experience with Lava. Pick up and return of our vehicle was well-coordinated and easy. Additionally, they were very accommodating of some last minute travel woes that caused changes to our itinerary. Our car served us very well for a trip around the Ring Road.

Everything was top notch. Highly recommend using this rental company! I'm already thinking of when I can visit Iceland again and I without a doubt will be using Lava Auto.

Excellent! We were picked up at the airport and brought to the car rental facility quickly. The agent we encountered were very nice and professional. The entire process was seamlessly efficient!

When you are in Iceland, you have to ensure
You have proper clothes and a reliable car considering the rugged landscape of the country. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision to rent from Northbound. The car was from Lava Auto rental. The model was of 2017 as mentioned in the website. The car was certainly heavy duty as it handled the landmannalaugar pretty well without a dent. I was able to compare prices between several rental companies and decide. The rental was super smooth starting from airport pick up to dropping us back.
I certainly recommend Northbound and Lava auto rental for car and campervan rentals.

We were soooooo happy with the Rental Company Lava and the Car!!! It was really like we were thinking and hope. The were verry frendly helpfull and uncomplicated!!! The Car was nearly new and spend a lot of space and to Drive with the Duster was just phenomenal !!!!
Thanks to all !!!
Rita and Lahcen from Switzerland

Lava employee who picked us up and dropped us back to the airport was so friendly! Our van worked out perfectly for us, and we had a great trip exploring Iceland. I definitely recommend Lava for rentals.

Renting a car using Northbound to find the best deal was so easy to do! We ended up renting from Lava Auto and the experience was great. There was a quick and easy check in/out plus they gave a ride to and from the airport which was a big help. Our car was a small hatchback and it suited our needs for two adults and a few bags of luggage. It was a nice new car in great condition, I think we were only the second people to rent it. Overall very happy with our choices and we loved out trip driving around Iceland!

Our experience with Lava was outstanding. Their service was prompt and personal, with no hard upsell. The cars were exactly what was needed for Iceland's roads. I don't intend to use anyone else on future trips to Iceland.

Very good, everything was on time and according to my order including type of car

Didn't get Toyota Aygo. Got Hyundai i10 instead, only found out about that at the desk when went to pick up the car. Nice little car, got us around the whole Iceland without problems. Car clean and nice. Loved friendly staff of Lava Auto.

More than excellent. Great car, great service, very satisfied.

The experience was amazing. I would totally recommend it to anyone!

Excellent. We would rent from them again. We loved the Dacia Duster and wish it was available in the US. We were very impressed with the good mileage. The car was very comfortable. We had confidence in the car wherever we drove. It was easy to rent from Lava.

We had a good experience in Iceland, a driver came to take us at the airport and the car was exactly what we expected. We rented a 4 wheel drive toyota land cruiser and it was perfect for icelandic roads. When whe gave the car back someone drove us back to the airport. Great experience.

Great service - dropped right at hotel and they took us to the airport in the car so we didn't have to transfer our bags out of the car. Car was clean and well kept. Pricing was great. We were completely satisfied. Thanks for a great experience.

We rented a Hyundai Tucson from Lava while in Iceland and could not have been happier. They were there waiting for our arrival and returned us to the airport on return. The vehicle was brand new, economical, and got us everywhere we wanted to go safely. There was plenty of room for 4 with luggage for our 10 day Iceland adventure. The staff was friendly and helpful, they even gave us a gasoline discount card to use. This company definitely went out of its way to make sure we had a great experience.

We looked to rent a car from the usual car rental companies at the airport but the prices were crazy so we looked on line for a better deal. We Chose Lava and were thrilled to receive a brand new 4x4 was on our arrival. It was nice to drive a new car and not worry about a break down on the road. Lava Auto met us at the Airport and took us to their rental office just down the road and in a few minutes we were on our way around Iceland. We have travelled to over 115 countries and have rented our share of cars. The nice thing about Lava was the young staff and that on our return we were checked in and on our way to the airport without any fuss. Highly recommend this Rental Agency. The price was right and so was the rental agency. Happy Travels "The Blair Family from Canada"

This was actually one of my better rental car experiences. Never before have I had such great communication prior to my trip. I received several e-mails prior to arriving in Iceland with helpful information about my rental and things to do in Iceland. The "Duster" was a great 4x4, we encountered some fierce weather on our way to a highland glacier and the car preformed great through the mud, snow, and rain. Great service, however I have one recommendation to make it even better. Take some time to explain the 4x4 functionality of the car and how to engage it. We figured it out, but that would have been helpful.

