Reviews for the Best Car Rentals in Iceland

Good car, very good mileage.

Easy to pick up and drop off and the duster drove well and handled all of the difficult roads that we used it on. The auto all wheel drive mode worked well when we needed it! Not the fanciest of vehicles but it worked for what we needed and the price was very reasonable.

Great service with Northbound as well as Lava rental

While we received a car older then booked, a 2015 Honda CRV, it had more cargo space than the Tucson so we did not mind. The service provided by IceRental 4x4 from start to finish was exemplary. After a slight miscommunication between email conversations and the rental location, the check in and check out of the vehicle went without a hitch, ending with the agent bringing us to the airport in our car rather than have us wait for the next shuttle. We will definitely be using them again.

Very good

La location s'est très bien passée. J'ai apprécié qu'on puisse me rencontrer au lieu de mon choix au départ et au retour. C'est très pratique. La voiture est impeccable. L'équipement est exactement comme décrit.

Everything was well Organized even we did not get in physical contact, the car was perfect for 4 adults

Second time using Northbound and first time using Blue. Everything went seamlessly; car was excellent and service was smooth, even during COVID. Would highly recommend and will certainly be a repeat customer.

We had a great experience with this company. It was easy and as advertised. They have affordable pricing and good insurance included

Excellent services

The people at the desk were welcoming, the papers were already done when i got there, it all went fast and i got plenty of info, enough to drive safe in Iceland. The price was good, i got an upgrade, and when i dropped the car of, it all went smooth.

The i10 was fine for city and golden circle but was a little light for the hwy 1 winds in the south. My rental experience was excellent with fast response from the staff, great price with everything included and no high pressure upsell like others.

Well, it wasn’t a Hyundai it was Dacia. It’s a basic, no frills, stick shift car. It was perfect for our needs and the price was right!

Overall good. The interior was good. The car and motor are too old and heavy.

For a fairly high mileage, older car, it was in very good condition. It served our purposes very well. I could find cheaper cars and newer cars to rent online, but Northbound offered the best overall value of car quality and price. Also, the people at the pick-up and drop-off were really friendly and helpful.

Northbound mailed some information about insurance and about driving in Iceland before our trip. Everybody should read the info and watch the video! (and maybe watch other online videos to get a good sense of what driving is like in Iceland's diverse terrain and very dynamic weather conditions - it snowed 5 out of 8 days we were there in March). Customer support before and during the trip were really good.

I would definitely rent from Northbound again.

Amazing and quick customer service! We got upgraded to a better car for free and we had no problems during the trip.

We had a good experience with Lava Car Rental. The service was quick and the entire procedure of renting and returning the car, was simple and went smooth. We received a Renault instead of the Nissan, which was quite similar. The only downside was that the side door did not open from the inside, just the outside, maybe this could be addressed in the future. The car and its accessories were clean and in good condition. Altogether, we had an amazing time and recommend Lava Car Rental to future travelers.

We got antother car from Lava Car Rental: a newer Kangoo Maxi

Uncomplicate, kind, walking-distance to the airport.

The experience con Icerantal was more then posiive
Initially I should have gone in July 2020. And then arrived Covid .....
The company give me a voucher for another trip, and when I decided to come in february 2021 (obviously a less expensive month) they give me a refund for the excess and box the next car
I decided to book a Toyota RAV 4x4 (february in Iceland?? Better to be prepared!)
They waited for me at keflavik airport and the check in of the car was easy end fast
I decided on a Silver Insurance for my week driving on the South Coast , and the car was exactly how i was expecting
I didn't have any problems (tip: drive slooooowly in the strong winds and you'll never have problems , and the rain with the winter tires is not a trouble. Idem for the ice)
I returned the car and the check out was more than easy
When I'll return to Iceland I'll be sure to rent another car from them

Everything went well, we get picked up at the airport and dropped at the my car office near by, we quickly get our car, nice and clean, we easily drop off the car in Reykjavik.

I had a really good experience with my Suzuki Vitara from Nothern Lights Car Rental. They were all sooo super friendly and will always help and answer you to everything. So from me its definitely a

All went very smoothly with Blue Car Rental. Our car was upgraded, and we were able to change the drop off location to Reykjavik (from Keflavik) for no additional cost, which suited our plans much better. Very pleased.

The car was in a super neat condition, the team are very nice, kind and supportive even at off hour. Very trustworthy and highly recommended.

Hey the Dacia duster used was just perfect for us, Clean, comfortable easy to drive and cheap! I need to rent a car once a month in Reykjavik so I will do it with Northbound again! Thank you

Everything good with the car and the utilities.
The only problen was in delivery, they daley it 2 hours.
I was trying to call several diferent numbers to know whats was happening and wasnt able to skpek with anyone. Until they emailed me and I asked then to call me.
After that was everithing fine.

Amazing experience and amazing car. There was a small issue about blue car couldn't find me in the system and i had to wait longer. But i was given a better car so im happy.:D

it was mazing the experience with northbound nordic car rental campers!im living in iceland and always I thought to do that with a camper, and this car for two person its enough for 10 days , you can do it with other camper bigger than Dacia but with Dacia dokker it was amazing too , i recommend and I will do it again!

The Suzuki Vitara 4x4 was excellent, a comfortable car suitable for Iceland's gravel roads. Of course, you cannot cross rivers, but I guess that's not allowed with any rental car for obvious reasons.
The people at Northbound are very friendly and easy-going. They picked us up at the airport and drove us to our rental car - very comfortable! Also returning the vehicle was extremely easy. We had an early morning flight so we could simply leave the car at the airport parking garage with the keys and the parking ticket inside.
Absolutely recommend!!!

Good experience with Northern, answers with chat on website very fast !

Great car, lived up to all expectations for a tour around the Island including F-roads and bumpy backroad adventures. It had everything you would want such as seat and wheel heating. Good service provided and well organised organisation,

Vehicle was great except for quite a bit of wind noise from the front door seals. Service both on collection and return of the vehicle was excellent

Good

Finally we have got a Toyota Rav 4, it was quite to drive and able to passe different kind of roads (F roads included).
The company was very efficient and helpful when we asked for an help or just so small changes.

Very positive experience. Free upgrade to automatic. No problems with the car whatsoever

everything fine

We had a great experience with Northbound and Fara, no complaints!

Free upgrade for Hyundai Tucson. Thank you!
Come again twice next year and will book a car from northbound. Sorry about some changings before because of canceled flights. Hope you will come through this bad times and wish you many new bookings.
Kind regards

We were upgraded by northern lights Free of charge to a Suzuki gran vitara. The car and service from northern lights was fantastic. Northbound were great throughout at arranging our car rental, including accommodating changes at last minute to suit amended flights. We would highly recommend both companies.

We had a great experience renting through Northern Lights car rental. The whole process went very smoothly, and when we had to modify our dates (because of plane cancelations), we had no issues at all, they were very accommodating and helpful.
I will definitely use their services next time we come back, and would recommend renting through them!

Finally we didn’t rent a toyota rav4 because company hadn’t any available. Instead of toyota they gave us a suzuki t cross. So we are very disappointed about this. Northbound was an excellent company though.

Super easy and quick

Excellent Service and support.

Good service but first car had a broken windscreen, which we refuse to take. Friendly service and rather bad communication. They didn't tell us in advance that the office wasn't open when we should return the car. They should have informed us, we shouldn't have to ask.

The car was great even though had some serious damages outside. We felt safe all the time.

Great service, great prices, good equipment, no complaints.
