Nordic Car Rental Campers in Iceland

I think the motorhome we hired was sub standard and would not have been acceptable in England. There were many faults with it on collection such as toilet door would not open without much effort. All blinds were torn or stuck in position. The block out screen for the front would not fit so I had to use a sheet. Overall I was not very impressed with the quality of the van.

The trip was a very good experience. Northbound was quick to answer questions. The folks at Nordic Campers were helpful, the fiat was a 2011 and worked well although many smaller items had been patched up numerous times and didn't hold anymore (retracting window blinds, bathroom door hinges etc.) the gear shift ball came off often and I had to learn and be aware of it at intersections or heavier traffic otherwise it would fall off and roll somewhere on the floor with no way to grab the shifter to change gears. None of these were big issues and I pointed them out to the clerk upon returning the vehicle so they have a chance to fix it for the next client. One thing though we were in for 5 days, we paid over a $100 for the propane tank and never came close to using much of it. It would have been nice to return it based on usage or how we found it just like you do with the regular diesel tank. Overall a great experience. Thank you.

The customer service was good when I took the car. All my questions were answered and they fixed some issues with the car before starting the journey. The car was a bit old but worked very well and we could complete the ring Road with any trouble, so We all are very happy with the experience. The heat worked very well and you can sleep with wide space in the camper. I recommend the experience with Nórdico Campers 100%!

Some feedback about our experience: - the car was in quite bad shape outside, lots of damages and scratches all over - the car was not clean inside - the rear door lock was missing some bolts, so it was a bit difficult to lock -the drivers door handle was not working correctly (some spring broken/missing inside?) -side door was damaged, so needs a lot of force to close it -in contract fuel was marked 75%, but when we started the meter was showing 40%. We went back and they corrected it. - the plates were quite ”wear out” - in airport we waited some 30-40 min and not anybody with any ”Pick-up sign”. We need to call them and wait some time. BUT our overall experience of Iceland was VERY good and also car was working despite of all the above negative notes!

In general ok but I must point out the below: - the interior of the camper is not in a very good condition, to name a few: 1. The seat cushions are quite dirty; 2. The ladder to the upper bed did not fit with the holding slots, making the ladder useless; 3. The sleeping kits were handed over to me in a way I don’t feel they are clean (just grabbed by your staff from the garage, without proper packing). Concerned camper is PDU57, please check. - when doing the booking I thought I have chosen the insurance package with the highest protection (I.e. driver does not bear any liability in case of damage, which is common with other rental company), however when I picked up the camper I was told that I still need to be responsible for the damage up to ISK25000, could this be changed in the future? - during the driving the rear car plate was ripped off and at the end I was charged EUR70, with the reason “the car plate was dropped when I was renting / driving”. To be honest I don’t understand this as nobody would be able to keep monitoring whether the car plate is always attached to the car, and apparently the reason of dropping car plate is the problem of the installation by the car owner, not the driver (unless it can be proven that the driver purposely remove the car plate, which normally I don’t think any driver will do so).

My experience renting from Nordic Campers was excellent. The service was fast and efficient. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, they were adequately staffed and I was behind the wheel in no time at all unlike other rental companies I have used- every minute of vacation is precious so I appreciated this very much! There was only one snaffu - I had emailed in advanced to inquire about a cooler with my rental van and I was assured it was included. When I got in the car and was about to pull away I realized there was no cooler, but they quickly verified the cooler was included, got me one, and I was on my way. They took good care of me! Checking out at the end of the trip was equally as fast and efficient, no stress! I got a great deal on the van itself, perhaps because it was an older model vehicle. As such, it had several quirks but thankfully it ran well and got me safely around the Ring Road. My advice to other travelers would be to make sure you are in a vehicle you are happy with. If I were to do it again I would probably pay a bit more for a newer model vehicle.

