Nordic Car Rental in Iceland

Good. Car had 143000 kms but prIced lower than most. Battery was weak and needed recharging when I left lights on during dinner.

The car was older but functional. The oil light did come on while driving but the staff was very helpful in fixing the situation.

The car rental with the Northbound was easy. Pick up and drop of the car was smooth and staff was very friendly.

Great. Clean, efficient, and reliable car.

Goood

The jeep was quite old and rusty. Closed air vents did not prevent outside air from coming in which made it extremely deafening at times. As the doors didn't shut properly, I constantly had to repeatedly slam the doors to ensure they were closed. The jeep constantly indicated that the doors were open on the unpaved roads despite my pulling over to check the car doors. The positive point about the junky dented jeep was that I didn't concern myself if the road conditions were poor or about the gravel scratches as they would have blended in with the rest of the car. Apart from the state of the car, I have to say that the help and the advice I received, the lovely people I dealt with will have me as a returning customer.

Good experience overall, first car had a bad battery - they changed it immeaditely (also to a newer model)

My experience was great. Staff were very welcoming and made it a very stress free experience. Car worked flawlessly the whole trip. Thanks for the great service!

Perfect for 2

Our Trip to Iceland was impromptu. So we had just about 1.5 Months left before the trip starts & searching the car rental was scary. As we learned the importance of various insurance the car rental was turning out to be costlier & costlier. That is when I came across a post to check this rental company. The price they were offering was unbelievable. But there were other cheap rentals too in the market with terrible reviews. This is were Northbound & its Nordic Car Rental stood out. They had excellent & clean reviews with a very very good track record. Additionally all the possible car insurance was included. They don't have their office right at the airport but they do offer a pickup & drop at desired destination with a small additional cost. Even with this additional cost the price they offered was a total winner. Th pickup was right on time & the whole experience with their car was equally good as mentioned in earlier reviews. No hidden fees charged, no fooling of customers. I highly recommend them.

I was very satisfied with our car and Nordic Car Rental crew. The whole deal was fantastic. And also Northbound company employees were polite and helpful by cancelation and reordering another better deal shorthly before our holiday. I will definitely choose Nordic Car Rental and Northbound for my next stay in Iceland. Many thanks one more time for such a great support.

Since I chose not to upgrade my cell phone before traveling, I wasn't able to use it upon arrival. This caused some confusion at the start while we waited for an hour to be picked up at the terminal, trying to decide if we should rent a taxi to get to the car rental office because there were no phones at the airport to call the company and my only option for communication at that point (6am) was email. That was a confusing start to our vacation. We were eventually picked up by a very nice and informative person and set us right on the road in a very clean economy car. We were very happy with the car and service. On the plane ride in, we decided to add on the mobile wifi, and it was the single most important decision of our trip. We had planed to see and do it all in 9 days, staying in AirBnB's along the way, and we simply would not have have made our itinerary if we didn't have exact mapping and research/review capabilities along the way. Our check back in and drive back to the airport took about 1 minute to get on the road. I would recommend Northbound and use their services again.

Long Pick up at airport, our flight and baggage came in late. Was initially given a manual but eventually fixed to automatic and then after that everything was great.

Very helpful and responsive

Fine experince - no problems at all.

The pick up from the airport was well managed. The car needed maintenance. There was damage to the driver’s side door which should have been fixed before it was rented out.

Fast, easy and reliable. A good selection of vehicles and the price range is affordable.

Everything worked on this rental. We drove the Ring Road (3000+ km) over 2 weeks and the only issue was a windshield wiper that occasionally squealed. Checkin and return were easy with helpful, friendly employees and the price was good. I recommend them.

We rented online from Nordic; everything was very smooth. We were met at the airport with no waiting at all & no confusion or difficulty. Got the car we expected, did not have to re-review coverage, etc. The car was not new, as we had known, and had a few dings; we had zero problems with documenting those & getting on the road. We similarly had no problem on returning it. Very good experience.

Good

Experience was great. We were picked up ~15mins after landing, the car was as expected. Great price:quality ratio.,

Nordic Car Rental was great. I arrived to airport early and they dispatched a pickup when I called to let them know. I was in and out and on my way to the Blue Lagoon so quickly which is so much better than some big car rental agencies that I have used in the past like Enterprise and Hertz. The car ran great. The GPS was top notch and I only had 1 problem location, but it was so rural, that isn't the fault of the GPS. The Gas cards associated with the Rental really helped out but there was 1 location that wouldn't take it. Also, because I think it was "super" rural. I would totally rent from Nordic Car again. The Price was fair, and they got me to the airport with time to spare before my flight back to the US. They also give you a packet with all the info you need in the case of an emergency or problem with the vehicle, but I never needed it.

Great car, superb service. Zero problems with the car so I can’t rate the breakdown service or anything but what we did experience was perfect and a cheaper option than other car rentals I think in Iceland.

Very positive! The company is small and catered to every customer! We found all employees to be friendly and competent.

Good car, economic, cheap rent. Not much comfortable, but its ok for this type of car.
