Northern Lights Car Rental in Iceland

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.

Every thing worked smoothly form pick at the airport to returning the car. The car was fine, and economical. We were able to see more places because of the car. We had originally planned to use transit, but this was much better. My only disappointment is that you won’t rent for one day on our return to Iceland. We have a long layover of 22 hrs and would have liked to rent to get to the hotel we arranged.

The car is great, it did well on dirt roads. The rental company quickly prepared the car and picked up. I bought a platinum insurance package and didn't worry about anything. I will probably rent again from this place in the future. Employees in Northern Lights also speak Polish.

All staff were amazing and very helpful, only thing is when being collected from the airport the driver was constantly on her phone. Suzuki Jimny with a roof tent was great. Tent itself was very clean and comfortable.

В целом, машина мне понравилась. Не смотря, на внушительный пробег (245 тысяч километров) мотор работал хорошо и особенно хорошо работала коробка передач. Потребление бензина- минимальное. Меня это очень порадовало, с учетом цен на бензин в Исландии. Единственное, водительская дверь прилегала не очень плотно и было много шума. Иногда, с нее дул ветер. Не сильно, но моя голова это чувствовала. Повторюсь. Машина прекрасная. Я проехал 1000 км за три дня

Everything went well as agreed. We did whole ring road in March 2024. Went through sun, rain and snow without problem. Car is equipped with winter tires with spikes. Great service, everyting on time. All recommendations!

świetna wypożyczalnia, auto w pełni sprawne bez problemów dało się polubić :), obsługa super miła i pomocna POLECAM!!!!

Had a bad experience with Northern Lights Car Rental in the check in process: - different information in the invoices received (total ammount of 32.384 ISK or 32.051,42 ISK) - the 5.033 ISK ammount already paid was at first not being considered by the rental car firm as they wanted to charge the full ammount. Only after hard conversation I paid the new ammount asked (28.051 ISK) just to avoid more trouble even though it was above the ammount due - they tried very agressively to sell an upgrated insurance - the car was in very bad shape and lacked performance - the radio was not functioning

The car was perfect for driving through Iceland

The car was ideal for our road trip across Iceland. It handled all the roads well and had enough space for all our luggage, as well as 4 adults. The heated seats, air conditioning and bluetooth music options were also very useful. Also the pickup and drop off service from the airport was very smooth. We landed earlier than expected and still managed to pick the car up early without any issues. The whole process was very smooth, and we didn't have any issues, highly recommend Northern Lights!

Good value for money. The problem was that when we arrived at the airport there was only one seat available on the shuttle so they told me to leave my wife waiting for me at the airport and come back later to get her or call a taxi for her. I didn’t like to leave her alone like that waiting for me to come back with the car, this is not good planning. A member of the staff was pretty rude.

The cruise control was vital to help maintain the speeds and avoid traffic tickets.

It was Ok

Great car for the highlands!

Car was changed to Suzuki Vitara

Manteinance of the car is terrible. Serveral lights of error in the panel, including engine error, and your staff said it was ok. The car has no power at all, almost impossible to drive at 70km/h up hill.