Excellent Experience. First, we arrived early at the airport, and when I called them they came over and picked us up (instead of having to wait for 2-3 hours). Second, getting the car and dropping off were seamless. Lastly, the car we rented had no issues. Overall, a great value!

Lava Auto was great. We used Northbound to book the rental and it was very straight forward. Lava had excellent 24-hour service. it is a 3 minute drive from the airport, and they will pick you up. We didn't have to wait at all after arriving. Would recommend highly

After reading many horror stories of rental car companies in Iceland, I did my research before the trip and could not be happier with the choice of goingwith Lava Auto through North Bound. Impeccable service - being picked up and dropped back to the airport. We rented a 4x4 Dacia Duster for 11 days. It got us around the country with no issues whatsoever. We were sad to part ways with our trusty car. Recommend this company to everyone!

Great experience and service from Lava

The customer service was great. I would defiantly chose this company again.

Really good and helpful service. I definitely recommend it!

The car was perfect for us. We were three persons. We had enogh space and we had no big problems.
We noticed a wrong sound from the car on the first day but it was not a big deal and the guys from Lava Car fixed it in 20 minutes.
But when we had booked the car, we were four persons and we chose the car because the specifications said the car has enogh space for five persons and five baggage. We thought that would be a good option for four persons, four baggage and four backpacks but we never had enough space if we were four guys.
Fortunatelly, we were only three persons and the car was perfect.

I would give you 3 points if we were four guys but we were three guys so i will give 5 points :)

Lava Auto Car Rental is an honest company without any hard sellings. The car collection process was fast and no frills. They gave us a brand new car to drive. A bonus!

My mom and I rented a car from Lava Auto Car Rental through northbound after searching through many reviews and worrying about some of the rental horror stories we had read online. The price of the car was pretty good for the week we needed it for and they were very flexible with our pick up as we had arrived in Iceland at 6 AM and took the Flybus to and from Reykjavik for the day. We were picked up at the airport around 4:30 PM and check in was quick and easy. We drove a small 2017 Hyundai i10 which seemed to be very good on gas and rented a Garmin GPS unit. Returning the car was just as easy and we were given a ride back to the airport in their shuttle. We did recommend that they let people know that if you are trying to get gas after hours that they need a credit card with a pin number or they can purchase a prepaid card when the gas station is open because we did run into that issue at night. All in all, we had a very positive experience with Lava Auto Car Rental and would recommend them to anyone traveling to Iceland.

Rented a vehicle from Lava through Northbound and everything went as planned with zero issues. Was picked up at airport as soon as we cleared passport control and was taken back in the same vehicle we rented and didn't have to switch our luggage around. Would definitely use both, when we visit Iceland again!

Lava Auto Car Rental is great place to go. They pick you up at the airport any time. We didn't have any problems.

We had a great experience with Lava Rental. We were picked up from our early morning arrival and shuttled promptly to our car. We were not pressured to buy an extras but were kindly offered options. Returning the care went quick and smoothly and we were quickly shuttled back to the airport. Both parties we dealt with were friendly and helpful. I would definitely rent from Lava again

Our experience was fantastic. Everything went smoothly and we could enjoy the country thanks to the set up van. Very comfortable.

The Dacia Duster was perfect for our family of 5. The manual transmission was very easy to shift
and we seemed to get very good mileage with the diesel fuel. It was a tight squeeze with our 5 pieces of 26" luggage, but Lava helped us out and held a couple of our bags for us temporarily. Our flight was late and it did take awhile to get our bags and exit the airport, so there was no one waiting for us and it did take a bit to get a ride. Not a big deal though and found the return very easy as well. Would use Lava again.

Hi, been to Iceland this June, and need to say the country is absolutely a magical place and would recommended for everybody to come and enjoy Iceland. To see the most of Iceland renting a car was the best option and we had a great experience with Northbound finding a best deal and a suitable car. We rented Dacia Duster from Lava Auto Car rental and it showed to be the prefect choice. The staff was very helpful, they meet us at the airport and it took just a short drive to their office where we picked up our car. As we arrived late in the evening and was a bit dark the guy just gave us the car and said if you notice anything wrong different than stated in the contract don't worry just take some pictures and send them by email. As we did the next morning when we found some scratches and when returning the car everything was alright. The car was new and it was just a pleasure to use it exploring Iceland. This was my first experience renting a car and it was a great choice. For some next trip to Iceland I'm definitely using the same company and hopefully the same car.

