Northern Lights Car Rental in Iceland

It was a great car for driving as we had snow and ice on the road. I was comfortable with the car as it was not in perfect condition and I was not afraid to drive it. The only problem we had was with the wi-fi box we rented would not hold the charge for even 30 minutes. We sent in a complaint by email.

Very good ! Nice car, smooth service - both pickup and dropoff.

Very friendly service in Polish from the beginning. The guys gave some valuable advice on the specifics of driving in Iceland. Quick pick-up of the car. You can buy additional insurance on the spot. Which can sometimes be useful. The rental employee explained all the options very professionally. The car had rather high mileage, over 200,000 km, but it drove without a problem. The only thing that was annoying when driving into the sun was the windshield grained from a chip of gravel. No problem returning the car. Quick transfer by minibus to the airport.

All perfect!! Just when we arrived , we waited 45 / 50 minutes at the Airport terminal the shuttle. (Too Much??)

I got a Mitsubishi Eclipse instead of Kia Sportage.

This was the perfect car for our trip. It got us everywhere we needed to go with no issues at all, even through some precarious roads. Having a slightly older car was also ideal for our trip, as we didn’t need to worry nearly as much about any minor dings that may happen on gravel roads. Will definitely rent through Northbound again for our next Iceland adventure!

First it was chaotic but later after a few misscalls I got a good employe, that helps me with my questions.

All well that ends well but I am not fully happy how whole car rental went. Finding person when arriving Keflavik was easy, that was nice. While renting car itself was not smooth. Polish guy was talking with difficult accent and way too fast. Hard to understand what he means. So i was forced to take insurance i did not want. Pressure moment when other customers waiting behind.. Car itself was nice and clean but all kind of warning lights were blinking at screen. Service overdue and tire pressure failure. Even pressure was okay with tires. When returning car i got accused to been driving in a sand storm and damaging paint on drivers side. I was able to proof with pics i took before starting to drive how paint was and with weather data that it was raining when i was driving. No sandstorm even possible on my route. On the way back to airport our driver was speeding up to 120 km/h and taking over other cars even though No one of us customers was in hurry. Unnecassary and saved us maybe 25 seconds..

The Suzuki jimmy was a great way to see Iceland. I was able to drive and have peace of mind having an older car that can handle different weather conditions and roads. I was happy to have the option to drive a manual, and have the pop-up tent on the roof that was very comfortable. The sleeping -bag I rented was warm enough for Iceland weather and I slept extremely well. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
