Rent.is in Iceland

The camper was fairly old but seems to have been well maintained, with the exception of the heater. Service was busy but generally friendly.

Some of the worst customer service we have ever experienced. The car was good, very expensive to fill up especially with diesel - you're looking at $150 AUD for a tank. However we weren't guided well on how to use the car, where to camp etc... We were simply told " I don't know" for a lot of things. When paying over $1600 AUD for a car for a mere one week, we'd expect to be treated better. The wifi seldom worked and the child seat didn't lock into place so we had to use our own. I wouldn't recommend this company

I was afraid that fridge won't work (read in other reviews) and it happened to me. You can't check during pickup, as lamp is on, just no cold. Everything else is quite good. The car was relatively old (200k KMs, 7+ years), but condition was OK.

practical car and the ideal companion for days in Iceland

Our experience with Rent.is is very good. Peter who checked us in was very helpful and even gave us tips on our itinerary. He suggested for us to start on the north side as the weather will not be good on the south. We followed his advice and our trip went well. Pick up and drop off to the airport was smooth. Over all rent.is is recommendable for me. Thank u

This is a pretty small abode for two people. We made it work but there was some juggling of items everyday to make it work comfortably. I would suggest getting a bigger model, one with doors on both sides of the rear of vehicle so accessing items below the bed is easier.

The Dacia Duster was great to go around the ring road. We slept in the wild using the rooftop tent provided and managed to access difficult spots with the 4WD. Just make sure to check the camping gear such as the cooker before leaving as ours wasn't working.

I chose you for the prices, but my experience was amazing. The van was clean and had everything needed for a great trip. There was a ton of storage for those of us who maybe overpacked. And the bedding was clean and comfortable to sleep on for a week. The cable would not plug in for us and therefore we were out of electricity for a few nights, but when we called for help, the people were very helpful.

Really positive thank you Lots of space, good car Easy set up and quick process sorting everything

Very well organized. We rented a camper through Northbound on Rent.is. We arrived at dawn and were waiting for us at the airport, reception open 24/7 and without any problem. Totally recommended. Muy bien organizado. Alquilamos una camper a través de Northbound en Rent.is . Llegamos de madrugada y nos estaban esperando en el aeropuerto, recepción abierta 24/7 y sin ningún problema. Totalmente recomendable.

Great budget camper for one or two. This is the 3rd time I used northbound.is. This time I rented the Doblo Maxi for a 2 night November Stopover in Iceland. It was a cheep off-season rental that provided a car and "hotel" one. It has everything you need but the heat only works on campsites with power of which there are not many open during the off-season. With a warm sleeping bag it is not needed. The fuel economy is good. Expect 5-6 l/100km. Make sure you take pictures of all sides of the car before leaving. Having done that saves me because there was some existing damage on the door that I had overlooked. Make sure you get a full fuel tank and if not, take a picture and return it as empty as you got it. They may give you a non-full car and do not refund you money if you bring it back full.

Mostly served our needs very well. A few recommended improvements: getting in and out of van for sleeping is difficult. No internal handles on side doors and rear door is small latch with no handles. Mattress is a bit too long and not able to slide forward due to wire cage behind driver's seat, to allow rear door to close easily. Perhaps remove the wire cage (not sure what it's needed for). Place a few hooks on the side walls of the rear for convenience (hanging towel, wet swimwear, headlamp, etc.)

The option for early morning pickup was great. 5:00 versus our friend who booked with camper van Iceland (which actually ended up being europcar) he had to wait until 8:30 when they opened . Our car was dirty , the sleeping bags smelled bad (maybe some sort of deodorizer was used that smelled bad), all the window shades were broken except the trunk hatch one . The car was reliable , although when idling for long the coolant temperature dropped so low that there was no warm air . It was good while driving . The oil change service light was on when we picked the car up and would ding every time we started the engine. The latches for our butane stove case were broken . There were screws and rivets used to fix things inside the camper. One of the rear side windows would not open . The dometic fridge didn’t stay very cool. Our friends rented from Europcar and their van was almost brand new, and had a built in kitchen - and it was the same price . Thank you for your time and making an easy pickup and drop off. ,tucker wimmelman

Good Morning Ivar, thanks for your question. We had a very great time in your iceland and everything was good! We get a nissan 4x4 but it´s the same. There were a little bit issues at the car but rent.is repairs and check instantly . Very friendly and open 24/7 is very good. We can give back the car in the morning at 04:00 am and so we can sleep the last night in the car and reach our flight at 07:00 am in the morning. Pick up and drop off at the airport were also great. Regards Jörn

The car was quite old (I knew that) and worn out.

It had everything we needed. Comfortable bed, cooking supplies, table, water jug. The small electric heater kept us warm at night. Easy pick up and return to the airport and good service when picking up and returning the van. Do note: the passenger seat is made for skinny people and as a woman with hips, (185lbs) the seat belt was very uncomfortable and dug into my butt.

I don't recommend them at all. The heater works only 3 or 4 hours and is extremely noisy, you can't sleep. When I tried to cancel the contract (on the third day of twelve) they told me that they would not give me anything back

I upgraded to a Renault Trafic, as I wanted a larger camper. It was a very nice vehicle.

The van had everything we needed! Was very nice to have a water jug, table, cooking supplies, bedding etc. We could tell a lot of thought was put into the van renovation and were very grateful during our adventure :) We did experience a flat tire which made us alter our plans and almost missed a whole day of the trip, but we managed. Would recommend checking tire tread on vehicles that are regularly doing the ring road. Petr the airport shuttle driver is so friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable about Iceland. He gave amazing recommendations. We very much enjoyed talking with him both when arriving & departing.

I had read lots of reviews and we made the decision to take our campervan from rent.is. We had a great interaction with the staff and our vehicle performed very well. Great gas mileage (which is important) and customer service. We will definitely use northbound.is for any future rentals and referrals in Iceland!

The van was good, no problems other than the passenger window would not go down unless the button on the driver side was used.

What an amazing car, the Fiat Doblo Maxi is! I enjoyed my time with it immensely. It drives well, feels well, is quite economical, is comfortable for sleeping in and as a storage base (once you find "your system" of organization). It was clean and had lots of nice features. And the manual gear driving is so much fun! I would buy one of these were I to live in Iceland or a similar country. Rent.is's camping equipment, stove, heater and so on - were also great. The sleeping bags were find for sleeping in up to 4 degrees Celsius without a heater. I highly recommend rent.is! Pros: New! Great to drive, fun Economical Very spacious, huge front pane of glass that makes Iceland feel "right here with you" Great sound system Comfortable Cons: No good place for coffee cups or open drinking cans No reverse sensors (or even better, camera) Fridge is a bit uncomfortable Hard to shut the back door properly from the inside (when going to sleep) - nothing to grab Can't go on F-roads (but most roads are not F-roads, check out https://vegasja.vegagerdin.is/eng/) Pickup was a bit harder than it should have been - couldn't find the shuttle near the airport, and the rent.is guy didn't hold a sign or really go into the Arrivals terminal except for standing near one of the doors for a few minutes every now and then, before leaving and returning again.. but after emailing them and asking for help around, I found the guy and after that the pickup process was completely fine in the office. Tips: Bring your own 12v car plug to multi-USB charger Use Bluetooth or Android Auto Follow the speed limit! Not only is it the right thing to do, there's tons of speed cameras around Iceland and the fines are expensiveeee Remember to pay the toll in some tunnels, like near Akureyri Don't get parking fines!