Lava Car Rental was by far the most responsive and easy to work with company I have yet to work with. Their team was full of genuinely caring people whose priority was making sure my experience was as good as it could be. Would recommend their services to anyone.

Very pleased, will recommend. Easy online booking, excellent communications from Northbound. Lava Auto Car: Airport pickup was perfect. Car rental process easy. Car in excellent shape. Staff very nice. Get the feeling of trust from them. Decided to return car day early to avoid 5AM car return to airport or to Lava office (special arrangements could have been made for lift to airport). We could have left the car at airport with keys in it, but we prefer inspection and sign-off before leaving country (years of experience!). They could accommodate either option, given they are not located at airport. Need lots of time at KEF airport as it is a madhouse at 5AM :-)

Amazing car and service. The duster was incredible for fuel efficiency. Shuttle too and from airport was perfect and on time

I hadn't heard of either Northbound nor Lava before booking, but took a chance based on them being the best price i found. We booked a Dacia Duster 4x4 for 2 and a half weeks. It fit me, my husband, my mom, our 2 kids (with car seats!), and all of our camping gear. Tight fit but worked great for our budget! The car was very new (we doubled its kms). THe staff at the office were amazing- super friendly, relaxed and helpful. Free pick up (we arrived at 4am!) and drop off at the airport too! would definitely recommend :)

Really pleased with the car rental service from Lava.Car was like brand new and drove really nicely.Would definitely recommend and next time I am visiting Iceland I won't be spending hours searching for the car rental agency as Lava will be my one and only choice!

We are SO happy to have found Lava Auto. They helped make our entire experience smooth an enjoyable, while also being economical. Crazy right? After visiting Iceland the first time we vowed if we were ever able to return, we would travel in a camper van as too many hours were lost trying to get to where we were sleeping. After doing a ton of research we found Lava. The booking process was a breeze, they met us at the airport with our name on a sign and brought us to their location. Check in was simple and we were on our way. The van was simply furnished but had everything we needed like a gas stove, a pan, bedding etc. When we returned they quickly got us back to the airport for our departure. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them and will be using them again if we are ever fortunate enough to visit a third time!

Lava rental were great from pickup at the airport through to drop off at the end of the hire. Great company would recommend if you want to hire a car in Iceland.

Our first trip to Iceland was such a great experience ! Northbound was very good to deal with, Friendly and courteous. The Duster got us us everywhere we needed to go, and was great on fuel for the longer trips. With the exception of F roads, I highly recommend this vehicle for touring icelands spectacular attractions.

I found that the most enjoyable part about Northbound was how comprehensive the site was. It seemed to overview every detail and incorporate as many rental companies as possible. It was comforting that I didn't have to jump and try to find the best price from twenty different sites.
Keep in mind that this is biased as I was mainly looking for 4x4's and not compacts.

Great price, good service, easy transaction. Recommended for a trip to Iceland!

We had a great experience! Would definitely rent through Northbound again. Plus the price was the best we could find.

I found the rental via Lava Auto to be pretty seamless - one of the employees met us as we arrived and drove us straight to the Lava Auto (2 min drive). But that made it easier to then exit the airport. Northbound were extremely responsive and helpful before we arrived.

Fantastic, would recommend to anyone.
Can't fault them in anyway.
Will be using them again when we return.

Excellent - competitively priced, and they were efficient, friendly, and provided us with all the necessary information we needed including some valuable tips on avoiding damage to the vehicle (such as keeping a firm grip on the door handles during high winds.)

Lava Auto Car Rental and their services was just amazing. Very fast ,super friendly staff and all my expences much better than I've expected. Return was so symple ,I just left the car in the airport carpark with the keys inside and went for my flight ..hope I'll get back one day..easy going company. Highly recomended!! Jan&Dominika

very friendly staff

Absolutely fantastic experience. Met at the airport even though the plane was early by 30 mins. Transfer took 5 mins & we were given a new van which was stocked with very warm sleeping bags (down to minus 15 degrees) super comfy pillows & ingenious bed/seating combo. The heater in the van was a life saver as it was cold, wet & very stormy on a couple of days we were there. The van coped beautifully with the gravel roads.

