Iceland Car Rentals Reviews

Really enjoyed the customer support. We were delayed at the airport due to delayed luggage, but their representative called us to inform us that they would wait for us. They explained everything to us and the portable wifi was perfect

vert nice staff, car looks new and clean, renting price also reasonable as well

Great experience overall. Good car, clean and no issues over the 1800km driven in a week. Very welcoming people at reception.

Everything was just right.

I was hoping to have a smooth rental experience for my trip in Iceland, and that's exactly what I got with Lagoon! Super easy-going, no-nonsense, hassle-free car rental experience. Really glad I went with them. I would gladly use them again.

All was exellent, Iceland was just fantastic! I am totally happy for rent with Lava.
I`ll be back ;)

The Ford Kuga through Thrifty was in excellent condition and perfect for our needs. Great price when including insurance coverages and one-way drop off!

I had a great experience renting a vehicle from Lava. The staff were nice, helpful, and had some great advice for a first time visitor to Iceland.

Worked out great.
Got extras that overall worked well.
Only thing that was a problem was the wifi unit. Had all kinds of trouble with that, but after talking to worker he refunded money for the unit. Great staff (when around).

Perfect

We had a very pleasant experience. As a party of 4 adults, we arrived with more luggage than the car would hold. The staff was able to find us a bigger car and were extremely kind and helpful. At one point during our journey, the car wouldn't start and we ended up having to buy jumper cables. Icerental reimbursed us for that, no questions asked. I was very happy with my experience.

Great service! Everyone was very friendly and went above and beyond to help us when we encountered some unexpected difficulties on the road. The tent was very spacious and kept us dry during rainy weather. The mattress it came with was quite comfortable and we didn't end up needing the sleeping pads we brought with us. The car handled well and we were very satisfied with our experience!

Everything went well and all services worked fluently with Northbound and Lagoon car rent. It was nice that I got discount for booking earlier and also had to pay most of the cost in the renting place.

CampEasy was great! Everything went smoothly, from pickup to dropoff. They provided helpful information, made sure we felt confident and safe, walked us through everything we needed to know to take off and enjoy Iceland. We'd recommend CampEasy in a heartbeat!

It was great. We had a really good experience with both Northbound who we booked the car through and 4x4IceRental who provided the car. The Grand Vitara was perfect for what we wanted to do around Iceland.

The vehicle ran very well. We had no problems at all. It was comfortable and ecenomical on gas. I would definitely rent it again.

Seamless experience, great car

All the process is quit simple form booking throuh car pick up and drop off. Even though there's no office in the airport car rental center, things was still all easy. The car itself is quite clean , new with no any problem. We're very satisfied of the " Go car rental"

Probably the best experience that we have with a car rental company. Good service and good price.

Thank's!

Excellent service and attention. We will definitely rent from them again when we return.

It has only been a few days since we have been home but everything went well with Ace, the car was clean, full and the model we selected when booking.

The staff at Camping Cars was extremely helpful when picking up the car, and although the car was an older model, it worked well. Maybe we could have found a cheaper price elsewhere but Northbound was an extremly convenient way to compare prices.

One word: Amazing. Our pick up from the KEF airport was very smooth and the guy that rented the vehicle to us was extremely welcoming and thorough with his explanation of the vehicle. I felt like I had support 24/7 whenever I need it and I cannot emphasize how much the campervan has been such a great addition to our experience in Iceland. Will definitely recommend it to anyone considering this option!

very good, good price, best service, very well, highly recommended

Simply put. Northbound has the best prices, straightforward use, and quick process to navigates

We booked a 2015 Ford Focus at Keflavik's Thriffty depot through Northbound. The bus from the airport to the car rental was quick. We got the extra Grand Collision Damage waiver and when we inspected the car, the clerk felt the tires were a little slim on the threads so after a bit of discussion she upgraded us to a 2017 Ford Kuga AWD with GPS, free of charge.

The only gripe we had was that most gas stations are "automats" which only accept credit cards (ours, from Canada, didn't work for some reason), although this had nothing to do with the rental itself.

We arrived early at the airport, so there was a more than an hour wait before anyone from LAVA showed up. But once they arrived, everything went smoothly, all the way to returning the car. The car is small but working fine except that there is no A/C. We surely don't need the A/C for cooling but sometimes I need it to defog the window from inside for better visibility.
Btw, when I pay for the gas, I am happy I got a small car :)

Great experience.
The Dacia Dokker's heating system was especially appreciated, and the equipment furnished with the van (included) is a camper's paradise : small table, chairs, cooking gear, cutlery, kitchen paper. We had absolutely no problems with the car who functioned really well for a very decent price. Would recommend this car from Ace Car Rental in a second!