I coudn't get this car in Nordic Camper . When we arrive to piick it up, the car was not ready. A crap, old and very dangerous motorhome was ofered instead of the high roof. With no options, we have to take it. We have to drop it the next day because of the danger of driving this car because is slides in te road at every movement of the driving wheel. The third place for my child was unsafe and I will guess to say that ilegal (at least in Spain you can't drive with this dangerous place) A old, dirty hig roof was ofered this day, but engine problems made us take a trafic camper (not ofered at the begining) with no hig roof at the same price than the hig roof, when we know (and told to the employee atvthe moment), that this vehicle was cheaper than the high roof. But again, we doesn't have no optios. The renault trafic had good engine, but all the doors were in very bad conditions. Definitely, I can not reccomend your conpany to any one that want to have a enjoyable trip. If you are realy the boss of the company, I will be very worried about that. Wen we drop the car, another customer were complaining very angry because similar situation with the car. No good service is for ever. Sincerely yours.

Not happy with the motorhome. Many defects and broken pieces. One cabinet didn't close. It even has worn out tyres!! I would not choose this company again.

It was a tired old van, no stereo, no curtains, but it was a competitive price and it didn’t let me down. Can’t complain on balance.

We were very disappointed with our Renault. The van is in need of many repairs. On the first morning we spent an hour trying to get the sliding door to close, the locking mechanism was closed when the door was open and would allow the door to close. We finally managed to get the door closed and then we’re afraid to use it for the rest of the trip. This meant we had to access the sleeping area from the drivers door. The drivers seat did not have a functioning headrest. The light for the instrument panel did not work, which didn’t matter much with 24 hrs of daylight unless you were going through a tunnel and then it is a major problem. The drivers door would sometimes open when the vehicle was in motion, this happened 4 or 5 times during the rental. Third gear did not engage very well, it made a grinding sound every time, compared to the other 5 gears which were smooth. Other than the mechanical issues with the van, we had an amazing time! Iceland truly is a special place. We will always remember our time in Iceland.

I found the car to be cozy and comfortable to sleep in. However, you need to include black out curtains for the front windows. I had no curtains for the front windows which made it very difficult to make the sleeping area dark in Iceland's 24 hour day light. I had to use a sheet and cardboard boxes. Please include decent curtains for all Windows. The cooking equipment was great but I would suggest adding a frying pan. The car was okay to drive.

My experiece was overall good! We got picked up pretty fast from the airport (waited 15-20 min max). The car was a bit older but we had no problems during our whole visit. Our checkout was super easy too :) The people that worked there were super nice and informative!! :) I recommend renting form northbound.is. We didnt have a VISA credit card so we had to put down a 1700 Euro deposit cash. We got it back 2 days after we returned the car, so no harm done. But its something to keep in mind if you rent from this place.

The camper was comfortable and easy to drive. Small camper so it had a relatively good fuel economy. One of the wipers was not in good condition which created some issues on rainy days but nothing dramatic. We really enjoyed our time with the camper and would recommend that to anybody considering travelling around iceland.

Это был первый опыт путешествия на кемпере. Мы остались очень довольны выбором.

Well, it's of course e very small "camper" but for the price and for our needings was just ok. We appreciated very much the inside heating system for overnight. We didn't appreciate how the camper had been "cleaned" before we picked it up.

Since nothing special happened at the end the experience was slightly positive. The best was the competence and clarity of explanation from your mechanic. But then I have to say the camper was not definitely in the best condition being quite old and having a lot of flaws and damages internally. The worst was the very high deposit I had to immobilize in my credit card that, summed with the rental cost, immediately saturated the plafond ("normal" credit card has a plafond of 5000€) and I was forced to buy additional insurance to halve the deposit itself. Luckily I had an additional credit card that allowed me and my family to survive in an expensive country like Iceland!

The camper van was bigger than I was expected (with high roof) which was good for comfort but bad for fuel consumption. The curtains were too short or missing. The vehicle was a bit old and noisy

It was a great "value for money" car. Reliably took us all over the Ring road. Webasto overnight heating was really a valuable addition during (even not that cold) nights. Pick up & drop off at Nordic Campers was quite fast, easy and relaxed.

As far as i know your price was the best for renting a campervan.Only one things, the gascooker didn't work, that's all.

The experience was very smooth and quick. Employees answer every single question.

Hi there! well, how I understand this type of vehicles are used by a lot of people, so it's normal to find some problems with them. On my own experience the problem was vehicle age... even the engine, but again I understand how the people use this vehicles. Maybe the only think that I didn't like was the price for that type of vehicle.

Comfortable, fun and easy to drive. Feels safe and has plenty of space in the back.

Nice service, nice camper, friendly people. We had a Wonderfull time!