Everything went smoothly from pick up to drop off

One of the Hotels we made the booking at recommended you car rental service in their welcome email. We are in love with Iceland after our first trip there and the car we rented made it perfect. Thank you, we will definitely come back one day!

Lava Car Rental was great! Truly.
Major travel oops happened when I thought our group was arriving in Iceland in the PM when actually it was early in the morning, VERY early. Despite me having a completely different pick up time, they came to the airport to pick us up right when they opened and got us the car for us to begin exploring right away. The car was great; got a manual diesel (highly recommend) and drove fantastic since many roads are a bit rough with pot holes and gravel, etc. Both people that assisted in the pick up and drop off at the airport were very friendly and seemed interested in our plans and experiencing. A+

Everything went great and smooth! We were picked up on time and the service was great!

Lava car rental was fantastic! Very friendly and super nice. I recommend Lava car rentals!

The car was in superb condition, easy to drive in, and gentle on the gas tank. Pickup and drop off was a breeze compared to other major brands in the airport, no long queue, no hassle. We had some flight timing issue last minute and they promptly accommodated the booking to our timing, excellent service there!

courteous service, reliable, fair and excellent rental! we reviewed and researched and rented from lava for our six-day adventure with our nine-year old. lava did not disappoint! they picked us up from the airport and had a straightforward contract, and didn't mince words. we had a pretty cool sub-suv with studded snow tires. highly, highly recommend lava for your tour of iceland.

Everything was perfectly arranged! From airport pick up to airport drop off!

Everything went very well when renting with Lava Auto. Any questions I had were answered, there was a very simple pick-up and drop-off procedure, the car (2016 Rav4) worked perfectly, the gps and wifi worked as good as could be expected for the location of our road-trip. I honestly don't have a single complaint about the whole process.

A great experience, the car was perfect, Lava was easy to work with and very nice! Would definitely rent with them again!

Lava Auto Car Rental was great. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, which is just a couple minutes from their building. The car was really nice and perfect for Iceland roads and weather.

Awesome!! Brand new car!

Booking our car hire from Reykjavik airport was very straightforward from the UK. When we arrived we were met by Lava Auto Car rentals at the airport, and taken the short journey to the Lava office to complete forms. It was a pleasure to deal with Lava staff. Everything as pleasant, and there was no pressure to buy things like extra insurance that we didn't need. We really enjoyed the car, a Dacia Duster. The price seemed very reasonable, and less than using one of the standard international companies. The return was straight forward - as we had an early start, we left the car in a parking site at the airport. I would for sure go through Northbound/Lava again.

I could not have imagined a greater rental experience for myself. From pickup at the airport to the dropoff, they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only was our vehicle fantastic, but we also received tips on where to go at night and where to eat.

Friendly staff. Excellent service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE WANTING TO TRAVEL ICELAND BY VEHICLE.

Troy

Service good (as in sport - when referee's work is perfect, nobody notice him) - no delay, no fuss, no hassle. Car - same as advertised (Dacia Duster diesel), good condition, no problems. Price - somewhat lower than in other companies.

Great Service! Were having an issue closing the roof top carrier(new to it nothing wrong with the equipment) and they were ready to be with us in few minutes but we figured out on our own.

The experience was amazing. Very easy pickup and drop off and the car exceeded our expectations.

Delighted. Excellent service, excellent car.

Great experience!

Excellent service and friendly atmosphere with Lava Car Rental. The Dacia run great with a good mileage rate.

Smooth experience. Car was in perfect condition (Renault Duster). Not a corporate experience. The employees were very friendly and helpful.

The pickup went smooth, we felt a little bad because we were late arriving to the airport, but the employee picking us up was very nice and cordial. Collecting the car was a breeze, they were thorough but effective, ensuring we felt comfortable and knowledgeable. The car performed well, next time we might choose a little bit larger of a car (just a personal preference), but we had no issues. Returning the car was easy, with little to no hassle, and within 24-hours I received an email checking up, to ensure we had a good visit using their car.

We had a great experience with our rental car in Iceland. Our flight was delayed, so we had to call Lava to come get us, but they made the rental process very easy. The car was excellent - just what we needed for our tour of south Iceland. We were surprised about the studs on the tires, however we were very glad of them when driving through blizzards! The navigation (included with rental) was a lifesaver and the car was clean and new. I shopped around and Lava offered the best price on a 4WD car. Return couldn't have been easier - we just dropped the car off in the lot opposite the terminal. Thanks so much.