We had a good experience with northbound.is and Lava Auto - would definitely recommend! Great communication and smooth process all around.

The car is ok. Not the best one, but for that price is realy normal.
Icerental 4x4 guys were very fast polite. It was no problem with car return at all.

The staff in the Keflavik office were exceptionally helpful and very polite. We’re quite happy with the service we received. The Dacia Logan was very comfortable to drive and suited our needs perfectly. The one issue we ran into was that the beeps and dashboard notifications were not easily understood. So it wasn’t always clear what issue a light is sound related to. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

All was good.

hi, Rúnar, Thrifty's Volvo xc90, which you borrowed through your company, was in good condition and the staff was friendly. If you visit Iceland next time, I will use your company again. Thank you. Rúnar

Very friendly and effective. Service staff is helpfull. We will rent again from this company

We were delighted with our experience with Lava. When our plane to Keflavik Airport was delayed by several hours, they quickly made the adjustment to pick us up late at night (11:30 pm). Instead of hitting us with a sales pitch about all the extras we could/should pay for, they had us in and out of their office in no time flat, i.e., we signed a couple of forms and got our keys. They also gave us an extra GPS (no additional charge) in case the one in the car wasn't good enough. We had recently rented a car for one day in Austria and wound up paying around 33% more than anticipated. Although we feared we'd have similar problems in Iceland, this was not true with Lava. The car was also great - sturdy and with great pick-up. It was perfect for our long drives in and out of Reykjavik.

We were met at the airport promptly and returned to the airport quickly after returning the car.
The car had a lot of power and we were very pleased with your company

Everything was perfect! The staff is friendly, the car in great condition. I would definitely use their service again and will recommend it to my friends!

We booked our car through northbound and Lava Auto Car Rental. The whole booking process was very fast and easy. The rental company was great. They were very helpful with any needed assistance. They answered to my emails, phone calls and made the car available one day earlier then scheduled at last minute. We rented a Hyundai Tucson 4WD for 2 weeks. The car was new and worked perfectly, taking us safely and effortlessly through asphalt, gravel an mud roads.
I definitely recommend both Northbound and Lava Auto Car Rental!

Pickup process was prompt and easy. Car provided was as described. No issues with the car whatsoever. Easy drop off process.

Great little suv!

Our experience was completely amazing. Never once an issue with anything. Best experience for first trip to Iceland. Will use you again and would highly recommend you to others!

We had a great time driving around iceland with the Suzuki Vitara from Icerental 4x4. The service and support were very good. And their price is very reasinable.

Went well with the szreets in iceland. Enough hoursepower for every street. Just for some cases I wished to have bigger wheeles like the Iceland cars.

Had a good experience. Had an issue with the first tent and the boys looked after us right away. Would recommend.

Was very happy with how we were treated by IceRental4X4 and the vehicle was great. Only small issue was they were not there at the airport waiting as we were told they would be, had to call the office from the information desk, but was not a problem for us as one of our party had left something on the plane, so by the time our shuttle arrived we were just ready to go. Another little glitch was that we were told that they did not have a Duster available for us, but had a Toyota Rav 4 that we could be upgraded to, which worked out great for our party of 5 as it was a slightly larger vehicle. It gave us great service as were tripped around Iceland and handled the steep passes with ease. Was a no hassle check-in when returned and were treated with respect by all involved. Definitely would book again with IceRental4X4 and the savings by using Northbound made it one of the best car rental experiences I have yet had.

If you need a rental car in Iceland, Lava Auto Car Rental is the way to go!!! After researching dozens of different rental sites, Lava had amazingly competitive rates and tons of options. The customer service was amazing- picked up from the airport with our own greeter and then returned later... everything was a breeze. Thank you Lava Auto Car Rental!!!

We had an excellent experience with Stracta Cars and the Dacia Duster performed perfectly. We had a small scare at the last hour when a red light came on, but it turned out to be a reminder that the jeep needed an oil change, not surprising as we had put over 2000 Km on it in two weeks.

This was a great company to work with. Our reserved vehicle was upgraded due to the fact the one we reserved was not available. It was an acceptable exchange. The staff was very helpful and kind. We would definitely recommend this company and would use them again.

My experience with GO Car Rental was pleasant. We got picked up right on time at Keflavik at 6AM. The gentleman that picked us up was friendly and laid back. Although we didn't get the initial car we picked, we were given a better car in it's place. Drop off was a breeze without any problems. Overall highly satisfied with the service!

Great experience. They helped with our bags and reviewed paperwork thoroughly When we returned the car, they drove us to airport so we didn't have to wait on the bus. Car was in good shape. Would use them again.
